THESE ARE anxious times in America. Despite a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the absence of a major war, people remain troubled by a sense of national underperformance and myriad social ills, most recently the surge in racially tinged fatal shootings committed by law enforcement officers and against them. A new Gallup poll reports that only 17 percent of Americans feel satisfied with the way things are going, the lowest percentage since October 2013 — and down 12 points in just the past month.
For many, of course, a cause of concern is Donald Trump, who accepted the Republican presidential nomination Thursday evening. Belligerent and erratic, Mr. Trump nevertheless has a serious chance to win in November. In his acceptance speech, he sought to enhance his political prospects the only way he knows how: by inflaming public angst, so as to exploit it.
Mr. Trump took real challenges and recast them in terms that were not only exaggerated but also apocalyptic...

Bet there’s not a pack of Depends left on any store shelf between Chevy Chase and Herndon this morning.
Add “hellscape” to that. Another journ-o-list meme making the rounds this morning. Heh. Run, bitches.
Liberals apoplexy at Trump’s speech shows they do indeed occupy an alternate universe! They always sell fear of the abstract NEVER the real. If you fear the real threat of an ISIS nut yelling “Allahu Akbar” while shooting or driving a truck, you’re a “bigot”! If you fear an attack by an illegal immigrant felon on his 10th return from deportation, you’re a “hater”.
If you fear Donald Trump will put you in a concentration camp or you’re SUV will “warm” the earth but liberals are OK with private jets (burn more fuel in an hour than your SUV in a year) then you’re a liberal. As heavy Democrat run “gun control” inner cities become free fire zones, it’s always the gun, never the finger that pulls the trigger that’s the blame... as blame is also in the abstract (”it was a video”). Hysteria at things that won’t happen(no ice at the poles, women forced into the “back alleys”) is their creed. Insanity is their norm, Truth is their enemy! God bless America!
LOL, the left wing media cannot understand that America is in decline and they refuse to believe it as their leaders are Hillary/Obama.
Thus, they all want to paint American people and Trump as negative because they dare not support Leftism and the multitude of failures these policies have directly caused.
Their reaction is predictable, they are defensive, they support Obama/Hillary so how could anything be wrong?
“Tellin a Lie” (with apologies to the Bee Gees)
Well, you can tell by the way I take the Fifth,
I’m a Democrat: here come the fibs.
Private schools and gated homes, I’ve got guns and you’ll have none.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
The Press will look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man.
Whether to a brother or whether to a mother,
We’re tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can’t get either, I’ll tell a lie.
Got the wings of Satan on my shoes.
I’m a Democrat and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right. It’s OK.
I’ll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man.
Whether to your brother or whether to your mother,
We’re tellin’ a lie, takin’ the Fifth.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,

“I stopped at: “Despite a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the absence of a major war”
These people are truly delusional, and are so blinded by their hatred for anyone that challenges them that they have abandoned truth and credibility.
Considering dystopian dramas and comedies are some of the most popular programming on television... they might be on to something :D
The Democrat shills and parrots release the talking points as instructed.
I am a big fan of Amazon(The Washpost’s parent company) but I am really starting to think that they are in violation of antitrust laws. The Justice Department should have a look come Feb 2017.
President Bush you can relax, everything wrong with the world is now Trumps fault.
So, when the Democrats talked about the worst economy since the great depression over and over, that was not being exploitative.
When the Democrats back the MSM in saying there is a police war against black citizens that’s also not being exploitative.
It would be “major” enough if a Republican had been in office. But the media and other leftists forget all about their “deeply felt principles”, their anti-war stance, when it’s a ‘rat war.
Wait! What? The leftist liberals don't believe in The Bible so how could they think Trump is the candidate of the apocalypse?
Wow! I thought you were DFU for a second.
'of course'...
Really?
Suck it up, WP, you've got a very rough road ahead with that attitude.
Washington ComPost.
“Fundamental transformation” was the apocalypse, you Washington Compost racist airheads.
