Sir
I agreed with the OP, I also agree the American left is stupid so I agreed with Simon, what's wrong with that lol. Do they have no role in it? I mean they are the main reason he even got elected, they should have some bearing. I think what Coded logic said was correct, but you also have to factor in the another side (not only trump) to the phenomenon.
The left has massively exaggerated the danger of Trump, especially to certain minority groups and has found a mainstream media compliant, even eager in their efforts to consciously aid in spreading propaganda, hyperbole, even lies in the cause of opposing Trump. That's not saying he is faultless, but the media is crying wolf too damn much.
Mass hysteria is a kind of delusion that fits well with people who consider themselves "victims." Trump hate is easy to promote. Every time people becoming unreasonably unhinged it's giving him further advantage. How is that not part of the discussion?
If Democrats want to continue to go down the hysteria route, Republicans and Donald Trump are not going to care. Such irrational behavior by Democrats will only be of benefit to Republicans. It’s up to the Democrats if they want to be the opposition party or the crazy opposition party.
