...which is really what most of these meltdowns are all about:

How dare the Proles not vote and think the way we tell them to.

That's it. The left in one sentence.

The collective mental breakdown among self-styled progressives since Donald Trump’s re-election has been quite the sight to behold. The subsequent declaration by many that they will leave X, in protest of that platform’s supposed descent into fascism, has made matters all the more entertaining. What a glorious outpouring of self-importance and self-righteousness, combined with an utter lack of self-awareness.

Though such tantrums are amusing, the spectacle has also been appalling. This has been a grim cocktail of piety, sanctimony and belligerence, with rancour and malice thrown in, too. If the cleavage between remote, moneyed liberals and normal people was laid bare by the US election result, the fall-out since has made the gap appear all the more cavernous.


Indeed.

I haven't seen any melt downs. What I saw was along these lines. Realization, disappointment, acceptance, various discussion an coming to grips with what Trump might do.

False statements with certainty made by the right about what Trump might do, and pretending that the left is melting down. You see, we've ascertained y'all really don't know what is going to happen, and I have trepidation - but that's not a meltdown.


Jesus to God I hope we don't get to tell you - WE TOLD YOU SO - because looking down the road it can get very ugly, people will get hurt, and the United States can get hurt.

Yes, you have. I've been posting them. Y'all keep wanting to change the subject though so as to avoid facing it.

and I have trepidation - but that's not a meltdown.

Y'all have been reacting emotionally, often as children do when they don't get their way. Just as was described in the piece.

Jesus to God I hope we don't get to tell you - WE TOLD YOU SO - because looking down the road it can get very ugly, people will get hurt, and the United States can get hurt.

^^^^^^^^Case in point. Melt downs.

Y'all need to get your poop together.
