What has transformed the Democratic party into an anguished progressive movement that incorporates the tactics of the street, embraces maenadism, reverts to Sixties carnival barking, and is radicalized by a new young socialist movement? Even party chairman Tom Perez concedes that there are “no moderate Democrats left,” and lately the rantings of Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez confirm that diagnosis.

...

Obama had promised leftists — in his prior brief tenure in the Senate he had compiled the most partisan record of his 99 colleagues — that his social-justice methods and agendas would lead to a proverbial “permanent Democratic majority.” Do we remember the February 2009 Newsweek obsequious cover story “We Are All Socialists Now”?

...

Progressives once thought that Obama was their godhead and their assured pathway to permanent power. In those heady days of 2009, the American system of government was still deemed wonderful. Conservatives were bitter dead-enders, and the country was in the process of being fundamentally “transformed.” Basking in the rites and rituals of her role as first lady, Michelle Obama had finally learned, by her own admission, to be proud of her country.

...

Hillary’s defeat caused unimaginable shock. It almost immediately prompted a collective psychological meltdown. The tragedy was not just that an inept Clinton had squandered the gifts of a $1 billion war chest, the deep-state collusion of the Obama administration, and a completely captive and obsequious media. But she had lost to Trump, the reality-TV-show host, the controversial raconteur, the first serious presidential candidate with neither military nor political experience.

...

Progressives soon woke up to the reality that without power they were unable to stop Trump, and so they embraced any desperate means necessary to trap the ogre. The effort proved as frenzied as it was impotent: boycotting the inauguration, suing over state voting machines, using the courts to stymie Trump appointments and executive orders, appealing to the emoluments clause and the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, and winking and nodding at the assassination chic of celebrities and politicos such as Johnny Depp, Peter Fonda, Kathy Griffith, Madonna, Robert de Niro, Snoop Dogg, and a host of others. The many methods to subvert Trump’s presidency or fantasize about his gory death were as varied as the number of faux-accusers who would come out of the woodwork to smear Brett Kavanaugh. And the result was eerily the same: the more the impotent frenzy, the more it discredited its source....

You remind me of a prairee nigger I knew who would repeat the same tired shit daily. :)

You remind me of a sniveling racist to yellow to walk out onto the Prairie and tell that shit to an American Indian.:rolleyes:

This doesn't make any sense, guy.

I mean, what if the sniveling racist were to purple or to fuschia for walking out instead of to yellow? There's all sorts of options under the rainbow!

You're just being a colorist here, man!

If he was purple he'd be a people eater, if he was pink he'd be a Democrat. :rolleyes::D

Fuck yourself, Housesquaw.

I'm not like your former "off-board bro", hiding behind alts.

I'm certainly not afraid of a guy like you who tips over putting on his underwear in the morning.
 
"Maenadism"?! Democrats roam the woods at night, getting drunk and tearing bull-calves apart with their bare hands in honor of Dionysos?!

I never got invited to that! :mad:
 
I've never had much use for VDH, but I have to admit his belief that liberals are awaiting their orders from Snoop Dogg gave me a nice laugh.
 
Has AJ, the definitely not 45 ball washer, ever talk smack about republicans?
 
...embraces maenadism...

Ahahahahahahahahaha
*gasps*
Hahahahahahahahahaha

Just say “uppity, hysterical bitches” you chauvist pig.

They still won’t fuck you.
