Why the left keeps saying Trump is a Nazi, fascist, tyrant or buffoon
The Mercury News ^ | July 6, 2018 | Victor Davis Hanson

Key Trump administration officials have been confronted at restaurants. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) urged protestors to hound Trump officials at restaurants, gas stations or department stores.

Progressive pundits and the liberal media almost daily think up new ways of characterizing President Trump as a Nazi, fascist, tyrant or buffoon. Celebrities openly fantasize about doing harm to Trump.

What is behind the unprecedented furor?

Just as Barack Obama was not a centrist, neither is Trump. Obama promised to fundamentally transform the United States. Trump pledged to do the same and more — but in the exact opposite direction.

The Trump agenda enrages the left in much the same manner that Obamacare, the Obama tax hikes, Obama’s liberal Supreme Court picks and the Iran nuclear deal goaded the right.

Yet the current progressive meltdown is about more than just political differences. The outrage is mostly about power — or rather, the utter and unexpected loss of it.

In 2009, Obama seemed to usher in a progressive revolution for a generation.

Democrats controlled the House. They had a supermajority in the Senate. Obama had a chance to ensure a liberal majority on the Supreme Court for years....

This type of behavior might have worked in the 1950s or 1960s...if you look around today, people mostly laugh. You see Democrats each day who are taking the ‘red-pill’ and walking away from the Democratic Party. There’s probably a minimum of a million Democrats from 2016’s election, who won’t vote Democrat anymore. If they keep up the act, by 2020....there’s probably three million ex-Democrats identifying themselves as GOP members.

well that’s funny at first.

but what has happened is that an increasingly godless country (the liberals gone profligate and the conservatives gone barbarian) is splitting into two pieces that the Lord never intended to be split.

hypocrisy yes... however, the entire country has become immersed in something coarse and ungodly.

Obama won because he was black and enough republicans were guilted into voting for him. But nothing about him was genuine, from his phone BC to sealed records to his lack of accomplishment in anything. Trump is the exact opposite - a man of accomplishment who is exactly who he appears to be.

At some deep level even the democrats know Obama was a fraud even though the could never admit it, and at the same level they know Trump is winning, and why. Living in a state of denial and cognitive dissonance is driving them literally crazy.

A short and concise article for the long winded one, in a rabid leftist newspaper no less. Amazing on both counts.

There’s much less hidden about Donald than there was about Obama. Donald appears to have been a playboy on the QT (hence the Stormy Daniels scandal) but that’s not a problem infesting the White House itself.

Have we all forgotten Dubya’s years in office? The Left is just acting like they have always acted when a Republican is President. They said the exact same things about both Bushes, and Reagan.

Yes that seems to be the one. Better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven.

Well I’d say the volume of Democrat mouth froth has significantly increased comparing the Trump situation to the Bush situation. Bush almost never poked back. Trump does it with gusto.
