The Crudity of the Obsessive-Compulsive Left
American Greatness ^ | 25 Sep, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 09/25/2025 5:49:33 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The left’s crude obsession with Trump and conservatives now fuels sabotage, slander, and even celebration of violence—proof their hatred has gone global and unhinged.

Donald Trump just visited the United Nations to offer a customary annual presidential address.

Before he arrived, there were reports that UN staffers had joked about shutting down the escalator to chastise Trump for cutting out aid to some UN programs.

Upon arrival, as if on cue, Trump was met by a series of mysterious coincidences.

As soon as he and First Lady Melania mounted the escalator, it suddenly froze—forcing them to walk up.

Other escalators worked fine. Shortly afterward, the supposedly broken escalator was just as mysteriously running again.

When Trump went to the podium, his teleprompter mysteriously quit—and his alone.

As he delivered his speech from a text, the amplification in parts of the assembly was mysteriously lowered to near imperceptible levels.

Despite UN denials, all three “accidents” were too closely tied to Trump to be coincidences.

But they remind us that the left-wing hatred of the president has gone global—even after two near-successful assassination attempts.

The House of Representatives recently offered a resolution honoring the life and legacy of the conservative organizer Charlie Kirk, murdered by a leftist assassin.

The left both feared and hated Kirk. Why?

He had been singularly successful in redirecting youth’s natural rebelliousness against the status quo onto the ruling, ossified liberal establishment.

Kirk was winning over a new generation of young Americans to be counter-culturalists and counter-revolutionaries.

He urged them to question the entire left-wing orthodoxy of higher education, the corporate media, and popular culture—the ruling institutions that the baby boomers had enshrined as the current establishment.

His singular success may be why the terrified left attacked him as much after death as they had while he was

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

The only mystery about the new obsessive-compulsive left is whether their vulgarity, violence, and crudity trickle top-down from the uncouth Democrat elite—or rise bottom-up from thuggish Antifa, BLM, and the rioters who attack ICE and Tesla dealerships, and disrupt Charlie Kirk’s funeral services.

Interesting. Using the word "uncouth". Wonder if the leftists that exhibit the trait, even know what it is. Without an AI lookup ...

The leftists don't know or care what "uncouth" means. As VDH often points out, the left is all about nihilism -- the absence of values. Especially values related to respecting other people.

Another example of the Left biting the hand that feeds it. Do these UN morons think that Trump will now shower them with funds?
WRONG

I’d be happy if we withdrew from the UN altogether, but at least Trump should retaliate by cutting our payment by half. He doesn’t have to say a word, just cut their budget.

Apparently the mental level at which the UN operates is typically childish and sophomoric. I really anticipated that he was about to announce we were withdrawing altogether. It’s still a good idea. Their pranks demonstrate it’s not a force to be taken seriously.
