The Progressive Loss

TRIGGER WARNINGS:  In which I suggest progressives have lost their way.

For John, BLUF:  The Left is unmoored.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Primal Scream

This is from Opinionator Richard Fernandez and The Belmont Club, 10 November 2017.

Mr Fernandez talks to the Santa Muerte cult in Mexico, Kevin Spacey and The Communist Manifesto

Mr Fernandez then goes on to mention this recent event:

On Nov. 8, thousands of concerned Americans will commemorate the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump‘s election by screaming helplessly into the sky.

The Opinion Piece ends on this note:

What they were mourning was not some conservative's sublunar fallibility, but their own.  Whatever happens now, the progressives have lost decades of "gains," not to the alt-right, which is nothing special, but to the realization of their own human frailty.  They will find equality intolerable.  But they might in consolation remember the classic lines from the movie Unforgiven.

The Schofield Kid:  Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Will Munny:  We all got it coming, kid.

Sadly, we do.

Well worth a read.
