Actually, it’s our Constitution and our Republic that are disrespected.

POTUS trump is just the Messenger.

More sycophantic writing from the never trumpets of hot air - it’s not diestepect at all.

It’s because the left has become completely unhinged and abandoned America outright for a socialist utopia. They care not for law - they care not for the constitution - they care not for independent thought and most of all - they care not for liberty but an oppressive imposing government to be used at will against anybody that stands in their way.

In short - they’re unAmerican.

That is why Trump maintains his support and it confounds and pisses off the left that we would choose individuality and self-sovereignty over a candy land utopia.

A Candyland utopia that they’ve been promising for 70 years and NEVER delivered on.

Vote Trump—or let the Democrat Commies Impeach him and Pence and make Nancy P. President! She would select Hillary as her VP—Then resign.

The patterns may be similar, but the Obama shift had a whole different set of voters than the Trump shift did.

Those shifting to Obama were voting for his promised pie-in-the-sky Obamaphones, Obamacare, etc.

Those shifting to Trump were voting for a whole different set of promises -- closing the border, building the wall, improving the economy, JOBS, etc.

The elections of Obama and Trump were as different as night and day.

the dems and their media allies have already doubled down and triple downed on calling anyone and everyone who voted for Trump and evil, deplorable being, not even a real person. You see it on CNN, MSNBC every hour of every. You see it every single “award show” where all the limousine liberals pat themselves on the back, and then attack those who watch their crap on TV, at the movies or buy their crappy music.

After the 2016 election, the NYT ran an editorial saying that they were going to engage in some introspection to figure out where they went so wrong in their predictions. From what they’ve done since the election, it appears that they concluded that they didn’t attack Trump and his voters enough.

Disrespected by the media, hollyweird, academia, the dem’s, and the rest of the leftist cabal; yes.

I was a bit disappointed in Trump signing the budget in which he didn’t get the funds for the border or wall but a more pressing issue of funding our military was accomplished so I decided to be patient for now.

Of course I will vote against Nan and Upchuck, but even if we lose the Senate, the Dems will never get 2/3 to impeach. In fact, if they try impeachment it could very well set Trump up for reelection in 2020. The backlash could be huge.

Translation: if progs didn’t act so immature, smug, angry and condescending, they would be able to convince more people to buy into their murderous Stalinist collectivism.

This imbecile could not be further from the truth. They will never get it nor admit it.

liberals are in local newspapers, talk radio newsrooms (not necessarily the hosts, though those exist too) and local tv “news” organizations.

many of them are young, new graduates of schools that have imbued them with the taint of statism.

“The nerve of those backwards Nazi cretins to think we unbiased heroes of the media have any disrespect for them.”

Bingo. All real Americans need to do to see the contempt in which Northeast/Left Coast Letists hold them is turn on the TV...or listen to any of a number of entertainers talk about politics or watch the lying MSM. Its right there on full display all day every day.

The article is right. Snobbery, condescension and a holier than though attitude are at the very heart of progressivism. They will never be able to stop. They will simply double down - as the media has done ever since Trump was elected. They will continue to scream that anybody who does not agree with them is a backward, hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, uneducated, knuckle dragging, inbred redneck deplorable.

and Trump will beat their asses again in 2020. It will be glorious. :^)

It’s amazing how people who have been proven wrong so often can still thibk themselves smarter than everyone else.

Wise analysis, Skywise.

The story decries only progressive “attitudes”, but as you point out, it’s their belief system as much as their haughtiness.

A truly unbalanced story meant to deceive.
