The Roots of Leftist Rage By Victor Davis Hanson

The Roots of Leftist Rage › American Greatness
Victor Davis Hanson


Across the political left, from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to Trump has lost its collective mind.

The House minority leader and now self-styled tough guy, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, poses with a baseball bat to show how dangerous he is in opposing Trump’s budget bill.

Jeffries harangued Congress for eight hours; Sen. Cory Booker went on for 25—both to no effect.

Bernie Sanders and AOC hit the rally trail in private jets to rail about oligarchs, omitting that the ultra-rich are not only mostly leftists but also the funders of the Democratic Party.

Sometimes the Democrats in Congress make bizarre videos, featuring profanity like f**k or s**t. On other occasions, they scream and interrupt Congress.

Some representatives now confess that they’re being pressured by their constituents to take a bullet for the cause.

When someone is angry, it is usually self-anger that gets directed outward.

The Dems are angry at themselves for losing, not understanding why they are losing, and frustrated that they can't convince people to agree with them.

It's easier for Dems to be angry for others than to admit that their policies are wrong.

- Prioritizing illegal aliens over law-abiding, working Americans is wrong.
- Dismissing inflation as 'transitory' was wrong.
- Trivializing the high cost of living is wrong.
- Imposing Global Climate Change nonsense that increased the price of energy is wrong.
- Seeing everything through the lens of race is wrong.
- Projecting American weakness is wrong.
- Wasting taxpayer money on nonsense is wrong.
- Supporting Hamas is wrong.
- Supporting anti-Semitism via remaining silent is wrong.
- Supporting attacks against law enforcement officials for doing their jobs is wrong.
- Bypassing the legislature and the legislative process is wrong.
- Insulting, degrading, and demonizing those who have a difference of opinion is wrong.

The Dems are a divided party of George Soros establishment fossil Dems and insurgent juvenile delinquent Dems.  They need anger management, charisma, and humility if they want to be nationally relevant again.

Of course they are angry.

They have spent decades projecting their beliefs, actions, and demeanor on those who disagree with them, accusing others of what they, themselves, have been doing. Naturally, with their tendency to consider an accusation, no matter how baseless, as a conviction, they are angered at the people doing all those horrible things. Yet they are ignorant of or refuse to see their own behaviour is what they rail against.

I see them doing it, and it makes me angry, but they are all the more so when those they accuse are innocent, and they can't get them to join their grifters' club.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Why should we care why they're this nuts.  We need to spend our energy working to send them to the political dustbin of history.
