Rage, Rage, Against the Dying of the Dream bit.ly/2xdGG9e

We’re witnessing the rage of “the American Left against the Trump Admin and the president, an explosion of frustrated, impotent (but still dangerous) anger that has given up all pretense of genuine protest—against the results of a duly constituted American election... “

“Let us remember—and has devolved instead into a toddler’s extended tantrum. It bears the hallmarks of one of the most unseemly displays in American political history.”

“It’s being conducted in the halls of Congress, where the Democrats have at last dropped all pretense of civility and shown the voters their true, foam-flecked faces.”

“It’s being waged in the media, where the ladies and gentlemen of the press, such as they are, have thrown over journalistic practices that served the profession well over the past century or so, and now regard malicious gossip and news as one and the same thing.”

“Most ominously, it is taking place in the streets where, over the past year, Republican congressmen and Trump supporters have been shot, attacked with a switchblade knife, clubbed with a bicycle lock, had their vehicles and offices vandalized and set on fire”

“The masked fascist thugs who ludicrously call themselves “Antifa,” routinely attack public gatherings, and Left wingers sporting “Say No to Hate” t-shirts scream at the sky at the very thought of Trump and his policies.”

“Not since the 1960s have we witnessed such a public breakdown in moral and psychological order.”

“Socialism is now openly a goal of the political Left, mostly mouthed by small children at the behest of their red-diaper baby grandparents.”

“Calls for violent revolution are treated by the press as reasonable reactions to the 2016 election, and #TheResistance has only been emboldened by its media cheering section as it seeks to plant the notion that they “wuz robbed” of an election they thought they had in the bag”

“What besides a profound, educationally inculcated, and emotionally juvenile hatred for the United States motivates them to such paroxysms of hysteria?”

“For the collaborationists known as the #NeverTrumpumpkins, they are personally offended by the president’s behavior and have had their skirts ruffled by his flouting of what they consider to be the sacred rules, precepts, and principles of “The Conservative Movement.”

BINGO👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

”In reality, however, most of them are simply returning to their roots as Democrats, their brief sojourn on the Right more an alliance of convenience than one of genuine principles.” @BillKristol @GeorgeWill @SteveSchmidtSES @ananavarro @BretStephensNYT

“When 63M of their formerly fellow Americans rose up and stopped Hillary cold in the Electoral College, #TheResistance lost their minds in an Achillean rage that continues to this moment and is, if anything, intensifying as it reaches its climactic breakdown.”

“The great Achilles could tell them a thing or two about rage, and where it gets you when passion is unchecked by reason.”

“Instead, they seem hell-bent on rage eternal, not to go ‘gentle into that good night’, but instead to rage, rage, against the dying of the light: the last flicker of consciousness they mistook for a dream before darkness closed in all around them.”
