Dumping Ballast

I've been at least partially watching the election post-mortems, particularly on the left. Here are some themes I've seen from the normal ones:

• The age of the mainstream media is ending. Joe Rogan blew MSNBC out of the water when it came to influence.
• The age of the celebrity endorsement is ending, if it ever existed. I'm sure they'll still seek them out, but probably just for fun.
• Racial voting blocs only exist for blacks and even that is beginning to crumble. Something like 25% of young, black men voted for Trump. They were excoriated by Oprah, Obama and God knows who else for even considering das Volk verraten, but it had no effect. At only 55-45 for Kamala, the Hispanics are effectively gone as a reliable bloc for the Democrats.
• Poisoning and mutilating girls is a total millstone. So are dudes beating up women in sports. The era of transgender affirmation is ending. Trump's most effective ad, the one he ran more than any other, was the one where they talked about Kamala's crazy transgender positions. From internal polling, both campaigns know that ad moved the vote by a couple of percentage points.

Any political party that loses a major election will analyze the situation and dump the positions that cost them a lot of votes. My bet is that they cannot shed the racial madness so that will stay for a couple more election cycles at least. The transgender people are a different matter entirely. There is absolutely no upside to them. They will be dropped like a bad habit.

Now dig this.

This is a strong statement from @realDonaldTrump to put an end to the gender madness. I fully support it, and hope I can help his administration make this a reality. pic.twitter.com/p6LtH5pXMs

One of Trump's superpowers is that he expands the Overton window because he can't help but say anything that comes into his head. Very soon, the victims of the transgender sadomasochists will find themselves with almost no support at all. Big Pharma will ditch them as will all of the large medical groups. Dittos for insurance companies. Yes, they're all making good money keeping the trans victims hooked on their endless need for hormones and doctor visits, but not enough to make standing up against the full might of the Justice Department worthwhile. That product line will be shed with a shrug.

My daughter, who has been on testosterone for 3 years now and whose body is permanently ruined, is thriving because she is surrounded by people who lie to her. It's not just people, it's the institutions that are lying to her, including the medical groups, clinics and professional associations. Almost all of that will come to an end. Her support group will dwindle as the large-scale support structures fall apart.

Now dig this from a detransitioner.

I saw my midwife/OBGYN again recently and I hated it. I’m in pain. It hurts to wipe. It hurts to be intimate. I described my vagina as a guillotine and she suggested I put lidocaine on it. I can rarely get my estrogen cream inside. There are no smaller applicators she could prescribe. She told me to try filling a small tampon with the estrogen cream and applying it that way. Tampons hurt and I can’t. She also tried to prescribe my dilators to break up scar tissue inside from years of severe dryness. I said no. 

I’m only 26. I shouldn’t be in this position. Detrans women who have been fraudulent prescribed testosterone are experiencing menopausal symptoms and painful conditions. There is no real help or relief. There are no ICD codes to bill insurance.

Without the mainstream news media acting as information gatekeepers, stories like that will begin to come out in large numbers. The public rage against what happened to these girls will grow. Any organization that supported these horrors will run for the darkness like the cockroaches they are.

The victims of the sexual degenerates who perpetrated this on us will find themselves almost completely alone and in despair, their bodies ruined by the progressives and their lunatic ideas of social constructs. The Democrat Party and the medical industry will dump them like the useless ballast they are.

Dittos for these kids.

90% of the kids at Frederick Douglass High in Baltimore are chronically absent.

These kids, almost all of whom are black and almost none of whom can read, made a rational decision given what the progressives who run their city told them. Why try if whites are going to oppress them and keep them down no matter what they do?

If black men continue to move rightwards politically, they will be jettisoned, too. Then what happens to them? Like the trans people, they will treated like the useless ballast they will be. That's a bit more of a reach than dumping the trans kids because of the deep-rooted obsession with race that occupies so much of the left's worldview, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to see it start to happen.

Still, political parties exist to win elections and if parts of your coalition are costing more votes than they bring in, it's time to throw them overboard.

Put not your trust in princes, as it were.
