Is this the desperation of an old political order facing oblivion?

Um...could be.

"Is this the desperation of an old political order facing oblivion? "

That would be my guess. The Left are the living dead, a political philosophy so morbid and necrotic that even those who whored for it when it was alive can scarce shed a tear of remorse. Yet, it still has the ability to reach up from it's casket on occasion to infect the unwitting. Even when buried it will keep trying to claw it's way to the surface, so have your wooden stake, a mirror, a cross and a silver bullet handy.
