The left is trying to come to grips with its utter rejection, and its response to Donald Trump will be to fall back on an endless series of freakoutrages – hyperbolic, unhinged, hack media-fueled spasms of faux moral panic every time he dares do anything.
Appoint someone to a job? Freak out – it’s an outrage!
Go to dinner? Freak out – it’s an outrage!
Actually keep promises made to the voters? Freak out – it’s an outrage!
But it isn’t going to work. Not anymore. Not with the form of the Destructor Hillary and the rest of super smart Team Smugfail chose. Freakoutrage fatigue is in effect. You can cry Wolf Blitzer all day long and nobody cares.
It’s important to understand why liberals are so angry and so scared. They are angry because they believe they have a moral right to command us, apparently bestowed by Gaia or #Science or having gone to Yale, and we are irredeemably deplorable for not submitting to their benevolent dictatorship.
They are scared because they fear we will wage the same kind of campaign of petty (and not so petty) oppression, intimidation, and bullying that they intended to wage upon us.
And their fear tastes like sunshine puked up by a unicorn.
I was considering being magnanimous in our total victory, but that lasted until a bunch of loving, tolerant, peaceful anti-Trump demonstrators jumped my friend and hurt his dog. So now, their pain is my sugar, and I say let’s spend the next four years having our coffee Sudden Impact-style.
You want to play the freakoutrage card? Go ahead, make my day.
It’s the only practical tool they have left, secession being hard and scary when you’re on the side that wets itself around guns. So instead they sow cultural chaos with the eager, slobbering cooperation of the dying mainstream media. Hence the nonstop series of post-defeat freakoutrages over each and every action undertaken by President-elect Trump – oh, I’m getting Matthewsian tingles down my leg just thinking of how much it hurts you libs to read those words!
But it’s a loser’s game. Freakoutraging is not a power move – it’s a sign of weakness. It’s weak because to work, it depends entirely on cooperation by us and by President-elect Trump – there’s that tingle again! We have to allow it to work. See, you libs can’t make us do anything because we control everything. The Reid Rule is in effect, players, and we’re going to beat down liberalism like a Nordic-Trak beats down Harry.
Freakoutrage is manipulation, so it depends upon the credibility of the freakoutrager in the eyes of the freakoutragee. Do you see the problem? Because the freakoutragers are liberals amplified by the liberal mainstream media, there’s a bit of a credibility gap in the eyes of us freakoutragees. Similarly yuge gaps include the Grand Canyon and the yawning chasm between Obama’s self-regard and his accomplishments.
To work, the freakoutragee has to take the freakoutrage seriously – “Wow, I can’t imagine that anyone would call the Attorney General appointee a white supremacist Klan lover without a really good reason. I shall be wary of this ruffian!” But when you literally call everyone associated with Donald Trump a bigot, racist, sexist, Islamophobe, transphobe, and miscellaneousphobe – including, by extension, the nearly 50% of Americans who voted for him over Harridan McHarpy – then you lose your credibility. When you redefine “bigotry” to mean “I don’t like you,” you’ve deprived the word of its bite.
Non-political people are watching, and when no one goosesteps over to their houses to throw them into Jesus camp with all the other people whose ancestors didn’t hail from Dusseldorf, they’re going to figure out that your endless freakoutrages are all lies. When everybody’s terrible, nobody is. Especially when the people you say are terrible really aren’t.
Freakoutrage need the cooperation of President-elect Trump (Ohhhh, baby, I’m a-tinglin’ again!), and that’s another reason you’ll fail. Freakoutrage is really a way you and your media fluffers try to train conservative leaders. You try to teach the Republican leader that if he does anything you don’t approve of, you’ll scream and whine and then he’ll have to back down. It’s a means of control, like a shock collar. And this works on a lot of Republicans, or used to: “Oh no, the WaPo is angry! Quick, start #caring!”
But The Donald? Nope. You have no heat because he’s giving absolutely no damns.
Ditching the press to scarf a sirloin? WAAAAAA! Damns given: 0.
Appointing hardcore conservatives? WAAAAA! Damns given: 0.
Building the wall, repealing O-Care, SCOTUS Justice Willet? WAAAAA! Damns given: 0.
You’ll be freaking out and the President will be eating a taco bowl and kicking it old school with his hot immigrant wife like a boss, penning and phoning Obama’s miserable legacy into oblivion.
So libs, carry on with your freakoutrages. Please. Each one makes you weaker and us stronger. Everyone sees the truth behind your freakoutrage scam. Everyone sees the truth behind you. The audience of Hamilton didn't boo Pence. The cast didn’t lecture Pence. The audience booed us. The cast lectured us. You libs hate us. Hate, not merely dislike. Hate. Your dream is a country without us, just like I predicted in my new book.
So your freakoutraging did do us one solid – you helped remind us who our real enemy is. It’s you. And we know it because you dorky, safety-pinned, not moving-to-Canada-like-you-promised freakoutragers keep telling us so.
Good. They learned nothing.
They are going to slander his administration to death. The best thing you can do for you health and your country is to boycott TV news and seek out an alternative. Develop an independent perspective.
But we’ve learned how to fight back ala Hamilton boycott, NFL boycott, ESPN boycott, Starbucks Trump-name-on-cup, etc. I expect some serious indictments in the near future as well. It feels good to fight back and see the results.
Let’s go for 8 years, or more!
All the lamestream headlines are shouting this morning about HIllary’s lead on the popular vote.
Get ready for four more years of “selected, not elected”.
We we heading out to Lake Conesus in Upstate NY and I had been told that a friend of Dad's might have his boat there.
I had my heart set on a boat ride, but something happened and it fell through. There was a nice amusement park at the lake and we went there, which normally would have thrilled me to death.
But, having my heart set on a short boat ride, I opted to be miserable and mope my sorry ass off while riding the rides and eating the cotton candy.
Instead of a short boat ride, they get an all-day pass to the amusement park with something for all and they refuse to see that they are getting a better deal than they could have hoped for. Maybe 4 years will open a few eyes...
Love this. Every tantrum they throw brings glee to my heart. Can’t wait to see who cracks next.
Not hard to predict. I doubt Trump & Co. will be as passive is that blob of gluten Rove who advised Bush to “just be Presidential.”
...The left is trying to come to grips with its utter rejection....
They are not remotely interested in that.
Pay attention to the methods Soros used to knock over the half dozen governments he has overthrown around the world. He is using the same methods here. It has already started.
In our case, he already took control of the US government, and is now fighting to get it back. The methods are very recognizable. Look at the various “color” revolutions, and look at the “arab spring”. And then look at your nightly news. Same thing.
If you recognize it, and don’t buy in, it loses most of its power.
>>Get ready for four more years of “selected, not elected”.
I’m ready. Are they ready for 4 years of “I don’t care what you think pajama boy.”?
Four years of Schadenfruede? YES!
It’s started already. Headline & subhead in our Saturday edition of our local Gannett newsrag:
CLEAN WATER, AIR AT STAKE
Environmentalists raise concerns about Trump’s comments, policies
IOW, just like in the past, Republicans want to dirty the air and water (soon to be followed by shove grandma off the cliff).
Love Trump Hates now means : We (Liberals) Hate Trump
Suggestion: Take away all their free benefits so they will have to go get a real job. Then they will shut up.
Oh, and I forgot; the homeless are BAAACK!
What else is new. LIBs/Freaks prove their worthlessness each and every day. Meh.
Sorry, this song popped into my head when I saw the headline.

Look, here is the real deal.
We already KNOW and should be able to ANTICIPATE their tactics.
Why do we always come off as either ...ignore it or outraged by it, or shocked by their behavior?
We complain about the “leadership” doing nothing and are relying on Trump to be our pitbull in this fiasco, but really it is up to us to shut them down. Period.
It is time to send these coddled snowflake liberals to their rooms with a few of Rush Limbaugh’s history books.
It is time to start demanding “professors” teach their assigned classes and not indoctrinate the progressive agenda, it is time to put an end to all these touchy feely classes students are ‘required’ to take.
It is time these wonky professors filling these kids heads full of this mush to be brought to PUBLIC account.
It is time to demand students be truly taught how to handle a gun, instead of being in mortal fear of them.
It is time to teach rural affairs, instead of ‘urban affairs.’
It is time to take back the language from political correctness to reality.
We need to become the Mormon Tabernacle Choir of speech behind President Donald Trump.
