Now that the

Left has screeched, “Trump is Hitler!” for so long, where they go from here? Super Hitler? Über Hitler? I mean, they kind of have run out of “headspace” here.

And of course the problem is that no one even pays attention to such weirdness anymore. It’s just like the term “racist.” No one freakin’ cares anymore. The word has totally lost any impact it may have once had.

That it is all so embarrassingly stupid may actually be the point of the exercise. Remember that the leftists have this thing demonstrating their fealty to the movement by loudly and publicly proclaiming that which is obviously, utterly untrue. By abdicating any shred of dignity in this way, they sacrifice their own integrity on the altar of Marxist nonsense. “Look at me! Look what I’m willing to do for the cause! Trump is Hitler! Men can have vaginas! Joe Biden is honest and not at all demented! I will say what must be said to prevail! This is the depth of my commitment!”

And I think that is entirely correct. It is not about logic or persuasion, it is only about virtue-signaling. And it is a way to say that you are a strong member of the Lefty “tribe.” It’s all about showing your Lefty bona fides.

OK, so where does the Left go now? Well, their options are really quite limited. Without recognizing “rock bottom” and actually changing, they really have no choice but to double- and triple-down. Hence, Über-Hitler. But then again, what other choice do they have without legitimate fundamental change?

Now, they could go in the other direction. They could attack Trump and his policies substantively. But this has several problems… One is that they don’t know how to do this. Leftists haven’t had to argue for decades…The bad people are unworthy of having their ideas refuted. They should simply accept that they suck and submit.

See, for a Leftist, arguing a point is leaving their “circle of safety.” So they typically refuse to do it at all. As I have said, persuasion is the Democrat “vestigial tail.” It’s ONLY for decoration, not for use. It is the shiny laminated pig-iron Samurai sword and throwing stars on the wall.

Yup! All hat and no cattle!

I’m sure it

hurts Jon Karl to say it. And it clearly reduces Hakeem Jeffries to a blithering, avoidant heap.

But the truth is, Trump’s policies are extremely popular. I know it is a source of pain for the Left to admit, but it is true. And not just a little popular with a few people, but overwhelmingly so with most people.

And it rather shows what an uphill climb the Democrats have. The Democrat policies (such as they can be wrung out of a defensive Democrat mob) stink to high Heaven, and so they are rather forced to take a very unpopular stand in response to Trump’s very popular one. Or just say nothing. It’s a tough spot.

On one hand they feel the need to almost compulsively take the opposite of any policy that Trump has. But on the other hand, those Trump policies are quite popular. Overwhelmingly so. It is simply political suicide for Democrats to take the opposite position on many of these issues.

And Karl’s question really lays out the problem for Democrats. He said, “Is there anything that Trump is doing that you are in favor of, that you think is the right thing?”

It’s a brutal question. Almost no matter how he answers, it will be a bad political avenue for him to take. That’s why he simply did not answer the question. Him saying, “it’s early, yet” is no answer at all. It is merely a dodge. Because no matter how he answers, he is hosed. Therefore, he simply refused to answer at all.

Yeah, avoiding answers to tough questions. That’s the Democrat way…

Uhm yeah. This

Kamala plagiarism thing id a HUGE deal!

But that is the way she habitually works: She has always taken the way forward, from sleeping with the boss man to claiming whatever ethnicity is most advantageous at the moment, and many others. But understand that she is like a box of chocolates: You never know what you will get!

You only know that she is always far Left. Congenitally so.

Yeah, Trump

had the Middle East on a peaceful trajectory, and team Biden managed to screw it up! What incompetent fools! Good job, morons…

But perhaps the most bone-headed move was Biden’s rejection of Mike Pompeo and Jared Kushner’s Abraham Accords, negotiated under Donald Trump’s auspices between Israel and a growing number of Arab states. 

It was just so unbelievably stupid! Basically, their foam-flecked Trump Hatred led to them losing the peace. What stupid and evil knuckleheads!

Why am I not

surprised? George S. is nothing but a political hack dressing up as a journalist. He’s the hackiest hack who ever did hack (to paraphrase the philosopher H. Simpson).

Stephanopoulos got a soundbite he could edit to smear a Republican and then promptly cut the mic, ending any further discussion. That’s not reporting. That’s not an interview. That’s… well, that’s what you expect from a Democrat operative.

Would it kill Stephanopoulos to stop acting like a Democrat operative and conduct himself like an actual journalist just once, or would his head explode, “Scanners”-style, if he merely considered it?

Never. Woke.

Enough. Can’t these barbarians just agree to disagree? Are they so full of themselves that they really think everyone has to believe in lock-step with them? Have they never heard of, “Live and let live?”

Well yeah,

BECAUSE THEY ARE!

I’m thinking of one Lefty “friend” who is stunningly more extreme now than he was in 2003! To the point that he cannot even tolerate having friends that have differing views from him!

YOU didn’t leave the Democrats, the Democrats left YOU!

Yes, are THEY

the “Bad Guys?” <GASP!>

I linked here because I HATE the stupid paywall…

Let me try another story on you. I ask you to try on a vantage point in which we anti-Trumpers are not the eternal good guys. In fact, we’re the bad guys.

The citation is extensive. You need to read it!

Maybe YOU are the bad guy!

But the truth is, Democrats are NOT very introspective at all. I have yet to even hear of (let alone met) a Lefty who is at all introspective. In fact, they are almost universally defensively NOT into looking at themselves. So it is a “blind spot” there that is intellectual, but is primarily characterological.

They never even consider that they might be the bad guys.

CNN drama

shows the impossibility of fixing the MSM. I think that now it may well be passed the point of no return.

The recent drama at CNN is just emblematic of the fact that nearly all of America’s major news organizations are completely and utterly beyond repair.

And here’s the money quote:

Licht spent a year trying to fix CNN and failed because no one at CNN wants to admit they have a problem. 

The FIRST step in change is to admit that there is a problem. Leftists in general have been characterologically unable to take that first step!
