   The Divine Right of the Democratic Party

Progressives believe that any opposition is fundamentally illegitimate, and they’re targeting anyone with nonconforming views.

Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has a dream, a dream in which about half of the American people are deprived of an effective means of political representation, a dream of one-party government in which the Democrats are the only game in town — “Dare We Dream of the End of the GOP?” her column is headlined — which also is a dream of visiting vengeance upon those who dared to vote for their own interests as they understood them and thereby schemed “to stop the New America from governing.”

That quotation is from a new book by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg bearing the title R.I.P. G.O.P. Greenberg himself has a new column in the Times on the same theme. “The 2020 election will be transformative like few in our history,” he writes. “It will end with the death of the Republican Party as we know it . . . [and] liberate the Democratic Party from the country’s suffocating polarization and allow it to use government to address the vast array of problems facing the nation.”

We might understand the Goldberg-Greenberg position as “the divine right of Democrats,” who apparently have an eternal moral mandate to rule for reasons that must remain mysterious to those outside the ranks of New York Times columnists.

Goldberg and Greenberg should at least try to take seriously their own metaphor: polarization.

Jeez man, one would think they just 'invented' sliced bread?
There is nothing at all remotely 'new' about what they are saying.
It has existed since the beginning of history.
And it still exists today all over the world in shithole countries.
What they are describing is totalitarian dictatorships run by despots.
And they describe it with such vigor and excitement as if they just thought of this brand new idea. LOL

Liberalism is a mental disorder. It really is.
