Ms. Marcus apparently doesn't agree with President Trump. Her right. Maybe she'll live to regret her opinion?

Background and education

“Marcus was born in Philadelphia and grew up in a Jewish family in Livingston, New Jersey. Both her parents were pharmacists. She attended school in Livingston with and has remained a close friend of fellow columnist Mona Charen. She studied at Yale University where she wrote for the college newspaper.”

Just so you all know the background of this witch!

[2CAVTrooper]

I really wish idiots like her would just commit suicide.

>> the warnings about incipient fascism

Historically, fascism rises up to prevent communism. If they’d just stop believing in communism, they wouldn’t have to worry about fascism.

[Robert DeLong]

As always, Washington Compost creates fake news to peddle to the true believers of socialism.

There is no reason to read these. Of course the propaganda leftist media is the enemy of both the American People and their First Amendment. They know how to write, and they get “clever” ideas for their propaganda pieces.

They prove daily they are the enemy by not ever providing another side to any of their stories. There is nothing to discuss about it. That is what they do.

Half of the American people are astonished and grateful for the wonderful things Trump has done this year for all Americans, our economy, and our safety. To not report this is proof of their enemy propaganda behavior.

We need to alternately mock them, ignore them, and never stop correcting their lies.

Where’s the BARF alert ??

Some rock stars of yore have been notorious for injecting drugs via syringe directly into their brains. Leftists have apparently performed the same trick, however injecting stupid directly into their brains.

As this appalling year limps to a close, with President Trump consistently underperforming even the lowest of expectations...

Why read past that?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

As this appalling year limps to a close, with President Trump consistently underperforming even the lowest of expectations, a note of holiday cheer: Our country’s institutions and values have, so far, proven remarkably resilient.

Amazing! This is one of the BEST "political" years I can remember (and that goes back to Truman!). It hardly "limped" to the finish line with the HUGE TAX OVERHAUL, good Lord, that was an AMAZING finish. Their only "holiday cheer" is that half the FBI and DOJ aren't in Jail yet!

What planet to liberals live on?

> Trump consistently underperforming even the lowest of expectations >

The radical lefts biggest fear is Trump succeeding. This includes RINOs.

[justa-hairyape]

This is called the denial stage. Some leftist will never get beyond that stage.

[Steve_Seattle]

"And yet, after nearly a year of Trump, the warnings about incipient fascism and the insidious ways strongmen acquire power feel overblown."

They were seen - by rational people - to be overblown from the start, Ruth. We didn't need to wait a year.

[M Kehoe]

Wait till next year Ruthy, and see if your fragile ideology and ego can survive.

My guess? You crawl into the corner and assume the fetal position.

Ruth Marcus offers the communist perspective on the first year of the Trump Era.

[Carry me back]

One persons appalling is another’s Maga. Glad to hear people like her are miserable.

[Drew68]

Our country’s institutions and values have, so far, proven remarkably resilient.

The Left will never forgive President Trump for not building the concentration camps they promised he would.

[Lurkinanloomin]

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.
