Many progressives are apoplectic. I mean, walking around in tears, bemoaning the end of civilization, that sort of thing. Some are out in the streets, burning Trump effigies as is done in Iran and other primitive 3rd world regions. Some are openly tweeting for "presidential assassination".
Unbelievable. It's good the election had this outcome, just to expose the stupidity, shallowness, and treachery of the liberal mind.
In the latest episode of his web show "The Resistance", Keith Olbermann declared progressives will meet every action of Donald Trump's administration with protests. Olbermann claims that giving Trump a chance to govern is the same as saying "give fascism a chance."
"We do not have time for the White House edition of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ starring President-elect Pussy Grabber. Give him a chance because we’re all supposed to pretend this is a normal man and that was a normal election because we’re all supposed to forget that the Russians interfered with the election and the involvement of the FBI at minimum affected the outcome.
"Because we’re all going to follow The Washington Post and call them populists instead of white supremacists -- even though they are white supremacists. Give him a chance -- all we are saying is give fascism a chance. Who knows, it might not be as bad as we think. It might not be a bottomless pit.
"This is not my president. And judging by the margin by which Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, this is not America's president either.
"And so we will resist. Each statement of substance or policy will be met with one of resistance. Each action and event staged by this man, who lost the popular vote, will be met with protest.
"Each politician who he fools with charm from one of his other personalities --from the Banana Republicans already showing up to lick his boots to the Demcrats like this fat-head Joe Manchin-- will be rejected by that resistance," Olbermann said.
During the Obama Administration's new progressive era, citizens and business somehow became the enemies of our federal government, which launched attacks on us and our rights verbally, legally, and in regulation. The net effect of this was to concentrate power and wealth in Washington and among the smug liberal elites who are certain they know what is best for all of us and that, in our ignorance, we should be forced to comply.
This is expressly not the intent of our limited federal government.
The voters rejected this agenda by voting for the Great Disruptor, Donald Trump. In truth, they would have done it sooner if not stymied by the Progressive narrative that voting against Obama was "racist." Okay, progressives, you got away with that one, but no more.
It's time for a major housecleaning and downsizing in Washington. Let's start today.
America does not want to be ruled by a smug, know-it-all progressive elite that seizes control of the federal government to force us to align with their false leftist narratives.
If Democrats want to be relevant again, they should try using the actual methods of science--assess what works and why, and advocate for more of it--instead of trying to twist and distort isolated facts to fit a predetermined ideological narrative. Progressive economics do not work. They have never worked.
Every twenty or thirty years, Americans forget how disastrous progressive governance is and allow themselves to be manipulated into electing radical leftists to office--Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama most recently.
Since progressive policies would never be accepted at face value, leftists are obliged to lie to us, to manipulate the media, and to use the force of the federal government to coerce compliance. Control over the mechanisms of government and a compliant media confuse Progressives into thinking that they are getting away with it.
The 2016 elections reminded them that the American people, whom they disparage and observe like zoo animals, are not stupid. Progressive government has been turned out of power for the next 20 or 30 years. Good riddance.
This leaves progressives threadbare and empty of ideas. They never had new ideas anyway, just tired old ones that didn't work. May they return to the center, so that we again have two parties that care about all Americans.
Democrats have no power. They will have to run in two years on the basis of what they have done in a Trump Presidency. They have two choices: obstruct, or be constructive.
They can say what they want to about working with Trump, but they're going to have a hard time accommodating themselves to what that means. They have spent the last 8 years running roughshod over the norms of governance, and Republicans--whom they see as worse enemies than Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
It says here that they will obstruct, complain, demonize, whine, criticize, hector, and try to manipulate the media and electorate to go along.
