OPINION:
Hollywood, the land of (non-fat) milk and (free-range) honey, make-believe, mendacity, multi-million-dollar homes and PhD candidates in social issues, has any number of residents who, before the presidential election, vowed to self-deport should anyone other than Hillary Clinton win the election. Having spent the two weeks since waking to discover their nightmare was not actually a nightmare, but something called reality (an environment with which they are largely unfamiliar), they have been in a stupor-like condition where extra large doses of drugs, crying, anger, hugging, disbelief, shock, yelling, alcohol, screaming and whimpering have been common.
Regrettably, no bag packing has been reported, but that may be because these people have employed binders full of script writers to present drafts of alternate election outcomes. Until then, prepare yourself for an incessant array of disastrous end-times forecasts. That the “basket of deplorables” at whom they look down their noses might actually have a chance at a more prosperous and productive future is more than most of these fragile flowers can handle. While their emerging plan that California secede from the United States to form its own country (with the sixth largest economy in the world) is a sterling idea, it, too, is doomed to failure.
Like Washington liberals, Hollywood leftists have not yet come to grips with the fact that they have seen the enemy and it is themselves.
