Vice President Kamala Harris has been vanquished thanks to President-elect Donald Trump‘s stunning comeback victory. Trump made mincemeat of the blue wall while winning seemingly every swing state as he blew past the threshold of 270 electoral votes. When you consider that Republicans also won back control of the Senate and are on the edge of winning control of the House of Representatives, Nov. 5 was a moment of abject humiliation for the Democratic Party.

Unsurprisingly, the immediate response among the Left was a combination of unhinged mourning, as if the election of either Trump or Harris should ever warrant tears of joy or anguish from grown adults, and childish blame games, most of which were focused on the unquestionable racism and sexism that supposedly drove so many people, including women and non-white voters, to cast their vote for the fascist Trump.
