The new progressive bitter clingers
American Thinker ^ | 22 Aug, 2021 | Steve Feinstein

Progressive hypocrisies are impressive.

Current events often create memorable new clichés and aphorisms.

One such well-known occurrence took place in San Francisco during Barack Obama’s first campaign for president in 2008. He made an off-handed remark to his supporters, expressing his frustration that mid-western blue-collar voters were not reliable Democratic voters. This was the famous “bitter clingers” remark whence he denigrated middle-class voters for being unhappy that government policies weren’t able to save their jobs. “They cling to their religion and guns,” said the tolerant Barack, his voice dripping with the derisive condescension of an elitist snob, unable to fathom how 100% of the electorate was not automatically supporting him.

SNIP

The likes of General Mark Milley, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, DoD Press Secretary John Kirby and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin are so woefully unqualified, so overwhelmed, so far over their heads as they scramble to clutch even the most elementary facts (“How many Americans are still there?” “Uh…..I do not know……”), that the entire lot of them should be summarily fired on the spot and replaced by actual professionals who have the interests of America and its citizens as their first concern.

The above are “facts on the ground,” not unsubstantiated opinion. This administration is an object lesson on the mortal danger posed to the existence of our country and its people by recklessly unchecked CRT/BLM Wokism. While Progressives foolishly and inexplicably cling to the false past ghosts of President Trump, the reality of the present-day world and America’s proper role in that world crumbles around their incompetent, unprepared feet.

They stole the election like a BLM mob at a Nike store. Look at what they are doing with their new stolen powers.

Progressive is just another brand name for communism.

Doesn’t surprise me, stolen goods are treated like trash by crooks. The American people are not respected.

If we’re the deplorables then they are the dispicables.

Stolen elections have consequences.
