It wasn’t that long ago that conservatives used to take swipes at “entitlement culture.” The fact that some kids felt entitled to have success and were being sheltered from the reality of the fact we sometimes don’t get our way with “participation trophies.”
Well …
Well …
Many of those same people went on to become coddlers of the most entitled brat who ever lived, who also happens to be one of the oldest brats who ever lived. A man who can’t cope with the reality that, sometimes in life, we don’t always win. We don’t always get our way.
Some tried to soothe the screaming little big guy by telling him what he wanted to hear. Others learned that there was a booming business and political market for telling his caretakers what they wanted to hear. That he didn’t lose.
“Don’t cry, Donnie. You didn’t lose, OK? Shh!”
“Don’t cry, Donnie. You didn’t lose, OK? Shh!”
And the Diaper Dude has a lot of Disciples. People who think that this is THEIR country and that winner of the election should be the person THEY VOTED for. And if you tell them otherwise, they’ll threaten a Civil War (a really big temper tantrum).
It’s just funny that some of the people who spent the most time mocking entitlement culture have become those who have spent the most effort nurturing it.
