There’s a trend that’s been quietly, consistently rearing its ugly head against the President of the United States and his supporters since before the 2016 election. We’ve seen it among unhinged journalists, virtue-signaling celebrities, and Democratic politicians. We’ve seen it manifest in the ugliest form of hatred – the common hate-hoax – and it’s doing more to divide America than the source of the perpetrators’ anger.
They hate President Trump. They hate the people who got him elected. The hate the idea of making America great again because as much of the MAGA agenda comes to pass, they’re learning they’ve been wrong the whole time. I know first hand. I’ve been proven wrong myself.
No, I’m not a hate-hoaxer, but I’ve been against the President to varying degrees for over three years now. Before he officially won the GOP nomination in 2016, I opposed him because I felt he would do too much damage while delivering only a moderate amount of good policies. He wasn’t as bad as John Kasich or Jeb Bush, but we had Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul as better candidates. Nevertheless, he won the nomination, prompting me to spend the final leg of the 2016 election without a horse in the race. I didn’t like the idea of Trump being President, but under no circumstances did I want Hillary Clinton to be President, either.
After he won, I became a cautious but hopeful watcher. While we worked on alternatives to bring limited-government federalism to the forefront of local, state, and national politics, I took a case-by-case stance on the President himself. When he did well, I praised him. When he did poorly, I criticized him. This stance has remained until this day, though there have been times when I was more supportive or more critical, depending on the policy discussion of the day. Tax and bureaucratic cuts – good. Tariffs and bump stock bans – bad. The recent cave on the border omnibus – very bad. Most foreign policy moves (leaving Iran deal, leaving Paris accords, moving embassy to Jerusalem) – very good.
Unfortunately, it seems many on the left have been unwilling to recognize even the remotest possibility anything the President is doing is good. What’s worse is that some have been so aggressive in their desire to prove their point that they’ve pretended to be victims for the sake of getting their “victims’ perks” of love and affection from their peers while painting anyone wearing a MAGA hat as bigoted and hateful.
Thus, the anti-MAGA hate hoax was born and it’s been so prominent over the last two-and-a-half years, one must wonder how mainstream media and Democrats became so gullible that they fall for it every single time.
Andy Ngo at Quillette put together a comprehensive list of hate hoaxes that leftists have perpetrated to paint the President and his supporters as racists. It’s absolutely stunning when you see the magnitude of the hatred – THEIR hatred – that makes them willing to tell bald-faced lies just to prove the movement they oppose is as bad as they think it is.
The shooter at Sam’s Club proves just how deranged Trump haters are.
He considered their very existence in “his” space to constitute “assault!”
Thus he actually felt justified in shooting them!
Lucky for him, he missed.
Then he “couldn’t make a clean getaway” because he had to wait for his mom to finish shopping!
English is a language that used to have meanings for each word.
The Left is changing all that.
To the Left words can take on whatever new meaning is required to make them winners in some imaginary debate.
So, the “campus rape culture” has come to include asking a person out, looking at someone, even NOT talking to someone!
A Clerk who was was employoed by a Vans Shoe Store said F**** You to a Costumer wearing MAGA hat and is now looking for New Job looks like the idiot learned never to be rude to your costumers the fact that the costumer was a youth there with his Mother Too bad liberals are so stupid he should have watched his language
To be clear, the left’s hatred of Trump is not about his policies. They wanted to impeach him before he was even inaugurated; he hadn’t initiated any policies yet. No, their hatred is driven by the fact that he is NOT the one they were promised.
The left was guaranteed that they would have Hillary to follow up on Obama’s Hopey-Changey Wonderful Mystery Tour. It was a LOCK. Well, so much for the accuracy and honesty of the reporting by the liberal media; but this time, the lie backfired and generated HUGE disappointment and resentment.
That’s not something that can be assuaged by good works. They never wanted a growing economy, better trade deals, a secure border, low unemployment for those usually left out of economic growth. They wanted LIBERALISM. They wanted to know a liberal was in charge, generating rainbows and breeding unicorns all the live long day. They wanted the cornucopia of free stuff, complete with the necessary blinders to cover up the approaching bankruptcy and collapse until it is far too late.
If the growth and expansion continues, they’ll never like it. We’ll simply have to put up with their incessant whining and trying to undercut true good works.
It was just announced by one of Nick Sandmann’s lawyers (Lin Wood) that they are suing the WaPo for $250 million, the same amount Bezos paid for it. Hopefully they get every penny of it and put that once respectable paper out of business. I’m sure the lawsuits won’t stop there.
@another vet: I hope they don’t settle out of court. It should be a spectacle. It would be hilarious to watch the media ignore it.
