Donald Trump Has Caused The Left to Lose Its Mind
Townhall.com ^ | February 11, 2017 | John Hawkins

“You’re awake by the way. You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also, you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell. This is your life now. This is our election now. This is us. This is our country.”Rachel Maddow’s reaction to Trump becoming President

When Barack Obama was elected, conservatives didn’t cry like the liberals you see in this HILARIOUS VIDEO. We didn’t need therapy. We didn’t start wailing that he was Hitler or demand safe spaces. Instead, we said, “That sucks. This guy is going to be terrible for the country.” By the way, we were right. He was. But still, we got up and we went to work. Then when the time came, we went to Tea Parties. We obeyed the law at those Tea Parties. We paid for our permits. We were polite to the police. We cleaned up behind ourselves. Then we organized and we took control of the House and the Senate along with the majority of state legislatures and governorships. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

What we didn’t do was put on masks and riot in D.C. because we didn’t like the candidate who was elected. What we didn’t do was tear up Berkeley because we were upset that a pro-Trump gay guy was invited to give a speech. We didn’t smash any windows at Starbucks. We didn’t squirt pepper spray in people’s faces because they wore hats we didn’t like. If we had done that, Townhall and Right Wing News wouldn’t have written columns talking up the riots like the UC Berkeley student paper did. The rationale was that having people say things students don’t like on their campus is the same as committing violence against them and therefore, their violent outbursts represented “self-defense” against fascism…or something. It’s a little hard to follow the reasoning of crazy people sometimes, but as Phil Massey said, “They're trying to fight imagined fascism with actual fascism.” 

This gets even trickier to figure out since former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich said on TV that he heard rumors that the violent protesters were actually Breitbart plants: "There’s rumors that they actually were right-wingers. They were a part of a kind of group that was organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger you saw that forced the police to cancel the event. So Donald Trump, when he says Berkeley doesn’t respect free speech rights, that’s a complete distortion of the truth. ...I saw these people. They all looked very– almost paramilitary. They were not from the campus. I don’t want to say factually, but I’ve heard there was some relationship here between these people and the right-wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News.”

You think that’s crazy? Just yesterday, liberal protesters blocked a schoolhouse door to keep Education Secretary Betsy DeVos from being able to go in. Setting aside the fact that the last time Democrats blocked people from entering schoolhouse doors in the sixties was not exactly a proud moment for them, it’s amazing to see a DNC official siding with thugs blocking the Education Secretary from entering a building.

As you can imagine, if the “responsible people” in the Democratic Party are behaving like loons, the left-wing celebrities who are not the most stable people to begin with, are really off the rails. We could do a whole article just on the celebrity comments since Trump was elected, but here’s a little smattering of their comments that should give you a good handle on the level of crazy.

“Letting trump take office means burying democracy. Letting him take it without the popular vote means burying it alive.” -- Joss Whedon

"So I’ve been shopping around for a new religion to see me through the next four years. Too many of my fellow Christians voted for selfishness and for degradation of the beautiful world God created. I guess they figured that by the time the planet was a smoky wasteland, they’d be nice and comfy in heaven, so wotthehell. Anyhow, I’m looking around for other options." -- Garrison Keillor

"I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won’t change anything." -- Madonna

“I FULLY SUPPORT IMPOSING MARTIAL LAW – DELAYING THE INAUGURATION – UNTIL TRUMP IS 'CLEARED' OF ALL CHARGES," -- Rosie O'Donnell

"WAKE UP & JOIN THE RESISTANCE. ONCE THE MILITARY IS W US FASCISTS GET OVERTHROWN. MAD KING & HIS HANDLERS GO BYE BYE" -- Sarah Silverman

Oh, well, that all sounds like a perfectly sane reaction to your candidate losing an election, doesn’t it? Oh wait, it doesn’t at all. These people sound like they belong in a mental institution.

Speaking of which, officials in Seattle are cutting ties with Wells Fargo because that company is helping to finance the Trump-supported Dakota Pipeline. Using that same thinking, couldn’t conservatives stop dealing with Wells Fargo because it was helping to finance the city of Seattle? Along similar lines, liberals are boycotting companies like Neiman Marcus because they carry merchandise put out by Trump’s daughter Ivanka. Is this the new standard in America? Targeting the children of our political enemies? It has even bled down to living arrangements. Apparently, in D.C. liberals have taken to adding the equivalent of No Trump Supporters Need Apply to ads looking for roommates. Worse yet, there has been at least one case where a woman divorced her husband of 22 years because he voted for Trump. That sounds perfectly sane, doesn’t it? Of course, we also can’t forget the infamous liberal sucker punch to the face of white nationalist Richard Spencer. That was followed by liberals declaring that it was good that Spencer was punched because he’s a Nazi and, oh, by the way, everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi. Somehow, it never seems to occur to them that it’s just as moral or immoral to punch him for his political views as it is to punch, let’s say, Elizabeth Warren or Chuck Schumer.

Even if you don’t love Trump, he does at least seem to be a few cuts above crazy people screaming about coups while they smash windows and assault random passers-by in Make America Great hats. The Left has descended so far that when you see Death to America trending on Twitter or Facebook, you have to check to see whether it's in Iran or Berkeley. If fascism, violence, hatred, crying and crazy are all liberals have to offer, they should prepare themselves for eight years of Trump.

Trump is going to cost the elites a lot of money.

The libs & GOPe are still spending money against him.

All he has to do is enforce the laws on the books, plus get rid of the lousy regs at the same time.

Well, they DO have minds. Just not sound, rational ones.

If anything, their minds have deteriorated to new-low levels.

Demonic-rats and their Far-Left Comrades are fighting a losing battle, which I’m enjoying immensely.

Twitter is always in an uproar over something Trump.

This morning 2 Trump topics are trending:

Footing the Bill for Trumps
5,667 Tweets

Magnitude of Trump
2,343 Tweets

If Cruz had won he’d already be “reaching across the isle”......

The left had already lost its mind years before. They just are now doing it in public.

Their reaction has been way out there but they have long been that way. It has just taken a special person like President Trump to bring them to full moonbat mode. They did the same to any pub but I think they see a true existential threat in Trump that the others never rose to. My reaction to 0 was that I loathed him but I refused to give him anymore space in my mind and life and simply ignored him to the extent I could. It was easier to do up here in Canada than the US. Particularly since Stephen Harper was PM for most of the 0 years. Now the situation is reversed and I continue to do my best to ignore Turdeau.

If you all are Facebook users, please post this article and ask others to share it. I post these kinds of very readable and common-sense articles like this one on my Facebook page. A lot of my FB friends appreciate and share, it’s another good way to counter the Fake News Media.

LOL - So Cruz has a history of “reaching across the aisle”? In what alternate universe?

In the decades after Ronald Reagan's presidency, many subversive elements within our country have been allowed into positions of power and influence within our government. These traitors were eagerly aided and protected by an equally subversive media. In fact, the rot ran so deeply within our government (or what used to be "our" government) that I thought it would take years to expose our enemies and root them out.

But the most interesting (and entertaining) part of all of this is that the moment they realized that Donald Trump was not going to walk away from the campaign, all of the enemy's generals- on both sides of the aisle and even in "conservative" media- waltzed into broad daylight of their own volition. President Trump didn't have to do anything.

They were already insane. There is no hope for them to ever become useful inhabitants of the world.

Trump had nothing to do with those idiots losing their minds but he did stir their water enough to bring that “shortage” to the surface. You can’t lose something you don’t already have.

Dems think they have it bad now? They are headed toward REAL hard times.....complete and total disaster helped by mealy-mouthed Rachel, Streep, Rosie O'Donuts, Schmuckie, Nanzi, and the rest of them.

=====================================

Democrats Are in Worse Shape than Even They Think
Breitbart ^ | 2/10/2017 | Larry Schweikart / FR Posted by LS

Warnings — or, in some cases, celebrations — that the Democrats are on the verge of a disastrous collapse have been growing more frequent recently. Since the election, Rush Limbaugh has been hammering the point that the campaign has only continued — and extended the trend set in 2010, when Democrats lost the House. Since then, Democrats have lost 1200 national and statewide seats.

And earlier this week, Stewart Lawrence, writing in the Daily Caller, and picking up on a study by the centrist “Third Way” think tank, noted that the Democrats are now almost exclusively a coastal party, with a couple of lone interior outposts such as Chicago and Minneapolis. According to the study, while Hillary Clinton beat Trump in California, New York and Massachusetts by 30%, Trump won the rest of the states by 52-48%. Some 32 state legislatures are in Republican hands, but in only five states do Democrats control both houses of the legislature and the governor’s mansion.

And, as many (including Lawrence) note, in 2018 the Democrats must defend 10 U.S. Senate seats in states that Trump won. Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, once thought dead in the water, won re-election in 2016, as did John McCain in Arizona, despite the fact that many conservatives, sick of his antics, voted for the Democrat.

If the left can’t win these seats — the most low-hanging of fruit — where can they win? The fact is, although we now know the polls were horribly wrong, *Trump’s victory was quite small compared to what it might have been. (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

POSTERS NOTE: *Trump’s victory was quite small compared to what it might have been....b/c of Obama/Hillary's massive voter fraud.

You’re assuming leftism isn’t in large part a genetic disorder.
