“If he treats it as an opposition party, that’s because it is one. The fury of the media is the fury of exposed partisans, for whom ruling had once come so easy and now is too hard.”

...and now the ‘very fake news’ is in a heap of torn up pieces of paper on the news room floor, waiting for the janitor to sweep it up and put it in the garbage....
The old saying goes, “The Left has causes, not principles.”
Like a cult, they blindly follow their causes without reasoning why.
Like a cult, you are either for them — i.e. part of the cult of The Left — or against them. If you are against them, they will try to destroy you.
This was true in climate change, where anyone against it was villified and destroyed.
It is true on most issues. They don’t want to talk about the principles. They don’t want to debate or even think about the details.
Ask anyone from The left, “What is so wrong about securing our borders?” and they will not have an answer. They will think you are against them and you must be a racist.
Ask anyone from The Left, “What is so wrong with making sure with a little more vetting that dangerous terrorists don’t enter our country, “ and they will think you are racist.
Ask anyone from the The Left, “What is so wrong with deporting dangerous criminals, “ and they will think you are the enemy.
To The left, it is evil to be open-minded. They are not allowed to watch or read conservative news. Anyone who watches Fox News or reads Free Republic is evil.
You are either with them (and part of their cult) or you are the enemy.
