Progressives Devolving: President Trump effectively destroyed his opponents' identities--everything they think, believe in, embrace, base their behavior on, agree with their friends about, What we've been witnessing is their pitiful reactions
It's easy to deride the aberrant behavior of the leftists we've been unhappily witness to, both over the course of the presidential campaign and particularly since Donald J. Trump ascended to the presidency on November 8th, 2016. After all, they've never recovered from the Bush v Gore race of 2000!
But as a wise neighbor told me years ago about an exceptionally vile person we both knew, "She's more to be pitied than scorned."
At the time, this seemed overly charitable to me. But as the decades have elapsed and I've watched progressives consistently acting so infantile, it is clear that their limited repertoire--hurling of insults and obscenities, public temper tantrums, wanton destruction of property, idle threats to leave the country, physical assaults on people who disagree with them, engaging in serial lies of increasing magnitude and pepper spraying mothers and children marching in support of President Trump--dictates that they are indeed more to be pitied than scorned.
