Hollis: Post-Mortem

Townhall via Daily Kos via google via nicedoggie.net ( comment)

Wow, what a long list of links just to get to this lady!  Anyway, if you trace the links above, you see how I found it.  Never read Hollis before.

As for the content of it, whatever.  As for the content of Daily Kos, whatever.  I think I had my take on it, for what it is worth.

Hollis' essay was in 11 parts, with a short comment added:

1. We are outnumbered--- True, but they practice identity politics, we talk ideas, sort of.
2. It wasn’t the candidate(s)--- False, Romney was wrong.  Most Republicans didn't trust him.
3. It’s the culture, stupid.---True.  They've got the commanding heights of the culture.  See Gramscii
4. America has become a nation of adolescents---Oh, hell yeah.
5. Yes, there is apparently a Vagina Vote---True.  Uncle Sam is their Sugar Daddy.
6. It’s not about giving up on “social issues”---True, they'd better not give up.
7. Obama does not have a mandate. And he does not need one---False, we won the House.
8. The CorruptMedia is the enemy---Right on, right on, right on.
9. Small business and entrepreneurs will be hurt the worst---True, but it's about control.
10. America is more polarized than ever; and this time it’s personal---Not personal, it's business.
11. It’s possible that America just has to hit rock bottom---No, "It's darkest before it goes pitch black"  Things won't get better, they'll just keep getting worse until there is a death of some kind.

In short, a lot of people like this lady are in denial.  They think that Romney was really, really good.  But he wasn't.  They think he should have won, so it was really somebody's else's fault, like the media and low info voters.  They think we're outnumbered.  You're always outnumbered.  So is the left.  Romney failed to connect with the rest.  etc. etc. etc.

Like I said, whatever.
