Unhinged since 2000


For John, BLUFThe Democrats are unhinged over last year's election.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From Pajama Media, by Sarah Hoyt, back on 19 October 2017.

Here is the lede plus one:

You know, it has been asserted — at Ace of Spades Headquarters among other places, and I made the point myself in a post here — that the left has left normal behind.

Part of their primacy in the culture, part of the reason they inserted themselves into gatekeeper positions and managed to control the media-industrial complex, is that for the longest time they looked not only normal but, as far as the human instinct can perceive it (even in a “classless” society) but “high class” and commanding and in control.

Part of this, of course, was their dominance of the higher economic ranges and the respected universities, and that was achieved because the wealthier people were very afraid of the communist threat and willing to parley with it in small increments, so that their children grew up communists, as a way to control what everyone in the early twentieth century thought was “the coming new order.”

I don’t know when that slipped.  I started noticing some acts of truly bizarre public performance during the Bush years. It was as though, with Motor Voter and the ease of election falsification, they’d assumed no Republican candidate would ever displace theirs, and therefore they went utterly unhinged when Bush won.  From trying to disqualify the election results, to bizarre displays including hanging him in effigy, they were off the reservation.  On the other hand, I understand their public displays were always fairly unhinged, including the “marching around with giant papier-mache puppets.”  But even then I thought that “women dancing around in vulva” (unlike them, I know anatomy) “costumes” was a step beyond.

It turns out that the Democrats are not the "normals". Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
