As this appalling year limps to a close, with President Trump consistently underperforming even the lowest of expectations, a note of holiday cheer: Our countrys institutions and values have, so far, proven remarkably resilient.
This outcome was not a given; complacency that it will continue would be dangerous. And yet, after nearly a year of Trump, the warnings about incipient fascism and the insidious ways strongmen acquire power feel overblown. I suspected so from the start, but I wasnt sure nor should we be cocky about the future.
Still, for now, there are reasons for optimism in the performance of the media, the courts and, yes, even the Republican-dominated Congress undergirded and reinforced by the American people.
On the media: How scary it is to have a president who derides us as the enemy of the American people. To have a cable news network that inflames his worst instincts and recklessly flings suggestions of a coup by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. To have nearly half the public, egged on by Trumps bellowing about fake news, believing that reporters simply invent negative stories about the president.

The Left will never forgive President Trump for not building the concentration camps they promised he would.
She is correct in her assessment, the Ministry of Propaganda, the lefty judges and Bush League Republicans have stifled President Trump from much of what he and US would like to get done.
That’s exactly it. The GOP keeps thinking if they give a little (or a lot), the Dims will do the same. It’s definitely like Lucy and the football, year after year.
Where's Peter Griffin when you need him?
"Road House!"
LOL! Thats a good one all right!
Truth be told?
There is a market for her work.
A large enough market that gets her and many others paid very well to spout superficial diatribes to an audience of eager zombies that are scared to death of reality.
These people reinforce their insecurities in a giant circle jerk of self affirming cluelessness.
They promote and celebrate stupidity as virtue that must be considered worthy and respected and if you/we don’t?
We are the enemy.
The danger is not that these writers have a platform.
The danger is that they have an audience that is willing to set aside all logic and basic understanding of human nature in order to advance some post-Modernist, neo-Marxist idea of how things should be.
Conservatives would be wise not to underestimate these people. It’s easy to suggest that their logic and reason is flawed and therefore it will never amount to anything.
Just consider what they have achieved to date.
The Anti-American indoctrination in our public school system.
The Balkanization of our populace into victim groups.
The over sexualization of the youth from K to 12 and the promotion of gender dysphoria.
Moral relativism.
Cultural relativism.
Anti-Capitalism.
A P.C. culture in virtually every aspect of our society that seeks to destroy all opposition to their feelings.
Trump may be winning now, but we are a long way from victory.
They called us Nazis when we voted for Reagan, Bush 41, Dole, Bush 43, McCain, and Romney. They would call us Nazis if we voted for Rubio, Jeb, or Kasich.
What sets Trump apart from all of the above is that he won’t put up with the people who voted for him being called Nazis.
Hows your 401k / IRAs doing there Marcus?
If she thinks 2017 was bad, wait until she seeds what President Trump does in 2018.
The Deep State is in Deep Siht.
They call us NAZI’s because they are Communists and they only know two forms of Government.
Hitler = Nazi = Bad.
Americans and Soviet Communists fought Hitler = Good.
America = Slavery = oppression = Capitalism = Bad.
Therefore Communism = Good.
This is the full extent of their thinking.
Nazi = National Socialist = Bad.
Therefore: Socialism = Bad.
(just a little monkey wrench)
Michelle Malkin specifically warned about this in one of the last chapters of Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild. I really do believe somebody on the Left may be crazy enough to actually do something drastic within the next 12 months.
Their thinking doesn’t go that deep.
As I said, They only know two forms of Government.
Anytime one of these leftist loons spouts off their word-vomit I saw we visit their twitter and post a link to this video

Yes you liberals are so smart and in touch with reality.
Actually, self-described proud liberal Pat Caddell has also called the media the enemy of the American people.
Of course, that also means Caddell is actually a conventional (modern-day) American liberal, not one of the poisonous leftoids infesting our Congress, the media, Hollywood, etc.
Neither do the urban black-RATs. Republicans freed the slaves, paid for their freedom with blood and lives.
(but we're the bad guys)
I LOVE watching my enemy squirm and lament like this.
I wish my web browser would moan in pain while I read this.
American Media == Domestic Enemy
