A week after voters delivered crushing defeats to Democrats across the country, worried party leaders in Washington are assuring Americans they are not part of a satanic conspiracy.

Democrats expected the 2020 election to boost their congressional House majority, take the United States Senate and flip several state legislatures, including Texas.

Instead, Republicans maintained their Senate majority, cut deeply into Democrats’ House majority, and defended every state legislature, sending Democrats into despair and blaming their party’s socialist wing for scaring voters.

“We’re not some demonic cult like we’re portrayed to be,” said Alabama Senator Doug Jones, who lost his re-election race to Republican former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville. “I was fighting the same battle that Jaime Harrison was fighting, that Mike Espy was fighting, that Cal Cunningham was fighting, that Steve Bullock was fighting. And Democrats have not been able to fully counter the Republican narrative.”

Harrison, Espy, Cunningham, and Bullock were all losing Democrat senate nominees, with Cunningham and Bullock starting out as strong favorites before watching their bids collapse.

An election in which record-smashing turnout defeated an incumbent president, but delivered resounding wins to Republicans has Democrats worried its affluent socialist wing is alienating a majority of the country.

“I’ve watched the last three elections: 2016, ‘18 and ‘20. We truly should have been in the majority and it didn’t happen,” said West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, who had to distance himself from his party to win re-election. “Whatever our message is, it hasn’t worked. And I would hope that our leadership from the top to bottom understands that. It has not worked. And if we’re going down that path again, we’re in trouble.”

Democrat infighting reached a boiling point in a conference call among House Democrats, in which Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger blamed the losses and her near-defeat on liberal messages of “defund the police.”

“The number one concern in things that people brought to me in my [district] that I barely re-won, was defunding the police,” said Spanberger. “And I’ve heard from colleagues who have said “Oh, it’s the language of the streets. We should respect that. We’re in Congress. We are professionals. We are supposed to talk about things in the way where we mean what we’re talking about. If we don’t mean we should defund the police, we shouldn’t say that.”

“And we need to not ever use the words ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again. Because while people think it doesn’t matter, it does matter. And we lost good members because of it,” said Spanberger.

That drew an angry response from democratic socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who portrays herself as an expert in winning elections despite the fact she only narrowly won her low-turnout 2018 New York City primary race when her opponent blew off fundraising and events and an outside PAC spent $2.7 million supporting her.

“You can’t just tell the Black, Brown, & youth organizers riding in to save us every election to be quiet or not have their reps champion them when they need us,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed on Twitter. “Or wonder why they don’t show up for midterms when they’re scolded for existing. Esp when they’re delivering victories.”

Despite Ocasio-Cortez’s claim minority and youth did not “turn out for the midterms,” youth turnout as a share of the vote was statistically the same in 2010, when Republicans had record wins, as in 2018 when Democrats had record wins. The difference was the issue of “socialism” which drove all other voters against them.

While Ocasio-Cortez claims to be a political expert and guru who can guide her party to massive majorities, she now appears to be looking for an exit strategy as 2020 redistricting gives New York Democrats an excuse to get rid of her. New York is losing a congressional district and Democrats tired of losing are reportedly planning to split up her district and force her to run against a more electable Democrat colleague.

  1. Not Demons , just unspeakable scum bags.

    Lets hope their children suffer from their association with their evil, corrupt, degenerate leaders.

    1. Well put. Sure as f look like a demonic cult to me. Any animal that would kill its young after it is born sure seems like a demon to me.

  2. Not demons? You murder babies, sell their body parts and Antifa are your foot soldiers. Go sell your lie somewhere else.

  3. Well, they are mostly Satanic and and God will punish you. It is a CONSPIRACY so when we are done punishing you, God will get His turn!

    1. I like that AlNewman. GOD will have his way with these demonrats the party name says it all. They go against everything GOD says is good and think evil is good and good is evil. I just hope President Trump p’s attorneys have the proof they need and hope the DOJ will uphold the Oath they all took. To uphold the LAW’s in the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. But you know I think they are mostly corrupt as well. But it’s ok because they know their time is short just as the devil himself then they can all fight over who will be the ruler of hell. Well GOD SAVE AMERICA FROM ALL THE EVIL IN YOUR SONS NAME CHRIST JESUS AMEN

  4. Today the biggest fear in my 73 year life, is the Democratic party and what they believe in!
    I’m more afraid of them than N Korea, Iran, Russia, or China including the corona virus!
    These people are domestic terrorists just like the Taliban used to be before President Trump.

  5. Isn’t it amazing. Republicans won all those seats but lost the presidency? I would say that would be impossible, unless of coarse, the vote machines were rigged and the ballots were compromised.
    Do the Democrats think for one moment it will be an easy road for them to govern? No way, even your own party has to know you cheated, therefore they will not respect and we will not obey you.

    1. I’m having a difficult time wrapping my head around that one, too, Grace. And as you do, I believe the only way that could happen is via the fraudulent voting processes — whether the mail-in ballots for all or the electronic system that appears to have been fixed to favor the insidious Democrats, or combination of both!

  6. When ” Comrade Bernie ” says Free Health Care and Free College are Human Rights….
    I wonder if UNBORN BABIES have Human Rights ?

  7. Um… YES YOU ARE! DemoRats ARE The Party of Satan worshiping, baby killing, organ harvesting, blood drinking, pedophiles, perverts, deviants, and LIARS!!

  8. I’ve voted Democratic all my life except Ronald Reagan but after the actions of the Democrats,MSM,Technocrats,Medical mis dis information…most if all a BIG. FALSE FLAG TO RUIN a 🌎…they seem very scary but in the END the ZOMBIES always find the bunkers 👋

  9. SOUNDS LIKE A “CULT”…..LOOKS LIKE A “CULT”……WALKS LIKE A “CULT”…….{ GUESS IT MUST BE A “DUCK” ? }…..DEMONCRATS = CULT…..{ Most assuredly!}

    AMERICA, IS “DYING A THOUSAND DEATHS”…..DEMOCRAT PARTY IS CORRUPT, & EVIL TO IT’S PARTY PLATFORM “BASEMENT….ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP FLOOR”! INCLUDING THE SO CALLED PARTY LEADERSHIP! { “AIN’T ANYTHING LIKE WHAT IT USED TO BE”}……

    What a very sad day for our Republic, & our “battered”, & terminal democracy!

  10. So Spanberger is telling ALL Democrat candidates LIE until you get elected. And they wonder why they were defeated, Americans are starting to realize that all they do is LIE.

  11. They SECURED the Election, just look what the definition of “secure” is (fixed). Biden, or Obiden the puppet I call O’Biden, is a rehearsed robotic politician. That’s exactly why Socialists, Progressives in Congress are already prompting Biden to follow their Communist ways(agendas).
    Biden already stated that his Party has the most successful Voter Fraud Organization “in the history of the United States, and now they’re bragging they secured the election.

  12. This is not factual, all Democrats are part of a cult, They encourage the killing of babies, through abortion. They even support late term abortion which is the most demonic, thing they have done. Liar liar you pants are on fire.

  13. Pretty Sad when a Skinny Bartender can try and tell the American people how to run America she needs to be in Jail and telling the Warden how to run the prisons

  14. Not a cult ? Wow ! Could have fooled me . All I see from Democrats is , let’s give this away free , let’s let all these illegals into the country we can give them this or that . Lets make deals with nations who’s sole goal is to destroy us . Lets Raise Taxes ! We’ll do it only on the rich . But we can raise everybodies when they aren’t looking .
    Democrats are not a cult huh ? Guess that’s what Hitler ,
    Stalin , and Lenin before him said too . Perhaps they are right , they aren’t a cult . They’re a plague and Disease !
