Shock among self-proclaimed progressives has devolved into anger. Rage has fueled a full- time tantrum: a competition among distraught student bodies, Hollywood heavyweights, community organizers, pop stars, sanctuary-city pols, froth-flecked pundits, smoldering social media addicts, and rabble-rousers from Black Lives Matter to Antifa (a fascist projection outfit). All vie to be the most outraged, the most rabidly anti-Trump.

Let them all fume, piss, and moan.
They are all worthless fools.

You really start to see how much people hate this country and way of life yet owe thier fortune, success and freedom to this very country. If this isn’t mental illness what is?

Indeed. I’m not quite old enough to remember this sort of thing about Nixon. Certainly the Left hated Nixon. The Left worked for many years to take Nixon down. There was no ambivalence there.
But I am not sure there was quite this type of vitriol.
“He stole the election.”
“He’s working with our enemies.”
“He’s crazy.”
“He’s unfit.”
“He has dementia.”
“He’s Hitler.”
The hatred of Trump is not rational at all. I’m not sure any other President has ever been hated quite so much for so little actual reason.

And somehow were supposed to care about all this? The angst? The anger? Dramatic to be sure, but full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Politics is a scam and were suckers for playing.

...All vie to be the most outraged, the most rabidly anti-Trump. So says one of the ORIGINAL, most rabid anti-Trumper's. Andy is waxing poetic.
A little too little too late, for Andy to try and jump aboard the 'look at that Trump hate!' bandwagon.

The real truth is that they don’t want anyone else to succeed. They want to live in their own enclave and enjoy the endless cocktail parties and engagements while the rest of us are huddled around burning 55-gallon drums to stay warm and looking up at them admiringly and begging for handouts. That’s why they’re pissed at Trump.

They are all worthless fools. To me they're a seething mob, with experienced and powerful leadership, such as mobs may have. So I ain't laughin'.

Idiot leftists should be celebrating the fact that Pres. Trump is accomplishing some good for the country.

The answer is to dry up the govt. loan guarantees to bigger colleges, let them go to Jr. colleges.

Face it, it is really hard for the elites to enjoy living a life of luxury and ease when the vast unwashed masses live almost as well. Nope, true privilege can only be enjoyed when the masses are barely surviving on scraps.
