Donald Trump Has Caused The Left to Lose Its Mind

“You’re awake by the way. You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also, you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell. This is your life now. This is our election now. This is us. This is our country.”Rachel Maddow’s reaction to Trump becoming President

When Barack Obama was elected, conservatives didn’t cry like the liberals you see in this HILARIOUS VIDEO. We didn’t need therapy. We didn’t start wailing that he was Hitler or demand safe spaces. Instead, we said, “That sucks. This guy is going to be terrible for the country.” By the way, we were right. He was. But still, we got up and we went to work. Then when the time came, we went to Tea Parties. We obeyed the law at those Tea Parties. We paid for our permits. We were polite to the police. We cleaned up behind ourselves. Then we organized and we took control of the House and the Senate along with the majority of state legislatures and governorships. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

What we didn’t do was put on masks and riot in D.C. because we didn’t like the candidate who was elected. What we didn’t do was tear up Berkeley because we were upset that a pro-Trump gay guy was invited to give a speech. We didn’t smash any windows at Starbucks. We didn’t squirt pepper spray in people’s faces because they wore hats we didn’t like. If we had done that, Townhall and Right Wing News wouldn’t have written columns talking up the riots like the UC Berkeley student paper did. The rationale was that having people say things students don’t like on their campus is the same as committing violence against them and therefore, their violent outbursts represented “self-defense” against fascism…or something. It’s a little hard to follow the reasoning of crazy people sometimes, but as Phil Massey said, “They're trying to fight imagined fascism with actual fascism.” 

This gets even trickier to figure out since former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich said on TV that he heard rumors that the violent protesters were actually Breitbart plants: "There’s rumors that they actually were right-wingers. They were a part of a kind of group that was organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger you saw that forced the police to cancel the event. So Donald Trump, when he says Berkeley doesn’t respect free speech rights, that’s a complete distortion of the truth. ...I saw these people. They all looked very– almost paramilitary. They were not from the campus. I don’t want to say factually, but I’ve heard there was some relationship here between these people and the right-wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News.”

You think that’s crazy? Just yesterday, liberal protesters blocked a schoolhouse door to keep Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from being able to go in. Setting aside the fact that the last time Democrats blocked people from entering schoolhouse doors in the sixties was not exactly a proud moment for them, it’s amazing to see a DNC official siding with thugs blocking the Education Secretary from entering a building.

As you can imagine, if the “responsible people” in the Democratic Party are behaving like loons, the left-wing celebrities who are not the most stable people to begin with, are really off the rails. We could do a whole article just on the celebrity comments since Trump was elected, but here’s a little smattering of their comments that should give you a good handle on the level of crazy.

“Letting trump take office means burying democracy. Letting him take it without the popular vote means burying it alive.” -- Joss Whedon

"So I’ve been shopping around for a new religion to see me through the next four years. Too many of my fellow Christians voted for selfishness and for degradation of the beautiful world God created. I guess they figured that by the time the planet was a smoky wasteland, they’d be nice and comfy in heaven, so wotthehell. Anyhow, I’m looking around for other options." -- Garrison Keillor

"I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won’t change anything." -- Madonna

“I FULLY SUPPORT IMPOSING MARTIAL LAW – DELAYING THE INAUGURATION – UNTIL TRUMP IS 'CLEARED' OF ALL CHARGES," -- Rosie O'Donnell

"WAKE UP & JOIN THE RESISTANCE. ONCE THE MILITARY IS W US FASCISTS GET OVERTHROWN. MAD KING & HIS HANDLERS GO BYE BYE" -- Sarah Silverman

Oh, well, that all sounds like a perfectly sane reaction to your candidate losing an election, doesn’t it? Oh wait, it doesn’t at all. These people sound like they belong in a mental institution.

Speaking of which, officials in Seattle are cutting ties with Wells Fargo because that company is helping to finance the Trump-supported Dakota Pipeline. Using that same thinking, couldn’t conservatives stop dealing with Wells Fargo because it was helping to finance the city of Seattle? Along similar lines, liberals are boycotting companies like Neiman Marcus because they carry merchandise put out by Trump’s daughter Ivanka. Is this the new standard in America? Targeting the children of our political enemies? It has even bled down to living arrangements. Apparently, in D.C. liberals have taken to adding the equivalent of No Trump Supporters Need Apply to ads looking for roommates. Worse yet, there has been at least one case where a woman divorced her husband of 22 years because he voted for Trump. That sounds perfectly sane, doesn’t it? Of course, we also can’t forget the infamous liberal sucker punch to the face of white nationalist Richard Spencer. That was followed by liberals declaring that it was good that Spencer was punched because he’s a Nazi and, oh, by the way, everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi. Somehow, it never seems to occur to them that it’s just as moral or immoral to punch him for his political views as it is to punch, let’s say, Elizabeth Warren or Chuck Schumer.

Even if you don’t love Trump, he does at least seem to be a few cuts above crazy people screaming about coups while they smash windows and assault random passers-by in Make America Great hats. The Left has descended so far that when you see Death to America trending on Twitter or Facebook, you have to check to see whether it's in Iran or Berkeley. If fascism, violence, hatred, crying and crazy are all liberals have to offer, they should prepare themselves for eight years of Trump.

In some ways we are seeing the political equivalent of the Tet Offensive. The North along with the Viet Cong used everything they had at the south. They lost the battle and were weaken by it but they won the war when Walter Cronkite mislead the American people in thinking it was a defeat.

The left is hoping that they can create a false narrative that Trump is a failed President and that he is responsible for all the hate and violence.

It may have worked, if that is if the internet and social media did not exist. After all they were able to bring down President Nixon.

But American have many sources of information today, they no longer need “the most trusted man in America” to tell they it is raining while peeing on their legs.

I will trust President Trump to know when and how to deal with the left (legally) when the time is right.

Much good is being done now exposing who is a member of the extreme left, those that want to destroy our way of life (while maintaining theirs). Thank you President Trump for your service to our nation, and God speed in restoring our Republic.

I have resisted sharing this analogy as it may be considered sacrilege but here goes: Trump's winning the nomination was not unlike "The Harrowing of Hell," that is, Christ's descent into Hades.

Christ's mere entry into hell as God the Son simply blew the place apart. It could not withstand His presence so it simply ceased to be.

In securing the nomination, Trump flushed out all the phonies, globalists, closet Democrats, corporate-owned, Soros-owned, foreign agents, etc., etc., and then some. It required no action. He merely showed up. Amazing.

FYI:

The Sack of Lawrence, Kansas, 1856

On the morning of May 21, 1856 an armed force of as many as 800 men descended upon the newly formed town of Lawrence in the Territory of Kansas and proceeded to systematically destroy it. With this act, the town of Lawrence became the first casualty in America’s Civil War that would officially be declared five years later.

You’re assuming leftism isn’t in large part a genetic disorder.

It definitely is genetic, and it's not related to just the mental aspects. It's also has a physical component, to the extent that it reverses the long held question of "why are conservatives attractive"? The actual observation should be, "why are attractive people conservative"?

The answer to this is related to studies and analyses on historical human breeding rates. As it turns out - logically - before welfare, the percentage of men & women out of the entire population who either were married and/or had children was lower than today.

In fact, some researchers conclude it was on the order of 80% for women and 60% for men. In other words, most people had the economic means, therefor adequate mental and physical qualities to engage in social commerce sufficient to be able to participate in family formation & support.

Once the basic economic requirement of self-sufficiency was eliminated, then the bottom of the genetic pool was enable to breed without restraint. The results are what we see today with a veritable circus freak show exhibit of all kinds of weird, recessive traits that has previously long been held in check.

See my #47. Yes, I’ve read excerpts - nothing to do with economics. Simply a function of people so lacking in basic community empathy that they think nothing of violating personal rights.

That video is so satisfying. I really enjoy watching those leftist degenerate freaks break down and cry in misery.

I hope Trump kicks them to the curb.

Donald Trump Has Caused The Left to Lose Its Mind!

Nah, any card carrying leftie was mentally ill long before Trump became president!

After Trump became president, we are seeing their full insanity everyday on tv, hearing them on the radio and seeing their insane writings posing as news.

Trump took away their support system in Congress and now at the local level.

Loss of that support system has exposed them as the totally insane/worthless/ with any real use in life, people they have been for years.

Some are rioting like in DC, Portland and Bezerkley.

Others are wearing pussy hats or vagina suits and protesting in DC and other cities.

Their snowflake children in colleges are unable to function and need sheltered places to color books and play with the toys of children.

They can’t have sex and are supposedly thinking about suicide.

Their legal/illegal drug use and alcohol use is probably increasing each day under a real president, Trump!

Wait until they realize the first few weeks of Trump as President were the best few weeks of the next 7 years and 49 weeks!

Run to Canada Snowflakes. Your misery will just increase daily under President Trump!

Or run to Mexico with your beloved illegals as they run back to Mexico! Of course Mexico will put you in really bad prisons until you promise to never come back to Mexico.

It’s a nice thought, but sadly we were swindled by Boehner Ryan and McConnell.

It is an excellent article.  However I would stop short of criticizing boycotts of companies.

That's fair game and a good way to send a non-violent message.  I will not shop at Macy's, for example.  So let the Lefties boycott Ivanka Trump's gear.

It's their right.  And with all Trump's winning, we need to allow the Lefties a harmless way to vent their steam :- )

I’m sure the leftism disease can be both by nature and nurture.

All the lefties have been sucking up the gas from the Obama-Hitlary faction for so long that the enforced Trump detox is indeed excruciating.

One difference between the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump is that the former, a committed Marxist with delusions of Leninism, was quite lazy. When not on a golf course or a gym court trying alternatively to appear upper class white and lower class black, he dawdled around enjoying the vast perks of the office and the slavering adulation of the press. If he'd been a new Stalin we'd all be in chains or buried in mass graves by now.

Donald Trump is a different sort altogether. Even the presidency can't come close to matching the luxury and style he's enjoyed for decades. He's a classic type-A personality, driven to keep on driving, in as an effective and efficient manner as possible. Not only is he driving himself he's whipping recalcitrant and lazy (that's the nature of most people who go into politics as a career) Republicans to try and keep up.

And he will learn fast from any and every early misstep his administration makes. The number and rapidity of personnel adjustments made during his campaign were misunderstood by the press as disorganization because they weren't at all familiar with what a real decision making businessman, who just hasn't got the time to waste, looks like in action.

So while it's certainly no comfort to them, nor any justification for them pulling off the mask and revealing their true Fascist (NSDAP ... the S is there because it belongs) faces, Donald Trump is a far more credible threat to them and their world than Obama was to ours.

Thank God.
