Donald Trump
has been an American celebrity for nearly as long as I can remember. Before he ran for POTUS if anyone had asked for
my opinion on him as a person I would have said that I don’t find him very
likeable, but certainly there was no reason to hate him. I don’t think I’d
be going out on a limb to guess that most Americans didn’t have a strong opinion
one way or another about this outspoken, well-known mega-celebrity before he committed
the unforgiveable sin of depriving Hillary Clinton and Democrats of their
rightful entitlement to the office of the presidency. But now, according to so many leftists
opining in the comments sections on Fox News, Trump is the most hated man in the
world. “Everyone hates him,” one commenter smugly assured me, as if to
suggest that he or she had personally polled every person on the planet. Whoever said group think was dead?
The Left’s
hate factory has been working overtime since Trump’s election. Terms like “fascist,
racist and white supremacist” roll easily off the tongues of know-it-all
college kids and apparently have taken on entirely new meanings as the Left
resorts to their time-honored and generally successful practice of destroying
our language in pursuit of their agenda, which currently happens to be their
war on Trump, aka “the resistance.” Oh
what noble warriors are they, furiously crossing out words in our dictionaries
and defiantly scribbling in their new definitions! Hatred is being manufactured from whole cloth
like Rumpelstiltskin’s fairytale spinning of straw into mountains of gold, and
the righteous robots on the Left are, as usual, oblivious to their own Orwellian
behavior.
I could talk
about the complete absence of evidence for the Left’s specious labeling or how
peculiar it is that a popular, flamboyant celebrity who regularly hobnobbed
with powerful politicians and influential celebrities apparently hid his fascism
and racism from them so well until the age of 70, when it was suddenly and conveniently
discovered by his enemies (like planted drugs discovered by crooked cops, lol). Or I could talk about how Georg W. Bush was a
“fascist” before Trump came along according to geniuses like Naomi Wolf,
Keith Olbermann and so
many other
leftists who like this game, or how Reagan was a “racist”
long before Bush and Trump. But
nah. Once again I think I’ll pass on
following the Left’s trail of breadcrumbs into that rabbit hole where I’m
supposed to play a silly game of arguing with liars as if they were the least
bit sincere.
The average
leftist on the street or college campus knows that he or she is supposed to
hate Trump for being a “fascist, racist and white supremacist” because that’s
what they’ve been told by other leftists.
It matters not that they can’t
define fascism, that “racist” means nothing as a consequence of the Left’s cynically
evolving stance which says all
white people are racists, or that the white supremacist charge is just
laughable. The powers that be blew their
dog whistles, and the well-trained dogs obeyed.
If they are told they must hate Trump, then hate Trump they will. Just don’t ask them to explain why.
Please don’t
get me wrong. This isn’t a post about hate
per se. Hate is sometimes appropriate, that’s
undeniable. This post is about manufactured hate. It’s about a mindset that confuses the
serious issue of politics and people with a frivolity that is better suited to
fashion. You know, like when you packed your
beloved mini-skirts and bell bottoms off to Goodwill because the powers-that-be
told you they were passé. The styles of
the day are dictated by a handful of so-called “trendsetters,” and that may be
okay, but hate shoudn’t be dictated from on high.
Some three
and a half years ago I wrote a post entitled: Obama
Deserves to be Hated. Growing up
I had been taught not to throw the “h”-word around lightly. To hate someone was serious business. So I wrote that post only after some deep
soul-searching about whether I wanted to go there. My purpose was to let Americans know that it’s
okay – necessary even – to hate those whose intent is to rob us of what is rightfully
ours as Americans, even – no especially – when they do so surreptitiously. I’ll leave it to you to decide if I was fair
or not, but I challenge anyone to claim that I allowed myself to be used as someone
else’s pawn.
I’m not
necessarily going to suggest that the Left’s hate for Trump isn’t real. On the contrary it’s scary real. But if it’s all justified on myths and lies, where is the hate really coming
from? First it comes from the Left’s
insatiable craving for power, and Donald Trump had the audacity to deprive them
of their satisfaction. But to admit to
hating someone for besting you at your own game, well that sounds a lot like
whining doesn’t it? And then, of course,
there’s all that goes along with that power:
the opportunity to dismantle the Constitution by putting activist judges
on the Supreme Court, by increasing taxes so that the government (i.e. them)
spends your money instead of you, by over-regulating to micro-manage your every
behavior, to neuter our military and to subjugate us to the global powers that
be. That’s what the anger and the hate
is really about, but the leftists can’t
say all that out loud. It sounds kinda
bad. Kinda unamerican. So if that means Donald Trump must be a white
supremacist, then so be it.
