But everything in the behavior of Trump’s opponents on the Left tells us they are determined to learn nothing from this past election and to double down on everything that drove voters into Trump’s camp.
Let’s start with the fact that protesting a presidential inauguration is a bad idea.
It has become their way of coping, I guess, with the rejection of their favored candidate by the American people.
This doesn’t really come across as a protest against Trump. It doesn’t even come across as a rejection of the American political system or the process of presidential succession...
They are protesting the fact that the rest of the American public isn’t good enough for them.
This all comes across as a statement of contempt for anyone who’s not on board with their political agenda. Or I should say another statement of contempt for their fellow citizens. Because that’s what the Left has been conveying all along, and it’s part of what drove people to Trump...
The strength of the religious vote for Trump initially mystified me, until I remembered the ferocity of the Left’s assault on religious believers...
A lot of Americans have become tired of being called racists and bigots...
So what are the inauguration protesters doing? Describing Trump voters as a bunch of fascists and backward redneck bigots whose opinions shouldn’t count.
