Something I Don't Get About the Left
I have had conversations with several anti-Trump lefties over the past couple years. I repeatedly see something that I find very troubling. For me...the President's young son is off limits. The first lady is too. Even when M. Obama would do goofy, irritating stuff I didn't approve of the public BS people flung at her. That's just me. But, the avid anti-Trump people I know are pretty open that the First Lady and even Barron are fair game. I find this really disgusting. What's more concerning is that there are so many people (based on extrapolation) that feel this way. I'll see a nice tweet by the first lady, followed by the most disgusting insults. She'll thank an African host after a stage of her trip, and the responses are so disgusting. I don't think I'll ever get this. Just in talking to a leftist I'm very close to last night I had to actually point out some of the disgusting things (Henry Fonda) said about Barron and follow up with "where do you draw the line?" The answer? "Well, ah...." Just a total inability to admit that children shouldn't be attacked or threatened.
I mention it because I think it bodes very badly for our country. It indicates we are ripe to take an ugly turn....

It's called guilt by association. The Right doesn't play that game. We judge individual cases on individual merits. The Left, not believing in any such concept as "the individual," will cheerfully attack the families and any known associates of their enemies.
They lack the ability to view (introspect) their own behavior...that is a trademark of a non-conscious entity.
How they got that way is another story but we find that on the far left, social justice warriors, marxist/socialist (democratic socialist) and post modernist.
These ideas and idiot-ologies essentially wipe out the mind.
Me and my wife decided to have a drink at a local Indian casino in California. While there, an older woman overheard our conversation and asked to know my opinion; she said she was a reporter from Great Britain. “Okay” I said and then the quick descend into a shallow conversation about Trump. She asked a few questions about our political system and how we needed more than two parties, which I replied that we do, just not popular. She insisted that we only have two… Then she brought up Trump and I clearly knew this was about her opinion. She spoke how we are the embarrassment of the world… The end of the conversation from this woman began with the words “I hope Putin drops the bomb on all of you (meaning on the US as a whole)”. I didn’t take this lightly nor did she mean it, she was out for blood and we left telling the bartender that she had enough. Her face kind of changed when she said that from an elderly woman into a hideous troll. Normally I would write her off as a crazy lunatic, but I have witnessed this kind of behavior from many, not in isolated incident.
My point, we are children when it comes to irrational thought. The power of the idiot is awe inspiring, we cannot understand it or harness it, it is outside of our understanding but make no mistake, the idiots are useful tools and we are soft metal between the tool the anvil. Not enough of us to even begin to resist. Not being gloom, just the way I see it.

Peter Fonda...my mistake.
