The liberals thought they had finally defeated the American people but the American people have rallied.

And the liberals are gnashing their teeth in frustration.

For eight years, Deplorables and Normal Americans lived under President Obama and porkulus, global apologizing, anti-Israel posturing, funeral selfies, "you didn't build that" and other goodies. Aside from The Tea Party gathering in D.C., was there ANY widespread public dissent? No. Did we see conservatives melt down and freak out en masse? No.

In fact, I'd have been EMBARRASSED had I read the following:

Think people are losing their minds over President Obama? Maybe it’s not all in your head.

The American Psychological Association is holding its annual convention in Butte, and there are no fewer than 15 symposiums, panel discussions and paper presentations devoted to the psychological ills that practitioners believe are spreading under the president.

The list of Obama-related topics at the four-day conference covers the psychic waterfront. “Metaphors and the Obama Administration: What Are Effective Responses?” “Healing Practices and Models for Conservative Students in the Obama Era.” “Gaining Perspective: Intergroup Conflict Intervention With Obama Supporters and Opponents.”

Speakers at the conference, which has drawn 11,000 psychologists from around the country, say the glut of Obama-gazing is understandable: The political world is freaking a lot of people out.

In the psychological association’s 2010 Stress of America survey, 57 percent of respondents said “the current political climate” was a top source of angst in their lives. More people were stressed out by politics than their family responsibilities (49 percent) or their health situation (also 49 percent.)

Political-related stress has never scored that high in the dozen years the organization has been putting America on the survey couch. Now, people who live in the world of the 50-minute hour are seeing poli-stress every day.

“We’re seeing it in our clients, we’re seeing it our colleagues — people are on edge,” said Fred Bemak, a Hillsdale professor who will be leading a symposium Friday on “The Impact of Global Politics and the Obama Era on Psychology.”

Students and staffers at Hillsdale were so upset after Obama's election “that we held healing sessions,” Bemak said. “People were crying.”

Folks, do you have the uncontrollable to beat people over the head who disagree with you? Redistribute wealth? Tear down walls and ban ICE? Chase conservatives out of restaurants? Try new #walkaway, the only sure cure. A product of the Russbot Corp.

Great point, BenLurkin, and that is 100% at the root of their rage. Dan Bongino spent a show a month or two ago discussing just how and why we see this dynamic.

Not only did the Left think that after 8 years of Barack Obama that they had crushed conservatism, embedded Leftism into the government at all levels, planted and nourished the huge Obamacare bureaucracy, and weakened the material readiness and eroded the leadership in the military, they thought they were going to get eight more years to entrench those Leftist things and buttress the judiciary and Supreme Court with their own extreme leftist judges.

They completely thought they had things well in hand.

Then, in a single 24 hour period on November 8, 2016, like the British Army at Yorktown, "the world turn'd upside down" for them. They thought, arrogantly, the American political landscape was all theirs, then...she lost. Badly. And they lost to Donald Trump, a man in their view who was, an uncouth, uneducated, unstable, corrupt, inexperienced, stupid, and rash man. Even worse, he actually DID love his country, something that really sticks in their craw.

And their hubris was all duly recorded and public, this clip captures it best: Video Collage: DONALD TRUMP WILL NEVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT!

After being elected, Trump has had victory after victory, some very obvious, and some not so obvious (those were worse, the ones that only percolated into their consciousness over time, because their normal irrational defenses were unprepared to filter out that kind of truth for them!) and he may be able to replace up to three Supreme Court justices before the end of HIS FIRST TERM!

EVEN WORSE, the Republicans finally grew a pair, and began using their OWN rules that THEY implemented when they were in power (regarding a simple majority in the approval of judiciary picks that they were publicly and explicitly warned against with the advice "you won't be in power forever") to approve a record number of conservative judges as a way to undo the concerted effort by the Obama administration to poison that well FOREVER.

He publicly repudiated their global warming religion and withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, on a GLOBAL stage in a Rose Garden speech characterized it as a "wealth redistribution scheme" which made their collective heads explode!

And the economy caught fire and is fueling a great economic engine, belying the Obama claim that the 'new normal' would be 1-2% GDP growth, impossible to consider otherwise, and in response to Trump's claim he would bring manufacturing jobs back to America with this classic quote (from Obama himself) directed at then candidate Trump:

“Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it," Obama said. "He just says, 'Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.' Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

But the worst, the ABSOLUTE worst for them is the Obama Spying Scandal which is now composed of three major scandals:

ONE: The Information Laundering Scandal (to be used to set up Trump)

TWO: The Human Intelligence and Signal Intelligence Abuse Scandal

THREE: The Frame-up of Donald Trump

They had him cold (they thought). They HAD him. Trump was toast. He was going down. He was 100% going to be impeached. And now, this whole scheme to frame him and bring him down is going to completely backfire and immolate them and their party, and THEY did it to themselves.

Have you ever seen the Evandar Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson fight? Mike Tyson was so sure he was going to win. He thought he was the better fighter. He thought he was going to beat Holyfield handily. And as the fight went on and on, and he became more and more infuriated and frustrated, he began to resort to dirty tactics resulting in him losing absolute control of himself and biting off part of Evander Holyfield's ear.

That, in a nutshell, is a microcosm of the Left today. Trump and Conservatives are Evander Holyfield. The Leftist Media, political machine, and The Swamp, are Mike Tyson.

All they have left now is irrationality and violence.

Partner, I could not have said this any better!!!

I love it that we finally got ourselves a really great POTUS. The right arm of the Rat party is the Fake News MSM and the Rat party is the party of the Communists/Socialists/Anarchists folks that they turned out to be.
