Power to the People

Something has been stewing in my dome. When I listened to Trump's inauguration speech I hear so much that a classic liberal would love. This concept of "bringing the power back to the people" is key. Yet, the left today is out of their heads over his election and his speech. Am I the only one who finds this curious? I know some who I have always considered intelligent leftists (they do exist...they often understand things like parental rights, homeschooling, etc) and even many of those were out marching this weekend, all up in arms. They are 100% against this guy and, clearly, aren't listening to what he's proposing. I just find it very, very curious. The opposite would be, "We're gonna rule you like a man with a little black mustache and tell you what the *&$% you're going to do for us. You got that!?" - and I think they'd cheer it. I'm left asking myself, "What is it these people want?" The only answer that sticks is - total destruction and pain.

    Perhaps you are overestimating the intelligence of the "intelligent leftists". I think they are up in arms because his speech was a frontal assault on their claim to the moral high ground, and because he is about to systematically dismantle their actual hold on political power.

    No, power to the political, ruling class! Split into two sides, each with ridiculous positions mixed in with a hint of reason but designed to polarize to the point of stagnation so neither has to singly bear the blame for the results.

    They feel they don't think, popularity is super important. They text short quips and they like on Facebook propaganda posts. It is group feel, what benefit is it to them to go against an avalanche of labeling. Let's see if I investigate and can't find the reason he is a racist , a bigot, a grabber and I want to give him a chance I'm deplorable. They did not see Obama's love of traditional U S A enemies like Cuba his pay off to Iran ,his Marxist agenda . His birth of Isis , the North Africa tragedy. Libya, Egypt ,Syria, Iraq .The trillions in debt. The ACA fraud. Sanctuary cities. Executive overreach. 19,000,000 more on food stamps. Islamic militancy phobia, The BLM anti police movement. Campaign cheating. Spirit dinners you got to be kidding me.
