A Righteous Saturday Night Rant powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/… via @powerlineUS
@powerlineUS If the Left were a person, it would be in a locked ward by now on twenty milligrams of haloperidol QID. But we gave up on mental hospitals decades ago.
@powerlineUS So, the Left is on the loose out there in streets, threatening to “stab mfers in the heart” one moment and ululating against gun violence in the next. …
@powerlineUS Pretty soon, America might have to start asking: what exactly is “progressive” about going insane? I think we’re getting close to answering that, and the answer is: nothing.
@powerlineUS The Left has managed to drain the meaning from the word “progressive.” We will not be able to take it seriously for generations to come (if there are any generations to come).
@powerlineUS The Left has applied every possible gimmick from the bad faith trick-bag to disable thinking in this republic generally, and the language that serves thinking.
@powerlineUS But its contorted maledictions are working mainly against itself as one preposterous idea after another bursts out of its collective pie-hole and into the blue-checked Twitter windows.
@powerlineUS Speaking of “stabbing people in the heart,” why are the “progressives” who moiled outside Senator Mitch McConnell’s house the other night not cooling their heels in a federal lock-up for threatening to assassinate a public official?
@powerlineUS That’s the usual procedure. How difficult would it be to locate them? Nobody has even asked — a peculiar development.
@powerlineUS Any decent psychological detective can conclude why the Left, including especially the Democratic Party — formerly a pillar of our political system — has gone insane.
@powerlineUS Losing a national election two and half years ago traumatized the base. In the process, the party made the rueful discovery that it was devoid of reality-based political ideas.
@powerlineUS This prompted the adoption of reality-optional excuses for failure masquerading as political ideas: Russia did it! Trump was “Putin’s puppet.”
@powerlineUS That clinically paranoid meme, and the massive investigatory activity it provoked, ended in more failure, so profound that the party still can’t face it.
@powerlineUS Kunstler is more optimistic than I am. He sees Deep State officials “about to be frog-marched into the grand juries any week now” on account of the Russia hoax. I don’t think we will be that lucky.
@powerlineUS But I do think that Americans are unlikely to vote into power a clinically insane party, as long as their votes are counted honestly.
