SCOTT MCKAY
AMERICAN SPECTATOR
The Democrats, as the party of the Left, are cutting their own throats. They can’t beat Trump and, as an excellent column by David Benkof at the Daily Caller earlier this week notes, they’re on course for an ugly bloodbath in next year’s midterm elections.
Why? Lots of reasons.
Consider this monument-removal binge they’re on, for one example. It started with the bowdlerization orgy of wannabe 2020 presidential candidate Mitch Landrieu in New Orleans, but now it’s virtually everywhere – New York’s resident moron mayor Warren Wilhem, who does business as Bill de Blasio, is demanding a review of all that city’s statuary, while in Baltimore they’ve removed monuments not just to confederate figures but to Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, who wrote the Dred Scott decision. And it’s happening pretty much everywhere Democrats are in control now, despite a lack of any evidence the public at large has an appetite for re-enacting ISIS at Palmyra or the Taliban at Bamiyan.
Here’s the thing. It may well be a majority of Americans might sympathize with getting rid of Jefferson Davis statues, though it’s unlikely that’s much of a majority or a very passionate cohort in the bargain. What matters, though, is absolutely nobody in this country has the slightest degree of trust that the Left will respect any limits or stop there. Everybody knows that this is just another spoke in the wheel for the social justice crowd and it’ll just build momentum for the next exercise in stupidity.
And people are exhausted with cultural aggressions from the Left. They’re ready for normality for a while. That’s why Trump’s approval rating doesn’t matter; they might think Trump stinks as a president, but they’re not going to vote him out so some wild-assed leftist like Kamala Harris or Liz Warren can turn the rest of America into Evergreen State College.
That’s what happens when you’ve overstepped your bounds and shown your contempt for the people.
Keep it up, Leftist Loons, you are the best thing that ever happened to the Right. You are the gift that keeps on giving. – The Liberator
