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....

I’d like to keep a running total of leftist rags who are starting to hedge their bets. The #walkaway phenomenon needs to be carefully gauged.
I hope you are right because when Trump wins the next round, there is gonna be trouble like we have never seen before.
I now carry a loaded pistol all the time. Never did that before and if one of these little SOB’s press one of my buttons...
All these “Nazi, racist, Hitler” references are so overused that they’ve become tiresome to the point of meaningless. It’s all the Moonbats have left...
They are screaming so loud because they know they are so losing.
#11. Since James Carville is now a longtime loser, let’s change his name to reflect that. He’s now going to be known as James “Usedcarville”, the Raging, Insane Cajun.
Would you buy a “used car” from this man? If so, when he asks you after the sale, “You want a transmission with that?”, you know it is time to run like hell.
That was Miton, but I get the point.
They put all their eggs in her basket and she backed up, stepped on all the eggs and and squished all them little suckers flat.
Pardon me, while I shed me a little tear.
It’s weird you never hear Godwin’s Law thrown around by the left anymore. Da*n hypocrites!

“Obama won because he was black and enough republicans were guilted into voting for him”
That is an interesting statement. What about being too pragmatic to understand how somebody could be guilted into doing anything privately. Which voting is.
Stepping in that booth is a private moment, and I would think that people vote consciously based on observation coupled with experience (i.e. pragmatic). That is to say, independently.
They’re scared about #WalkAway. It’s now being blamed on THE RUSSIANS! LOL, so delusional.
It sounds just as stupid coming from either side.
Mercury News: “You’ve reached your article limit for the month.”
Apparently, my article limit was zero.
Two reasons.
One, for the past decade or two a standard tactic of the left has been (and continues to be) to accuse the right of being or doing all the terrible things the left actually is and does. Fascism, racism, rejection of diversity, various phobias, etc. If you actually look at the attitudes and behaviors on the left, they are textbook examples of all these things.
Two, by characterizing President Trump and his supporters this way they can justify (at least to themselves) treating him and us as badly as they would want. Consider, if you truly believed someone or some organization was going down the path of German political leadership in the 1930's again - wouldn't you do virtually anything to stop it? Wouldn't almost anything (short of the genocide you would be trying to prevent) be justified? I'll admit obama's "I've got a pen and a phone" comment a few years back seriously scared me. Therefore, by demonizing President Trump and his supporters the left can wield the only power they have remaining - emotion. On virtually every front in politics, economics, legal, international, etc. they and their policies are losing every day. Some days a little, some days a lot. It terrifies them. Their fall from power has been meteoric.
These conditions make them afraid, desperate, and therefore dangerous. The political left - the socialists using fascist techniques and methods - are the single biggest threat to the US. Not Iran, not NK, not China or Russia. The left is the only entity with the means to actually, seriously damage the ideas and ideals of freedom and liberty in the US.
Hasn’t the Demonrats started calling themselves the Socialist Democratic party? Would that not mean they are the USA national socialist party? So then aren’t1 they the country’s NAZI PARTY? Plus now aren’t they encouraging their NAZI youths (brown shirt equivalent) to harass others? Did not thus type of action lead to the holocaust? Conservatives get your concealed weapons permits. Now you can see why the Democrats are pushing so hard for gun control.
The Left has been doing this since at least the start of the PC era in the late 1980s. Anybody who disagrees them is immediately labeled racist Nazi Hitler......because as we all know, only racist Nazi Hitler could ever disagree with a Leftist.... :rolleyes:
The hard-Left’s behind the scenes networks (workers of all sorts who are not the elected policians and not media known faces) in the Democratic Party and the mass media has been immense, and more so than the average person knows.
Their size in the “Liberal” institutions is a factor in the reaction the nation is seeing in their huge loss with Trump’s election - an entire nationwide very influential hard left army has been sidelined, as far as American national policy goes.
The pushing for civil war, even if only socially is a result of how their size magnifies the anger among them. They are not just a few voices talking to nobody. They are a few million bells all going off inside the same bubble.
I suspect a great many of them are going to be heading to the 1960s “radical Left” style violent zone and like the 1960s “radical Left” feeling morally self-justified in doing so.
I put the “radical Left” in quotes because all it really is is the true and natural Left which is authoritarian, and when it is winning it’s mood is calm, but inside that authoritarian is sceaming to get out, to admit what the Left is. The “radical Left” just quits publicly suppressing the true authoritarian nature of the Left.
Ask them to specify and they’re gagged.
So, the left lost to a buffoon.
The left’s smartest people in the world, Obama and Hitlery, lost to a real estate agent from New York!
