On the election of Donald Trump and the first year of his presidency.
“That’s how you got Trump!” This phrase seemed at first to be a playful quip, uttered here and there as the Left’s shock and horror over the election of President Donald J. Trump manifested itself in memorably bizarre ways such as grieving centers on university campuses where tender twenty-somethings and the tenured radicals who instruct them were invited to stroke “therapy dogs,” scribble in coloring books, stack Legos, and do their brave best to cope. At Cornell, they even staged a “cry-in,” with the Ivy League university’s staff providing tissues and hot chocolate, gratis—or as gratis as it gets after mom and dad have ponied up the $65,494 in annual tuition and fees. Alas, it is not a quip anymore. “That’s how you got Trump!” has become a constant refrain.
Shock among self-proclaimed “progressives” has devolved into anger. Rage has fueled a full- time tantrum: a competition among distraught student bodies, Hollywood heavyweights, community organizers, pop stars, sanctuary-city pols, froth-flecked pundits, smoldering social media addicts, and rabble-rousers from Black Lives Matter to Antifa (a fascist projection outfit). All vie to be the most outraged, the most rabidly anti-Trump.

Let them all fume, piss, and moan.
They are all worthless fools.
You really start to see how much people hate this country and way of life yet owe thier fortune, success and freedom to this very country. If this isn’t mental illness what is?
For a while there I thought I was going to miss the NCAA football game.

Indeed. I’m not quite old enough to remember this sort of thing about Nixon. Certainly the Left hated Nixon. The Left worked for many years to take Nixon down. There was no ambivalence there.
But I am not sure there was quite this type of vitriol.
“He stole the election.”
“He’s working with our enemies.”
“He’s crazy.”
“He’s unfit.”
“He has dementia.”
“He’s Hitler.”
The hatred of Trump is not rational at all. I’m not sure any other President has ever been hated quite so much for so little actual reason.

And somehow we’re supposed to care about all this? The angst? The anger? Dramatic to be sure, but full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

So says one of the ORIGINAL, most rabid anti-Trumper's. Andy is waxing poetic.
A little too little too late, for Andy to try and jump aboard the 'look at that Trump hate!' bandwagon.
The real truth is that they don’t want anyone else to succeed. They want to live in their own enclave and enjoy the endless cocktail parties and engagements while the rest of us are huddled around burning 55-gallon drums to stay warm and looking up at them admiringly and begging for handouts. That’s why they’re pissed at Trump.
They will eventually control this country.

Until we find a way to clean out our education system, we are going down this road.
To me they're a seething mob, with experienced and powerful leadership, such as mobs may have. So I ain't laughin'.
Definitely a spiritual dimension to this hatred.
Brainwashed idiots,crybabies all.....
Idiot leftists should be celebrating the fact that Pres. Trump is accomplishing some good for the country.
The answer is to dry up the govt. loan guarantees to bigger colleges, let them go to Jr. colleges.

Well said!!!!!
Isn't that what socialism is all about?
Face it, it is really hard for the elites to enjoy living a life of luxury and ease when the vast unwashed masses live almost as well. Nope, true privilege can only be enjoyed when the masses are barely surviving on scraps.
I just gotta say it; PRESIDENT TRUMP!
