OPINION:
Donald Trump assuming the presidency finds an unhinged political left still unable to cope with or accept the reality that President Obama’s anti-American transformation is being erased by pro-American restoration.
Conservatives did not protest Mr. Obama’s inauguration, destroy private property, shut down airports or parade around Washington in genitalia-shaped headgear with self-loathing men holding signs denouncing “the patriarchy” and “masculinity.” Karl Marx’s “useful idiots” of yesterday are today’s “social justice warriors.”
The country survived eight years of Mr. Obama and the critically-thinking-challenged majority that elected him. With therapy, Starbucks and Rachel Maddow, liberals will survive four years of President Trump.
Championing the separation of powers and federalism, plenary power on immigration enforcement and prosecutorial discretion on amnesty and sanctuary cities no longer resides with a Republican executive branch. Progressives redefine marriage, exalt the killing of the unborn to a sacramental rite, peddle climate fraud and deny gender itself under the guise of science — then label Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch as “extremist” and “out of the mainstream.”
Hypocrisy itself is the glue that holds progressive liberalism together, with a propagandist veneer of Marxist language to conceal and advance it via an enabling media. The Democratic media complex continues to abrogate its constitutional duty of a free press by embracing outright corruption over mere bias. Ignoring and obfuscating truth for the failed Obama administration, a disgraced and discredited press miraculously rediscovers its zealotry for it with Mr. Trump in office. Meanwhile America increasingly tunes the mainstream media out and off.
