Hatred in America, 2019

It's amazing. It is utterly amazing. Over two years after Donald J. Trump was elected president of the United States, liberals are still acting like toddlers whose lollipop just got taken away from them. Why won't liberals just get over it?

Honestly, if it weren't so damaging to the republic, it would be funny. Oh hell, it IS funny! It's like they're competing against one another for who can make the biggest fool out of themselves, and it is amusing to watch. 

"He's a racist!" "He's a Russian spy!!" "He's mentally unbalanced!" "He's unfit for the presidency!"

I'm waiting for "He's an alien, planted among us to destroy the universe!"

That's how silly they sound. And it is humorous. But it's also destructive to our country.

The hatred that liberals are displaying for our duly elected president is literally derailing our system of government. They are so hyper-focused on finding a way to bring him down, to un-do what the American people have, by fair and legal means, decided, that they are ignoring the real and serious problems that face this country. 

Much has been said in the past few years about the level of hatred that is swirling through American society since Trump was elected, and that seems to be accurate. However, it is not the fantasy of rampant racism and intolerance emanating from Trump and his supporters, it is the hatred of Trump himself and his followers by liberals that has sent the wheel of hatred spinning through our national discourse.

From conservatives being banned from social media, again and again, to attacks in restaurants and airports on conservatives, to chasing conservative speakers (literally) from college campuses, to punching people wearing MAGA hats.... yes, the hatred is there, and it's coming almost entirely from the left. (go ahead and cite the few incidents of violence perpetrated by conservatives and make a list, two columns... one will be hugely longer than the other, I promise)

The world stage is in a precarious position right now, with the middle East a veritable tinder box, India and Pakistan waving nukes at one another across the border, China rampantly stealing our technology (including military) and surreptitiously establishing land bases in international waters, North Korea building and testing nuclear missiles that can reach the U.S. and Russia hell bent on sowing discord among us to disrupt the smooth transition of power and unbalance our republic. And the liberals are worried about the last ten years of Donald Trump's tax returns.

Their visceral hatred for him not only blinds them to serious issues around the world, it warps their judgement at home as well. The liberals know very well that a wall at the southern border, in areas where such structures are appropriate, would drastically decrease the flow if illegal aliens, drugs, human trafficking and gang infiltration at our border. Of course they know that. But their hatred of Donald Trump himself has rendered them totally incapable of relying on reason to make decisions regarding our southern border. 

Liberals know that babies born alive cannot be murdered on the table. Of course they know that. But, as with the wall, they cannot allow Trump to have a "win" with his base. They must prevent him from any and every possible success, even when his achievements are helpful to the United States of America. Hatred for Trump comes first, last and only, well-being of the nation be damned.

That this puts liberals in with the same playground name-calling as a group of seven-year-olds goes without saying. But it really is surprising how few seem even capable of addressing national concerns at all, so great is their focus on destroying Trump. The nation's business is being largely ignored in this era of "let's get him!", much to the disgrace of the vast majority of those on the left. 

Let us hope that we do not suffer a major event, such as a large-scale terrorist attack, cyber attack or destruction of the grid while half the law-makers' focus is on bringing down a president. They will not be ready to deal with such a catastrophe, so great is their day-to-day compulsion to destroy the reviled commander-in-chief. Their childish, unmitigated hatred is destructive, precludes progress on real national issues, and is, frankly, dangerous. 

While it is tempting to shake our heads and chuckle at the absurd conniptions of the left, they need to be shown what fools they are making of themselves and wake up to the disservice they are doing to their country. They should know that they, not Donald J. Trump are, in 2019, the fountain of hatred and the country's great disgrace.
