A fascinating shift is occurring as liberals grapple with recent political developments, manifesting in various ways – from extreme emotional outbursts to more thoughtful analysis.

Michael Douglas, an Academy Award recipient, recently offered a particularly noteworthy perspective. During an appearance on Bill Maher’s Real Time, the Hollywood veteran made a striking admission about the current political landscape.

Breitbart reported:
“‘Wednesday morning, I was just so pissed at this razor thin race, right? It was going to be so close, you know, with all these polls — and it’s a wipeout’, Douglas said, adding that he later spent the day playing golf.”

The actor identified economic issues as the Democrats’ downfall. “‘In 40 years, the stock market has increased 5,000 percent and real earning wages have increased 14 percent’, Douglas said, later adding that ordinary Americans ‘are going week to week with the inflation, it is killing them’.

‘And I think we really underestimated it, and the very fact now that we could talk about Republicans as being the people, the party for the people, and that we have this elitist party on the left, Democrats, is wild’.”

This admission carries particular weight given Douglas’s unwavering Democratic loyalty. Just months earlier, during an appearance on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, he had defended President Biden’s capabilities, stating: “‘Well, I think that I walk a little similar to him [Biden]. And the people that I’ve talked to and everybody that I have say he’s sharp as a tack. He’s fine’.”

His political commitment was further demonstrated through his co-hosting of a Biden fundraiser with his spouse Catherine Zeta-Jones, where they contributed $100,000 to the campaign.
