The Dems' America Is a Dark, Awful Place, and I Hope They Stay There

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Lerzweinel was never comfortable with the clogging demands made on him during the annual "Pomegranates and Fedoras" festival.
There are a lot of recurring themes here in the early, whirlwind days of President Trump's second term. One of them is that the Democrats are more pathetic than most people after an election loss.
American presidential politics don't see a lot of one-party winning streaks. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an anomaly, and we've shored up the rules since then. Anyway, a regular voter will get used to not having his or her candidate win. It's a regular part of the life of an average American citizen. We learn to live with it and move on.Well, some of us do.
The Democrats invested so much hate and tomfoolery (I'm being kind; it probably won't last) in attempting to prevent the Trump 47 era from ever happening that the loss they suffered last November has broken them just a smidge. The condition is of course compounded by the fact that they weren't mentally well before Trump kicked them to the curb.
They've decided to consign themselves to an emotional and intellectual gulag where they can pass around the sharing stick and vent their spleens about the man who's been the monster under their beds for almost a decade. They don't need to be there; they choose to. The more they lie about President Trump, the darker their world gets.
The stories that they are telling themselves about President Trump are designed to be both attacks and comforts, and they end up being neither. I'm reading some absolutely wild stuff on my daily jaunts through the opinion sections of the New York Times and the Washington Post, none of which bears any resemblance to the world in which we live.
Dispirited Democrats are also lashing out via lawfare because that worked out so well for them last year. That's a dark road that they don't need to go down, but they're committed to it. They may feel brief moments of excitement when a lawsuit is filed or a stay is issued on an executive order, but it will eventually lead to disappointment.
