Below is my column in The Hill on how some Democrats are joining a diaspora of the disgruntled and despondent in leaving the country or finding safe spaces away from opposing viewpoints. It appears that nothing succeeds like secession when you lose an election.
Here is the column:
Democrats who campaigned on the need for “joy” and “saving democracy” are strikingly unjoyful about the results of the democratic process in 2024.
Before the election, slips like the one of President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” were immediately denied or deflected. But once voters had given the Republicans control of both houses of Congress, the popular vote and the White House, leading Democratic figures and celebrities dropped all pretense of civility. They are now being open about their contempt for voters, calling them “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents.
After calling for Americans to come together for Kamala Harris, MSNBC’s Joy Reid sent out a heart-warming holiday message to those who voted for the GOP to “make your own dinner, MAGA. Make your own sandwiches, wipe your own tears.”
Those not wallowing in Reid’s anger are increasingly voicing themes of isolation, insurrection and secession.
For years, the contempt for Trump voters has been open and obvious in much of the media. The “Let’s Go Brandon” movement captured the lunacy of the press and politicians simply denying what citizens could see, hear and experience for themselves.
When asked for answers on issues like the economy and immigration, Harris paraded an army of celebrities to tell the public how to vote — shiny objects that they thought would be enough for shallow American voters.
They were wrong. Now that the public has made its choice, leading figures are condemning the majority of voters as a mix of misogynists, self-haters and fascists. Whoopi Goldberg, 69, even joined the “4B” sex strike against men. Others seem to be morphing into exactly what they said Trump would become as president: isolationist and insurrectionist.
Some have responded to the losses by retreating further into echo chambers protected from opposing views. Many dumped X in favor of BlueSky, a new social media safe space for liberals who fear being triggered by opposing views. Notably, censorship advocates such as Nina Jankowisz have fled to BlueSky.
The site is portrayed as a return to the good old days when liberals controlled all of the social media and maintained a massive censorship and blacklisting system over political discourse.
New York Times tech reporter Kevin Roose wrote a column last week that offered the familiar “I can breathe again” account: “After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.”
It is the ultimate irony. This election shocked many on the left precisely because they were writing and commenting on each other within their hardened media and political silos. They are unlikely to improve themselves by receding further into that safe space to rave about the “f—ing morons” who make up the majority of America.
Other Democratic politicians have moved beyond the chest-pounding of leaders like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) to pledges of more direct obstruction or inflammatory rhetoric.
Denver mayor Mike Johnson (D) declared that he was preparing the Mile-High City for its “Tiananmen Square moment” to fight the federal government in any attempt to deport unlawful migrants. Johnson warned that he would have not only Denver police “stationed at the county line to keep [ICE] out” but also “50,000 Denverites.”
Not long ago, Democrats were calling similar protests an “insurrection.” Johnson later walked back his remarks but insisted that his city would fight federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws.
Rather than such trench warfare, most Democratic governors and mayors are simply pledging not to cooperate with federal authorities, which is a lawful choice. The concern, however, is how others will react to the overheated rhetoric for months that this will be “our last election” and that Trump is the new Hitler.
Such rage rhetoric gives people license to say and do things they would not ordinarily say or do. Leaders calling on citizens to “fight” ICE and the “fascists” can easily inspire violence, as we have seen in past years. Indeed, that was the very premise of the criminal case against Trump supported by many of these same leaders, alleging that his calls to “fight” against certification was a call for insurrection.
Some liberals are very publicly fleeing the country. Sharon Stone (who called American voters “uneducated”) is reportedly off to Canada. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are off to a mansion in Cotswolds in England. Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is also reportedly exploring a departure from the country after his millions of dollars failed to produce a victory for Kamala Harris.
Some, however, want to take part of the country with them. New York State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Upper East Side) has received praise for her call for New York to join Canada. Where Alexandre Dumas believed that ‘Nothing succeeds like success,” some believe that, after losing an election, nothing succeeds quite like secession.
Krueger previously sought to block Trump from the ballot in the name of protecting democracy. That would have barred the 45 percent of New Yorkers who voted for the president-elect, but those voters would find themselves either Canadians or refugees under her proposal.
Krueger suggested that secession simply makes sense when the majority of the country disagrees with you. She believes New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont could form a new Canadian province.
“I got back some unofficial responses and heard this is probably sellable in Ottawa,” she said. “And look, if we were Europe, in the length of time we’ve been a nation, for Canada, if we were European countries, our borders would have moved around 20 times by now, right?”
She explained that this is all just “thinking outside of the box.” The box that she and other liberals find themselves in is called “democracy,” and they don’t like it.
Just for the record, the last time people thought “outside the box” and seceded, we got a war with roughly 700,000 people killed.
Yet, assuming New Yorkers can get used to milk in a bag and cheese curds as a snack, there may be an obvious appeal for the left in the True North. Formerly “strong and free,” Canada has become a nightmare for free speech with the ever-expanding criminalization of political speech. One professor, who said that Trump’s plans to combat censorship has left many frightened, said that if free speech protections are restored, “I will be on a plane [out of America].”
For New York Times reporters and officials alike, they will be able to “breathe again” in the controlled, regulated air of censorship countries like Canada.
The only challenge for our displaced and disgruntled diaspora will be that Canadians tend to be nice.

“. . . insisted that his city would fight federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws.” (JT)
Democrat mayors and governors to their own citizens:
Those who riot, loot, burn our cities are welcome. As long as the lawlessness is “mostly peaceful” and done in the name of “racial justice.” (Oh, and you can’t use a gun to defend yourself.)
Federal law enforcement hunting criminals are not welcome.
As usual, D’s have the purpose of government exactly backwards.
Sharon Stone: “My country is in its adolescence.” Its voters are “ignorant and arrogant.”
Whereas spreading your legs for the camera makes you mature, cultured, dignified?!
Thats what washed-up hollywood idiots do to get attention. A failed career always ends that way.
TRUMP STILL SUCKS
The Democrats are down, but they are not out. If they were just a political party, they could do some reflecting, and dump their bad ideas, like castrating kids, and evolve. But they are not just a political party. They are the embodiment of The Establishment, the Deep State, the Powers That Be, the rich folks, the Inquisition, the Mayan Priests cutting out the hearts of human sacrifices. What J H Kunstler calls the Blob.
So they will do what Blobs always do, try to eat everything. When I was a kid, Sgt. Nick Fury made the jump from being a soldier, to being the head of SHIELD. Their chief enemy was HYDRA – cut off one limb, and two will grow in its place, Hydra.

That is the Democrats, and they are sick, evil, twisted people on the inside, and they will never go gentle into that good night.
I only hope that what the crazy deep-staters and swamp folks fear is what will actually happen. We need DC put in its place; a place that is controlled by the American people instead of a place that rules the American people through power, fear and lies.
Well, Hunter Biden is now in a “safe space” – safe, at least, from prosecution for his past felonies. After telling ABC News during his aborted 2024 Presidential campaign that he would not pardon his son, Biden unburdened himself of his past yesterday and did just that. Surprised? Hardly. Nearly all politicians are lying sacks, and in recent memory, the Democrats lie more flagrantly than Republicans. Here is an interesting take on Biden the Younger from his landlord in California.
Sequoia’s Shaun Maguire: “Absolute Sh1t Bag” Hunter Biden Owes His (Maguire’s) Family $300k In Back Rent
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sequoias-shaun-maguire-claims-absolute-shit-bag-hunter-biden-owes-his-family-300k-back
“Yup. True story. Hunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn’t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay w/ art made from his own feces.”
Class act, that Biden family.
I was a ghost-writer in mags like BARRONs, Forbes, Fortune. I gave words to many a senior vice president. This articles is better than anything I could pen. My very successful son (age 29) said one of his friends and no one under 50 watches MSNBC or CNN or even Fox. He said they don’t care about Jennifer Garner or Beyoncé. But they are interested in tech and Musk. Well done Prof Turley. Free coffee from me at Starbucks should we ever meet.
My response to my brother in law who announced after the election that he was moving his family to Ireland was to offer any needed help in packing.
@Vincente
Ireland, or North Ireland? If it isn’t North, he might not be too happy there, either, they tend to be salt of the earth people who believe in freedom. North Ireland, on the other hand, has a lot more in common with Britain.
We won. Now we have to govern….smartly….wisely….effectively. That’s going to take focussing like a laser on some very gnarly, complex problems — some showcased during the campaign (enforceable immigration policy, inflation and the unsoundness of the $US, the retreat from educational excellence) — and some not even discussed (daily ransomware attacks on US entities by foreign criminals, the abandonment of traditional marriage by young adults, the slow poisoning of our food and water with organic chemicals and micro-plastics, youth addiction to trash social media and video games).
I don’t understand the fixation with the wailing sobs of the losers in this election. Who cares who is moving to Canada?
There is important mental work to be done. Using these pages to gloat on the win by reveling in the misery of the outgoing powers is not exactly stepping up to the job.
A functional human being can gloat and chew gum at the same time🤣
I’ve always liked this quote, in spite of the fact that the list is not comprehensive.
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
–Robert A. Heinlein
Does that describe the lefty weaklings crying about the election and threatening to leave the US? 🤣
“The Past Through Tomorrow”,
Turley is diving into how Democrats are upset as much as he can before he will have to deal with the uncomfortable task of calling out Trump’s policies when they go too far, and they will. Before long, there won’t be many reasons to blame the left for any failures from Trump’s upcoming administration, but I suspect he will find some, he will have to if he wants to stay in MAGA’s good side.

George is here to insult and lie about his host for the same reason as Dennis McIntyre.
It’s only way he can get sexual gratification and attention (outside of looking in the bathroom mirror) before starting another session of day drinking and drug abuse.
Each of them has enough built in stupidity to equip two Marxist Useful Idiots. If they pooled their welfare checks they could buy enough webspace to run their own Trump Hate Blog.
@pbinca: “We won. Now we have to govern….smartly….wisely….effectively.”
Had a change of heart since before the election, have you? No more of what you called “deceitful infowarfare” a few weeks ago?
The question is whether he’s (Trump) be willing to put aside his double-standard, and have to stop waging his own deceitful infowarfare (e.g., his big lie).
“. . . their contempt for voters, calling them ‘f—-ing morons’ and ‘arrogant, ignorant’ adolescents.”
Which is how their candidate’s campaign treated voters. And which is a major reason they got skunked.
Next time, treat voters with respect.
Appeal to their minds — with ideas, arguments, clearly articulated policies. Stop with the collectivist racial guilt (Obama). Stop the fear-mongering (“the end of democracy”). Find a candidate whose first language is English, and who doesn’t mindlessly repeat empty slogans (“I’m from a middle-class family”) like a child’s wind-up toy.
“Next time, treat voters with respect. ”
Noooo. I’m happy those a-holes lost. Please don’t give them any good advice. Not much risk they would take it, but considering the likely consequences of a Democrat resurgence, even that is too great. Let them mindlessly continue their hapless fault finding caravan into oblivion.
“But once voters had given the Republicans control of both houses of Congress, the popular vote and the White House, leading Democratic figures and celebrities dropped all pretense of civility. They are now being open about their contempt for voters, calling them “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents.”
DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND; THE LEFT HATES YOU AND WANTS YOU DEAD.

Bernie Sanders had to admit that he likes the concept of DOGE. He teeeted, “Elon Musk is right.
The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions.
Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.
That must change.”
Voters had their say. They despise incompetence.
Don’t let Bernie fool you, he only wants to gut the military, any other agency will be sacrosanct to him.
I won’t. He is a communist to the core. It is interesting that even he has to admit that the current administration is incompetent and corrupt.
It would be interesting to hear Bernie’s take on Hunter’s pardon and the anticipated presidential pardon of the president’s brother Jim, possibly other Biden family members, and possibly the president himself.
Democrats appear to believe that Democracy ™ is top-down: the voters are expected to believe and support what they tell them to believe and support and vote accordingly. Conflicting viewpoints must be silenced, especially those that come from within the flock. Since their primary appeal is to the less-sophisticated segments of society, including shallow and preening celebrities, this often succeeds. But not this time. They should be encouraged to depart, with the proviso that they won’t be allowed to return; although I imagine that once they become aware that they will have tax liabilities from the country of their origin as well as their new-found countries, their decision will lose its sheen.
According to Leftists, it doesn’t count as “democracy” unless the correct result is obtained.
S@@rew your “democracy”.

They are worse than petulant children, and I am happy they are broadcasting their privilege, arrogance, and insularity for everyone to see. That these folks think they are the bright ones in possession of wisdom – well, let’s add narcissism to the mix, too.
The modern left has spent the past 16 or so years proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are not well, petty, and do not belong anywhere near any capacity in which they are making decisions for anyone. I cannot imagine such a myopic existence. Oh, wait, I can: they forced us all to live it in 2020. That alone likely sealed their fate for at least a generation.
If they would all like to relocate to one of these socialist utopias on the verge of collapse, America grants them the freedom to do so. I suspect though, once we are again basking in prosperity, they will attempt to laugh it off, if not outright bizarrely claim credit. But it’s too late, they can’t walk back their behavior, particularly of the past four years, and stating they simply didn’t deceive people well enough to enact their agenda is both hysterical and sad, and telling.
The modern left has gone from being a list cause to a hopeless one.

Corrupt DEMS, MSM, many educators show their true colors, ani Democracy, they hat it, for they lost and Trump won with former Dem voters. If Trump succeeds, the DEMS will be out of power for a long time, unless they decide to expel the Left Wing Woke Radicals and return to the center with new leadership, get rid of the Clintons, Pelosi, Durbin, Biden, Obama etc. As respects to Bernie Sanders crowd, let them form their own party, very radical. Lets see what the public does, in DEM controlled cities and states, when the rest of the country deports the illegals and the criminals that were allowed in, I suggest that many of these Mayors will turn or be thrown out of office harboring criminals and illegals and excessive debt for housing such.
When Trump was elected many across the Globe celebrated and the Globalist panic. I saw a clip of a Greek News Caster, when she announced Trump one, get up and danced to YMCA. That is telling. All across the Globe YMCA Dance was performed by the people not the Globalist leaders or Corrupt DEMS
Dear Mr. Turley, the Left is acting like a collective of spoiled brats, who after many years of lying about Mr. Trump, the economy, electric cars, the environment, etc, were called into account on November 5, 2024 with a gigantic whipping at the polls. I would suggest they leave and be quick about it. However, like most spoiled kids, they only enjoy the drama they have created, and many won’t go. I will suggest Cuba, Russia and China as a few places the Left should consider moving to. How about North Korea?
I suggest that those protesting in the streets against America and Israel move to Iran. Let the gays and women for Gaza bask in the glow of Gazan, Iranian, Islamic enlightenment.
There is a perk to being gay in Muslim countries! Gays get to fly free! (From the roof of the building to the ground below.)
Turley often appears to enjoy criticizing Democrats for expressing their views, but he conveniently overlooks the reality that Republicans find themselves just as entrenched in their echo chambers, often voicing complaints and grievances. For years, individuals on the right have engaged in behaviors quite similar to those he mockingly attributes to the left. Some have even suggested extreme concepts like “national divorce” or sought refuge in their so-called ‘sandbagged bunkers,’ all while invoking their Second Amendment rights out of perceived threats from issues such as same-sex marriage or men in drag reading to children in libraries. While it’s true that there are peculiar individuals on both sides of the political spectrum, Turley attempts to portray Trump supporters as the rational contingent. However, they often mirror the eccentricities found among their leftist counterparts. The distinction tends to lie in the authoritarian tendencies that many on the right exhibit, coupled with their propensity for hypocrisy.
Consider the example of Texas Attorney General Paxton, who has been overtly infringing on the free speech rights of medical professionals by suggesting that the public need not disclose their immigration status on medical forms at hospitals. Paxton has threatened hospitals with repercussions if they allow their doctors to inform patients about their rights under the law. While undocumented immigrants are not legally required to answer that question, Texas hospitals are still mandated to include it on their forms. The most alarming aspect of this situation is that threatening to defund hospitals simply because a handful of doctors provide truthful information about patients’ legal rights starkly contradicts the principles outlined in the First Amendment.
In another twist, recent news reveals that President Biden has granted his son an unusually broad pardon. This development is likely to irritate Trump, potentially prompting him to announce an even larger pardon for the Jan. 6 rioters, aiming to outshine Biden. It will be intriguing to see how Turley interprets the Hunter Biden pardon—whether he will contrive justifications or candidly acknowledge that the president possesses the authority to issue such a sweeping pardon.
George, name ONE social media site where leftist speech (or thought) is banned. Now remember Twitter pre-Musk, FB now and before, Bluesky etc etc.
Name one time where a liberal/progressive/Democrat was shouted out of a college speech.
Name one time where conservatives tried to organize a boycott of a media outlet or person. E.G. Imagine someone on the right who is as bombastic, racist and sexist as Joy Reid trying to sell her BS on a cable network.
Name one time when a leftist columnist/opinion writer cause a revolt in a newsroom the way that SENATOR Tom Cotton’s op-ed piece did at the NY Times. Or the way that a NON-endorsement wrecked the LA Times and the WAPO.
Name one time that a Republican/conservative government tried to create an actual AGENCY for the purpose of censoring speech the way that Biden did with Scary Poppins.
Please don’t bring up FLorida stripping out lewd books from kindergartens or stopping insane green haired cat ladies preaching to children about their gender.
“Please don’t bring up Florida cutting lewd books from kindergartens or stopping those wild green-haired cat ladies from talking to kids about gender.”
Why not? It’s still censorship. What they consider “lewd” usually comes down to just one line or passage from books that aren’t even available in schools. Drag queens reading to kids at libraries are just exercising their free speech. The parents who are cool with it are the ones letting their kids join in, while it’s that one right-wing parent who’s against it that tries to shut it down for everyone else. So yeah, those issues definitely matter. Dismissing them just because you don’t think it’s a big deal is a weak excuse.
“George, name ONE social media site where leftist speech (or thought) is banned. And remember Twitter before Musk, FB now and before, Bluesky, etc.”
“Banned” is a crafty word, like suspension or privilege revocation, or ghost censorship, you know? All these platforms have done that to leftists at some point. You didn’t know that? You’ve been living in your own little bubble for too long to see it. Just because the spotlight is on the right doesn’t mean leftists don’t face the same issues. It’s just that the right tends to complain more. That’s basically the only difference.
“Seriously? There are tons of examples online and in the media. A lot of right-wing folks have been calling for boycotts against companies like MSN, CNN, Bud Light, and even some well-known transgender personalities. You can find names like Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens involved in this too. Just a quick search will show you loads of instances.
And about creating an agency for censoring speech like Biden’s ‘Scary Poppins’ thing—look at places like Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas. They’ve used their attorney generals or local boards to shut down speech or opinions they don’t agree with, even threatening punishments for activities that are protected by the First Amendment. Just this past weekend, Texas threatened hospitals because a doctor said undocumented immigrants don’t have to disclose their status. Plus, Texas has made laws to stop social media from kicking off politicians who break their rules—forcing platforms to carry their speech, which actually violates social media’s free speech rights.
“Why not? It’s still censorship. What they consider “lewd” usually comes down to just one line or passage from books that aren’t even available in schools. “
George Svelaz, you have a right to think and say the ignorant things that come from your computer, but your desire to expose five-year-old children to adult sexual activities reminds us that you are a pervert who should never be permitted near children.
S. Meyer is always a good laugh. No one wants to throw five-year-olds into adult stuff. Moms for Liberty are really stretching things by quoting random lines from books that aren’t even on the shelves, making it seem like there’s a huge issue when really, a single line from middle or high school books isn’t the same as porn. They often just repeat what they find without bothering to read the whole book. If parents don’t want their kids checking out books with controversial topics or “risky” ideas, they can just talk to their kids or tell the librarians not to let them borrow those books. Most of the books they claim are harmful are not in elementary school libraries, but that doesn’t stop them from falsely claiming them. Considering how uptight some conservatives and right-wing parents can be, it’s no shock they want to control what everyone else reads, too.
“Paxton has threatened hospitals with repercussions if they allow their doctors ”
Doofus, America, and Texas are leaders in humanitarian efforts. America and Texas allow more immigration than any other nation in the world. Again, we provide humanitarian and foreign aid in greater amounts than any other country in the world. All of this money is paid for by the AMERICAN taxpayer. You want to make yourself feel good on another person’s dime. You don’t care about America or Americans, just your inflated ego.
Read the room. 75% of Americans have had enough of your Marxism. Perhaps you would be more comfortable in Venezuela. Or Canada, they seem to be falling in love with Marxism.
1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment. “shall not”. SAY WHEN
Leaving the Border wide open was the ultimate lawlessness!
We the People united welcome an Peace and Prosperity.

The only way George The Curious Marxist Monkey can find any meaning in his otherwise empty and meaningless life is to come here every day to troll, insult and lie to his host Professor Turley with the deuces he drops here with that extra anus he has in the middle of his face.
Corrupt politicians, educators and msm are the prime movers of the mental instability of Americans. Americans today are unable to separate truth from lies and are incapable of dealing with the truth. The following is what they seem to be experiencing?
“Mass psychosis, also referred to as mass psychogenic illness (MPI) or mass sociogenic illness (MSI), is generally defined as a social phenomenon in which individuals experience severe collective distress caused by delusions or false beliefs. These irrational behaviors or beliefs often spread rapidly within the group, frequently creating mass outbreaks of fear and anxiety.”
Run better candidates? They are beyond redemption. Evil never dies.
The lesson learned over the last 8 yaers is that dems are beyond saving.
Drive them out of the USA. Send them to Brazil, Venuzela, Canada, England, Gaza by the plane load.
The compromise is not to secede…just sell out, pack up, and have an Oregon Trail moment….but go to Vancouver or Kamloops or Whitehorse.
I would bet you the Trump CBP would hold the gate up for you to leave!
The small problem is even the Canadians have a limit to “nice” and do not want our embittered and not so nice Lefties.
“The compromise is not to secede…just sell out, pack up, and have an Oregon Trail moment….but go to Vancouver or Kamloops or Whitehorse.”
The idea that they should just pack up and go to Canada is amusing to anyone who knows anything at all about Canada, versus believing that Trudeau and his bum buddy Singh are representative of Canada.
First, unlike here through the continuation of the Obama/Harris/Biden Great Leap Forward towards demographic destiny, Canada has never had any internal acceptance of ignoring immigration law. In general, Canada STILL enforces their immigration laws. And other laws – like hiring the equivalent of those who are Illegal Aliens here being a crime to be prosecuted. They have their problems with Trudeau serving as the son Obama never had, but the ‘defund the police’ Bull Schiff has never been accepted up there.
Second, a criminal record will still get you turned around at the Canadian border. Just as white Canadians with criminal records for impaired driving or possession of marijuana get turned around at the American border.
Third, while Vancouver is somewhat socialist like our coastal cities like Seattle and San Francisco, the majority of the rest of that province in places like Kamloops or Whitehorse are conservative minded, pro gun people who elect conservative politicians provincially and federally.
Fleeing Democrat angry Marxists who manage to get past Canada’s Border Security Agency are not going to find a welcoming safe space in Canadian towns and cities like that.
Perhaps England, the country of Do It Yourself Dentistry might be a safer choice of country to attempt to flee to – they seem to be providing a safe space against gun ownership.
The only “democracy” they wanted to save was the Democrat party.
The system still works – maybe they should rethink policies and run better candidates. But hey, they are saying it’s AOC in 28.
AOC in 2028 would be a guaranteed Republican win.
