What is the phrase - nattering negativity nabobs?

Why be so negative? Do you want to be proven right? Wouldn’t you rather be proven wrong? If people give up a fight just because it’s difficult and the odds seem against them, history would be waay different. In fact, we’d have been part of the British Empire for a coupld hundred extra years.

If being realistic is being negative....then I guess you got me.

I'd love nothing more than to see Zero get exposed for the fraud that he is....

But you have folks that are swerving in and out of kooksville on this subject.....And IMO, this subject is going no where.

Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, FRiend. Sorry.......but that's how I perceive it.

fwiw-

"Nattering Nabobs of Negativism", Spiro T. Agnew, Vice President of the United States.

From Time

Agnew told a 1970 audience in San Diego, "we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism." He went after "pusillanimous pussyfooters" and "vicars of vacillation" and "the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history."
