good grief! will there be 4 years of lefty whining?
better get those safe spaces ready with play doh and plenty of tissues.
I don't know about lefties needing safe spaces:
it's conservative fear that has driven them for the last eight years and primarily drove this last election.
Fear of progress
Fear of muslims and terrorism and muslims (the same thing, obviously)
Fear of poors
Fear of egalitarianism
Did I mention fear of progress? (the classic, and honestly respectable foundation of conservatism: historically, honest conservatives accepted change and progress, but only gradually. This current breed, however, longs for a return to Bronze Age mythologies dominating daily discourse and peaceful, Jim Crow small towns. This is not a shocking assertion, btw)
Fear of science and intellectual curiosity about the world
Contemporary Conservatives are nothing but fearful, fearful people. The liberals under their beds are the worst enemies that they can imagine. How strange is it that in nearly 2 decades of a solid march towards conservatives dominating and essentially owning 60-70% of local, state, and federal offices around this country, they still whine endlessly about being some disenfranchised minority with no proper representation, being sent to the curb under the burdensome weight of an "evil liberal social agenda!" destroying their country?
There is no controversy in what I am saying here: this is exactly what we live in today. It's mind-boggling, really. The decades of perpetual victim-hood buried within the contemporary conservative mind knows no salve that will ever come via political, social, or simple self-reflective means. They are a product of the system that tells them how to think about the world outside their houses and eschew any and all manner of critical thinking, and thus they continue to vote to perpetuate their own self-hate.
