Dear Democrats: I Won't Let You Exhaust Me With Your Diaper-Filling Tantrums - Stephen Kruiser - PJ Media

It's pretty safe to say that the Democratic Party's response to all things Trump since 2016 has made the party irredeemable. Conservatives of a certain age ("Present") have long talked about the kinds of Democrats we used to know. There was a wistfulness there, because we were hoping that we might one day get back to righteous sparring with the Democrats we know over policy and philosophy, and then adjourn for some adult beverages together where we discuss anything but politics.

I've written about this a lot over the years, but it bears repeating for the purposes of this column. I have spent almost my entire adult life as a conservative in the entertainment industry. Although I'm not a political comic, everyone knew that I was a conservative. For the vast majority of that time, it wasn't a problem.

Then the Trump Derangement Syndrome hysteria set in.

One might have thought that it would have diminished a bit when they managed to, um, elect Joe Biden. Nah. As I kept saying in early 2021, I had never seen a group of people so angry about winning an election in my entire life. Democrats have no problem celebrating ill-gotten gains, so that wasn't what was keeping them cranky.

There are a lot of reasons for the Dems' mental unwellness since 2016, but the biggest one it that Donald Trump shattered their sense of entitlement when he prevented Granny Maojackets from ascending her diversity throne. That's the real source of their angst. Trump's straightforwardness and unabashed patriotism add to that angst, which is delicious, but this all began because Hillary Clinton couldn't ride her husband's coattails to the White House.

While I have never been a fan of the Democrats' motivating principles, I do miss the days when they had something other than seething hatred driving them. After Hillary's fall from relevance, they've all become her.
