The Left are not coping well with the fact Donald Trump is now President again. Not at all. In some sense, this writer gets it: they were told Kamala Harris was a sure thing, she had all the momentum, the polls showed her ahead, etc.
But the reality was, she was never going to win.
Doesn’t stop them from engaging in some major wishcasting, though.
Like The New Yorker, who posted about the issue that would’ve been had Kamala won:
“Kamala,” by Kadir Nelson, would have been the cover of the November 18, 2024, issue of The New Yorker, had Kamala Harris had won the election. Read about the cover that never was: https://t.co/GlOlEFKmR8 pic.twitter.com/VaQqfPMcSm

First of all, that’s completely unflattering, but whatever.
The portrait above, “Kamala,” painted by Kadir Nelson, would have been the cover of the November 18, 2024, issue of The New Yorker—that is, if Kamala Harris had won the election on November 5th. Instead, late that evening, when it became clear that the vote was going the other way, it was swapped out for a silhouette of soon-to-be President Donald Trump, drawn quickly by Barry Blitt (who is also the artist behind the January 20, 2025, cover about the Inauguration).
Whoops.

“Wheels” if she had them she would be a wagon.

Exactly.
Her loss was so brat

So brat.
You should be well beyond the denial phase of grief at this point.

They are not beyond the denial phase.
Oh well. She’s gone.

Pretty much sums it up.
Here’s the cover they used instead: “Back with a Vengeance,” by Barry Blitt. https://t.co/dJUZSvmEVM pic.twitter.com/mpr9uVPqdo

The level of confidence major publications had going into the election is remarkable. https://t.co/JLZ4OaWatm pic.twitter.com/b9IGQxTlAo

Because they lived in bubbles where everyone and everything said she was going to win.
Add this visual onanism to the pile of reasons I’m so glad Donald Trump won the election again. https://t.co/UQ3cdSsCEH

So glad.
Everyone point and laugh at this self-indulgent tripe that never was. https://t.co/TiRbcnhezL
