"Boo!"
Fear which is not rationally justifiable is still fear. It’s natural for us to want to have a bit of fun in private reflecting on how ridiculous these people are. But I’m serious, please be patient and compassionate. Real fear for irrational reasons is related fear.
"Boo!"
Once upon a time, I fell for all of the fear-mongering about a Reagan presidency. Reagan was a war-monger, he was going to start WW III, he would eliminate all rights for women, etc. The litany actually has not changed much in the years since Reagan, and is pretty reliably trotted out for every Republican candidate.
But that fear-mongering is limited in its effectiveness. People are taught to overcome phobias through exposing them to the object of their fear. Eventually, they realize that the horrible things that they imagined the object of their fear would cause do not happen. Eventually, they lose their fear.
When all of the horrible things that they imagine Trump will cause do not happen, some of them, at least, will realize that there was nothing to fear all along, and become resistant to the fear-mongering tactics.
The Left has provoked and spread fear to advance its nefarious agenda. One of the most powerful weapons against its agenda and the fear it spreads is ridicule.
Actually I was thinking along the lines of how do we salvage this ‘snowflake’ generation?
Terrified? Really? What the hell propaganda are they getting to be terrified after an election? What is this schism between fantasy and reality?
Paranoia? That’s a mental condition. And they need very real mental health help. The DNC should be ashamed of doing this, teachers ashamed of grooming them with fear.
It's also still irrational.
And "irrational reasons" is an oxymoron.
