The thing about the boy who cried wolf is that there really was a wolf, and if the villagers were so concerned that the boy was incompetent to watch the sheep because of his false alarms, they should have replaced him. We may be getting the moral of this story all wrong. Mostly you are correct. And even if when all the votes are counted, Harris ends up winning the popular vote by a narrow margin, still ~50% of voters chose Trump and his authoritarianism, eyes wide open.
Well, that's an interesting analogy to run with. In this analogy, the shepherd boy is the Democrats and, well: the voters DID just decide to replace them. I'm not going to run with this TOO far, as there were a lot of factors behind this election. But I think it's fair to say that voters didn't see Dems as responsible guardians of the American Way, as they had defined themselves. Voters didn't think they had the credibility to paint Trump as a threat to democracy, and themselves as its reliable defender. And so, they were replaced. In that sense, maybe the story has already played out.
"As they had defined themselves" is an interesting way to put it because the way they define themselves is contrary to the basic principles of the Constituion and our founding documents. In fact, in other forums, MAGA has told me that our founding documents are irrelevant.Anyway at this point, even though Trump has gained 2,000,000 votes since election night due to those mail-in ballots he hates so much, his lead as dropped to 50.2% and when all is said and done, he may well have lost the popular vote yet again.
