http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/29/blue-state-blue-nightmare-envy/The Harvard literary scholar Philip Fisher coined the phrase “nightmare envy” to describe the peculiar desire among intellectuals living comfortably in the West to experience the real struggles of people elsewhere.
As President Donald Trump’s first year ends with successes in both foreign and domestic policy, Democrats and #NeverTrump Republicans are plagued by “nightmare envy,” since the dictatorship they warned about has failed to materialize.
The reality is that Democrats were silent, at best, when Obama actually attacked our institutions — when he usurped the Senate’s power to review treaties, and even to control its own calendar; when he defied the courts in imposing an oil drilling ban in the Gulf of Mexico; when he re-wrote the Obamacare law without the approval of Congress; when he spent money Congress never allocated; when he suspended immigration law enforcement; and on and on.
As for the media, even journalists who hate Trump admit he is more accessible than his predecessor. Obama continued to show his contempt for the press this week when he gave his first post-presidential interview to… Prince Harry.
