Outstanding! Thank you. My own opinion is that it isn't only 'power' that motivates today's left, but it's something similar to power - 'superiority'. I loved what you included from Orwell, and I think this quote encapsulates that 'need' to be 'superior':

"...revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which ‘we’, the clever ones, are going to impose upon ‘them’, the Lower Orders."

Trump is saying to the leftist elite, including the media, 'you aren't special', and that is one big reason they hate him so much.

It’s certainly been gratifying to watch...I don’t know that we’ll ever again see a Republican president with this much gumption to fight back against the media.
