ThinkProgress Senior Editor Is Scared of His Plumber
Free Beacon ^ | 1/15/17 | Follow

Posted on 01/15/2017 6:25:13 AM PST by pabianice

A visit from a plumber left ThinkProgress senior editor Ned Resnikoff “rattled” due to fear that the plumber may have voted for Donald Trump.

Resnikoff said his fear was rooted in the chance that the plumber knew he was Jewish.

“While I had him in the apartment, I couldn’t stop thinking about whether he had voted for Trump, whether he knew my last name is Jewish, and how that knowledge might change the interaction we were having inside my own home,” he said.

The “uncertainty” of the situation left Resnikoff “rattled for some time.”

“I have no real reason to believe he was a Trump supporter or an anti-Semite, but in my uncertainty I couldn’t shake the sense of potential danger,” he wrote. “I was rattled for some time after he left.”

And, this mental disorder has swept the entire Western Hemisphere, thanks to our technology saviors the likes of Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. It would be positively inconceivable if it were not happening before our very eyes. What an amazing time in history.

“He was a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional,” Resnikoff shared. “But he was also a middle-aged white man with a southern accent who seemed unperturbed by this week’s news.”

That's because, even in his lowly position as a (gasp!) Plumber, he was more of a professional than you will ever be. And more of a man!

Obviously the guy knows he’s guilty as all hell of participating in the crimes that the American people got sick enough of to put Trump into the Presidency to clean up.

Anti-semitism is rampant on the left. Yet a majority of Jewish people support the left. And, if this guy is an example, they are ready to believe, without evidence, that the right is ready to commit all sorts of atrocities against people of the Jewish faith, while completely ignoring the real anti-semitic actions of the left. Why?

"Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings. Have you ever disliked someone only to become convinced that the person had a vendetta against you? This is a common example of psychological projection."

Good example, huh. "Projection" is one of the hallmarks of leftists, especially Muslims.

All that projection on a plumber who only wants to fix the problem and hopes the customer’s check clears. The plumber’s deepest thought was probably about whether he had the parts necessary on the truck for the repair.

He sounds pretty Unhinged and borderline crazy, have the POLICE been over to put him under a 3 day hold for psychiatric evaluation yet? He sounds like an obvious Danger to Himself and the Community and really needs to be evaluated as to whether or not he is a DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY.

DOES HE AVE ANY GUNS in the house??
Is he about to Explode in VIOLENT RAGE from Paranoia??

I think we need to err on the side of PUBLIC SAFETY here, the POLICE need to Pick him up for Mental Evaluation and make sure he has NO WEAPONS

Just because of the negative vibe that douche wad was probably sending out I would have charged double.

So the editor was profiling the hired help? Isn’t that forbidden by SJWs?

Ned needs to take a walk through a neighborhood that supported Clinton by over 90%. You do not need to have a PhD in psychology to see the sickness here. Paul Krugman adds his opinion of the Deplorables: a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy.” In case you are not familiar with the “blood and soil” thing, it’s “Blut und Boden,” a popular phrase from 1930s Germany.

Re #9:

I once read an article on the issue of why so many Northeastern Jews were liberals when it’s the conservatives in America that are the strongest supporters of Israel. Boiling the article down to it’s bottom line it was simply that their liberalism trumps their Judaism. They are truly a lost, sad and stupid bunch of people.

Yet another example to place in Webster's under 'pussy'.

See also 'snowflake'.

Imho, THIS is why we won in November.
The revolt of the people who know how to make the country work vs the clueless whiners who think it's all just magic.

This is the kind of person who would cheerfully order the death of “deplorables” if he had the power.

Yes, their illogical reasoning leads to lack of conscience, evil thoughts and actions and a break down of mental capacity and mental breakdown.

I suggest that this guy is mentally ill. He has paranoia. Who thinks about the politics of their plumber and then writes about it? Really, what an ignorant ass this guy is.
