Democrat Derangement


I don’t know about you, dear reader, but my impression is that the Earth is getting real close to spinning out of its orbit. Previously level-headed people now seem hell-bent on making outright silly statements ... driven by some internal angst about Trump’s constant tweeting of his mind. Presidents are not supposed to do such nonsense. They are supposed to gulp when the opposition megaphones their inanity ... and hope America will ignore it. Not Trump! He will respond to the most innocuous slight or “fake news” with his own take on things ... which is often maddeningly reflective of America’s collective common sense. If Trump is patriotic, then they, like Kaepernick, hate their country.

This Democrat derangement drives the media and other vacuous pundits to extremes ... to the point where they double down on their original craziness. “Trump is a dictator for holding a July 4th celebration that honors our military.” “Trump is trying to kill immigrant children in his concentration camps on the Mexican border.” “Trump wants to get the US into a full-out shooting war with Iran!” “Trump is a white supremacist, misogynist, homophobe, anti-Semite, Islamophobe, racist ... and a Nazi to boot!” All said with a spittle-flecked certainty and a knowing smirk.

Do these knee-jerks not see their growing mindlessness when compared to yesterday’s partisanship? Perhaps not ... or is it that they are driven by a manic compulsiveness that has captured their souls? Whatever the reason, at some point an event is bound to shake them out of their crazed illogic and return them to a semblance of sanity ... red-faced and in self-denial. The Mueller Report could have done it, but it only turned up the heat ... possibly on purpose.

What will occur to jolt Democrats back to reality I can’t predict ... but, hopefully, it will not be Armageddon ... inspired by a foe’s misreading of our current divide.
