Trump hatred - what it predicts

Try as they will to mislead us as to their totalitarian intent, leftists just cannot avoid  offering us telling previews of how it will be for all of us should they take over permanently (their undoubted and cherished goal).

A cartoon in our local newspaper today  highlighted yet another harrowing example . It depicted  Ebenezer Trump  contemplating the image of Marley/Nixon on his door - a prelude of course to visits by cathartic spirits bent upon apprising Scrooge/Trump of his manifest perfidy. This image is thought by the overwhelmingly leftist bigoted press to be one of which the vast majority would naturally approve.

The left considers any who oppose it to be both objectively mistaken and morally reprehensible. That is because its principles are based on its expectations for the future, for which there can be no empirical evidence to support or refute their predictions.  So convenient and so typical, yes, of those whose beliefs were formed out of whole cloth in '60's dorm rooms. Objective intellectual inquiry and examination was not their style, because to them it was the way of an older generation summarily dismissed by the multitudinous "boomers".  The "boomer's" beliefs, profoundly influenced by theretofore rightfully despised radical leftist academics, with whom they fell in love, are therefore beyond controversy -" they are self evident because we say so".  "Look how we had our way, we must be correct." Actually there were so damn many of us that we could have crammed into phone booths and swallowed goldfish and still have brought down and elected Presidents. 

This has, of course, made it possible to blithely dismiss the yet very empirical history of the 20th century, replete with the incalculably monstrous crimes of the left, as simply a tactical mistake and a learning experience.  Certainly it is not, by their lights, a condemnation of their cause.  To them, 100 million deaths at the hands of leftists in power is a risk worth repeating. So much for that.

Now along comes Donald Trump, a canny courageous player and a loyal American who sees them for what they are and has the guts to say so.  Now the comparison to Richard Nixon:  Oh how the jackals of the left expect to  worry Trump unto destruction as they did Nixon.  I lived as an increasingly comprehending young adult through much of the public life of Nixon and I'm acquainted with the early part of it.  I don't know why but much of the press was already inclined left by the '50's. McCarthy?  How else to explain its excoriation of Nixon for his now proven indictment of Alger Hiss, the third ranking official in the State Dep't at one time, as a toady for the hellish and subhuman Stalin. Too bad Hiss was never given a taste of the Gulag. But another knock on Nixon was that he was perceived as being as plain and droll as Pat's cloth coat and had the temerity to rise despite the contempt accorded him by the fashionable.  One recalls the description of "JFK"s lip curling at the sight of Nixon conceding and one can sympathize with the self made Nixon's dread of yet another defeat by that silly voluptuary clan.

The nonpolitician Trump is  uncool too and that enables in those already incensed at him for having derailed their love train the most unrelenting viciousness.  In doing so they predict what they will do to all Americans who have the gall to yet embrace traditional American values after the left's "inevitable" takeover.  If the 20th century experience of the always murderous far left in power was not enough, this should be an unmistakeable warning and promise. And it should strengthen the real America's resolve to cause its defeat and unconditional surrender. Jack

Interesting. The left's visceral hatred for Trump does indeed rival (and possibly exceed) their contempt for Richard Nixon. Very different times, though. For one thing, in those days the leftist media elite WAS the media -- now it's a much more complex and "diverse" body, and I mean that in the ideological sense. That will make it hard, though not impossible, to hound Trump out of office.

Dr. Waddy: I hope so and maybe the lefties will do themselves dirt by trying. Trump is perhaps a tougher guy than Nixon too. You're right about the media then; I've tried to explain to my son how total their domination was by the left back in the 70's. It justifies and explains people like Rush and Sean Hannity I think. I disdained Nixon back then (I voted for Carter in '76) but I see him as a tragic figure now. Talk about a First Lady becoming President though - Pat Nixon would have been a good one.She was a rock.
