In a normal election cycle, the Democrats would react to national losses by moderating. That is more or less the intention underlying our system. Our system is supposed to reward and encourage moderation on all sides. It is intended to avoid the violent swings which have done so much to fuck up Europe and other places. And by and large this has worked. We have avoided hard core socialism. We have avoided the Fascism that the Germans, who want to lecture us on political policy, were not able to. We have never had kings and queens.
But the very possibility that they can avoid the cost of their radicalism by using allies in the system Obama left behind has caused the Democrats to shift BACK to the hard Left which Obama was building his whole time in office. Rather than moderating, they are becoming more radical. Rather than becoming more reasonable they are losing their collectivist fucking minds.
I have argued in the past that the violence in Israel will only end when the refugees lose their hope that they will be allowed to move back into the homes their great-grandparents lived in. They have not lost this hope, that of the so-called “Right of Return”. The media are willing to lie for them continually. They are willing to demonize Israel for common sense measures, and to commend and support the refugees no matter how insane their actions and demands are. As long as this continues, there will be some level of violence, although it is OBVIOUS that the wall the Israelis built WORKED, very, very well.
And as long as the hope of impeachment–even if conviction and removal from office by the Senate remains a pie dream–remains, they feel they can be as crazy as they want.
We need to squelch that dream, hard. We need them to come back to Earth. Not all Democrats are lunatics, but their leaders plainly are. The American people need them to come back to Earth, to show some self restraint, some respect for the American people, for the rule of law, for common sense, for our history, for common decency.
