the Robert B. Reichhhhs<\/a>, all of these people are just in a genuine psychological mess. They\u2019re in a real political mess because, I mean, they\u2019re strong in California, they have electoral strength in New York, but in terms of national power, it has eroded.<\/p>\nNow, that\u2019s not to say they couldn\u2019t reclaim it in future elections, but they have lost it consistently. They\u2019ve been losing it now for eight years steady, and it hasn\u2019t mattered what Republicans are on the ballot, it has not mattered. While Romney was losing, the Democrats were being voted out of office in the House and the Senate, in governorships, in mayors. When Trump wins, the Republicans won even bigger. And the Democrats lost even more.<\/p>\n
So why are the Democrats in this position? Well, here\u2019s my theory. I think it\u2019s mostly due to Obama and the Clintons and the media. The success of the Clintons and the success of Obama and the media reporting on those two families with adulation and unopposed love has created an illusion among average, ordinary American leftists and Democrats that they were a growing and burgeoning majority and that everybody other than a select few really screwball right-wingers agreed with them.<\/p>\n
They have been lied to by the media. They have been misrepresented by the media. The Clintons, it turns out that there wasn\u2019t all this personal adulation for Bill Clinton and none for Hillary. It turns out that the adulation for Barack Obama had more to do with his race and the historical component of his election than it was to do with his policies, which were the transformation of America.<\/p>\n
Look, the more Obama worked on and the closer Obama got to transforming this country away from its founding, the more strident the opposition became to Obama. But the media didn\u2019t report that. The media reported the exact opposite. The media created illusions just like they did during this campaign. They created the illusion that Trump barely had 35% support, that Hillary was a landslide winner, that the country at large was laughing at Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Never mind those big crowds. Never mind them. They\u2019ve been lied to. They\u2019ve been lied to by their teachers. They have been lied to by Hollywood. They\u2019ve been lied to by every image maker that\u2019s out there, that they have been smoking the opposition and that they\u2019re in the midst of turning this country into a socialist paradise, that it in fact may have already happened. But there\u2019s been something else happening at the same time as the media lying to the Democrats about how rosy things were, about how loved the Clintons were, and about how loved and admired Obama was.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nobody left in the Democrat Party that knows how to get out of the mess they\u2019re in. And the evidence for that, the evidence of that is look what they think they have to do. Raise hell on the streets. Cause fires, hope to blow up buildings, throw rocks at cops, do this kind of thing, or worse. This is not how you build electoral movements. This is hate.<\/p>\n
Go look at what Martin Luther King said about hate. You can\u2019t sustain it. And you can\u2019t successfully build anything positive out of hate. You can\u2019t grow it. You cannot effect things in an uplifting, positive way via hate. And they are the biggest hate group in the country today, the Democrat Party and its acolytes. And not only are they filled with people that hate, they\u2019re literally overflowing with genuinely deranged and unhinged — I mean this in a clinical sense — people.<\/p>\n
So they are reduced to all they have, because they do not have a single political leader that can get them out of this mess. Not right now. They don\u2019t have a bench. Yeah, might have been Julian Castro. They don\u2019t have a bench, got nobody to get \u2019em out. So what do they do? They think these marches and they think these riots and they think this resistance is a unifying thing. And they think they can build the next big thing on it, because the Tea Party did. The Tea Party was not rooted in hate. The Tea Party was not even a political movement when it started. It was average, ordinary Americans from the grassroots that had never been in politics before fed up with what the political system was doing.<\/p>\n
These people claimed that all they gotta do is reenact the Tea Party? These people are political from the moment they wake up until they wake up, they are political 24\/7. They\u2019re schemers, they\u2019re calculators, they\u2019re bullies. There\u2019s nothing average, common, ordinary about them in the sense of citizenship. They are activists through and through. And they have been losing. But here\u2019s the real thing that I think has been going on. I\u2019ve referenced this a couple times recently in a pretty focused way, but I didn\u2019t quite take it this far. I\u2019ve talked about victimhood and the real restricting nature of victim.<\/p>\n

<\/a>She made the claim in a Huffington Post video titled, “Ashley Judd describes being triggered by Trump.” And she\u2019s wearing one of those pink vagina hats, only they\u2019re not called vagina hats. Remember those things from — by the way, you know, there\u2019s another big women\u2019s march<\/a>. Wait \u2019til you hear who the three organizers are. Just wait \u2019til you hear it. I\u2019ll get to that in due course.<\/p>\n
