Let’s go back to the beginning of the Bill Clinton era.....Hillary was already well known amongst the Left because Life magazine wrote an article about her over her commencement speech at Wellesley College. They saw her as a star of the 60’s counter culture who was now in a position to become the First Lady.
The Reagan/Bush era pushed the Left back on their heels, after they were already marginalized during the Nixon/Ford years. Between the end of the 60’s and the end of the 80’s, the Left wing hippies and punk rockers became adults, and were ready to finally take power.
25 years after Clinton first got elected, the Left is now officially “the man”, and Conservatives are the new underground rebels. Left wing universities who refuse to let Conservative speakers give speeches are like the construction workers in the 60’s who were beating up hippies.
And the Left are completely oblivious to this. Even though they’ve completely taken control of academia, the media, the entertainment industry, the advertising industry, government agencies, philanthropic organizations, and even many of the Churches, they still fancy themselves as the underdog.
And it’s because they’re so clueless about the power that they’ve amassed and how they’re abusing it, that they have no conception of how much they’re pissing people off.
Deja vu.
I was giving that same speech to an old hippie friend last weekend and I actually think I got through to her. She is 70 but she admitted to seeing in Hitlery the same things she saw in Nixon in ‘68.
