They seem like just a bunch of self-centered people wanting to be seen doing something.

Mainstream news journalists — by which I mean that collection of Democrats employed by large corporations to push the sort of big government that prevents small corporations from competing with them — have been breathlessly speculating that the recent "Women's Marches" around the country may be the beginning of a movement. The marches, funded in part by anti-American globalist billionaire George Soros, called forth such headlines as "Cathartic Moment or Enduring Movement" and "Women's March Activists... Seek To Build a Movement."

No one knows the future, of course, but I can't help wondering if the marches, large as they were, were not rather the end of a movement, a fond farewell to an amalgam of obsolete leftist causes that either never had a reason to exist in the first place or have lost whatever reason they might once have had.

Another trademark of a dying movement is moral hyperbole geared toward keeping obsolete grudges and complaints alive. There is no one in prison in America for being black. People go to prison for committing violent crimes. The fact that blacks commit a disproportionate number of those crimes may be explained in any number of ways, but it's pure fantasy to claim (as Barack Obama so often did) that systemic, institutional racism continues to exist. Individual racism and moments of injustice, like many despicable things, will be with us always. But the very success of the civil rights movement in purging our institutions of injustice is the reason the modern civil rights movement is nothing but a collection of corrupt race gamers and Democrat hacks. The good work is done.
 
Its funny because the left has no actual grassroots movement, they have no idea how to affect real change, its just a lot of hysteria and petitions. Trump appears to be doing all of the extreme things early so when it comes time to vote, the left will have forgotten a lot of the reasons why he's so evil. I think 2018 mid-terms and his re-election will be a blow out.
 
As long as there are College campuses and progressive thinkers who teach moral relativism and collective philosophy there will always be a left wing.

This ^ and that is by design. Over time the left has successfully infiltrated professions needed to change the culture to its view of the world, and we are now witnessing the last gasp of western civilization trying to save itself.
 
I dont mind the moderates, both left and right...but the ones to the far left and far right are a bunch of mongrels who ruin everything.
 
That's not so bad, but after the third day, I'd throw it out.

Leftover meatloaf is the best. First day as a dinner slice, very good, but, never as good as the third day. Second day as a sandwich slice cold, yum!. Third day reheated in all it's glory. All leftovers at that point goes to a very happy hound.
 
The Dems have effectively imploded on themselves as a result of the shenanigans of the DNC scandal & the push to anoint Clinton as their chosen one.

This is my take, as well.

The left could have had an outsider, grassroots leader. Instead, they chose Clinton. The election imploded for them as a result. And yet, I still see MSM outlets and DNC insiders saying Clinton should run again in four years. These people are insane.
 
I think the left is causing tons of damage to their cause right now with moderate Dems and Independents. They are so rabid right now that only their hard core choir will want to listen to what they are preaching. I predict 2018 will deliver another crushing blow to the Democrat party.
 
My hope is the democrat party and libertarian party switch places by 2020. Democrats will be considered a fringe group competing for votes with the Green Party.
 
The current Left is the new BLM... Shuckin' n jivin' attention to themselves. Dividing the the country into more camps. Nothing but more pawns to distract from the real problems of government. Fedbook being a perfect example. Watching my "friends" post endless political garbage talking points to "prove" their right.

It's cartoons I'm tellin' ya!

"The mindlessness is unbearable. Amnesty International tells us that we must “fight the Muslim ban” because Trump’s bigotry is wrecking lives. ...

One might think that Amnesty International should be fighting against the Bush/Cheney/Obama regime wars that have produced the refugees by killing and displacing millions of Muslims. For example, the ongoing war that Obama inflicted on Yemen results in the death of one Yemeni child every 10 minutes, according to UNICEF. Where is Amnesty International? ...

America’s wars on Muslims wreck far more lives than Trump’s ban on immigrants. Why the focus on an immigration ban and not on wars that produce refugees? Is it because Obama is responsible for war and Trump for the ban? …

The easiest and surest way for the Trump administration to stop the refugee problem, not only for the US but also for Europe and the West in general, is to stop the wars against Muslim countries that his predecessors started. …

It is very disturbing that the liberal/progressive/left prefers to oppose Trump than to oppose war. ..."
 
Anyone who thinks the left "is over" is really not paying attention. Bernie Sanders almost beat her despite it being rigged against him. If it was Bernie vs. Trump, it is my firm belief that Bernie would have won hands down.

The right won this round, that is all. They will make whatever changes in government, SCOTUS, law, etc., for the next four years.... but believe me, the left is regrouping and as [MENTION=10850]phill4paul[/MENTION] wisely quoted:

The current pendulum swing is so off the scale, the next will be a real motherfucker.
