The Left’s War on America is Just Getting Started
Trump supporters hear Biden’s platitudes, see his phony, cadaverous smile, and expect nothing but unremitting hostility. And they are right.

Joe Biden and his allies have condemned Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election as an attack on democracy, the latest, most extreme violation of our most sacred “norms†by a tyrant and a party of traitors in his thrall.
The Supreme Court, lapsing momentarily out of a state of “illegitimacy†to which it had been corrupted by the appointment of a single conservative justice, made clear how low the Republican Party had sunk when it refused Trump’s Texas lawsuit. It’s clear then: Biden won, and it’s time for the Trumpers to accept reality.
But all is not lost. In pious speech after pious speech, Biden is making his commitment to “healing†the country very clear. The vanquished will be treated with mercy, not hostility. There is still room in this country for all of us, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, white and black.
True “healing,†though, requires compromise. It means acknowledging that both sides are at least legitimate. And it is undeniable now, if it was not before Trump’s presidency, that the Left has no desire to coexist with conservatives. Listen carefully and Biden’s “healing†has an antiseptic resonance. It seems that the task is not to unite a bitterly divided country, but to clear out an infection.
The idea that runs through the Left’s behavior the last four years is simply this: Trump and his supporters are like a disease. They’re illegitimate, immoral, criminal, insane, racists who have no place in America. The Left doesn’t even conceal feeling this way anymore.
What did Trump and his supporters do that was so evil? Their transgression, the unforgivable act, was not against “democracy†but against the Left and their rules, most of all that holiest of “norms†which says that conservatism can only exist as controlled opposition. For the Left, this is an unquestionable article of faith. This is why they hate Trump so passionately: unlike the Republican Party, Trump at least gave them a hard time. His rise was an assertion of will by a part of the country that got sick and tired of being despised, when the accepted norm is that they are supposed to celebrate being despised. They dared to say no to the Left and the Left’s plans to transform America.
