Tap dancing on a powder keg

In PJ Media, Sara Hoyt writes that the Left

have elevated Marxist credo to a messianic religion. They believe it as one believes revealed truth, with no doubt and no thought. (If they thought, they wouldn’t believe it.) And in believing it, they think that, of course, anyone who opposes them must be evil. The only way not to think we’re evil is to think we’re otherwise impaired — you know, in Mr. Obama’s charming words, “clinging to their guns and religion and afraid of people who aren’t like them.”

...They don’t realize how much they’re scaring most of this country. They don’t understand how much we fear and loathe the faces they’ve revealed for decades, and particularly since Hillary lost: the praise of socialism, their reluctance to condemn even Venezuela, their crazy desire for not having borders and being open to invasion, their general hatred of America and hatred of all Americans.

...For decades, regardless of the party nominally in power, our polity had been in the hands of those who at best thought America was uncouth and needed reform, and at worst hated us and wanted to bring us low among the nations of the world. Open borders, ever-multiplying regulations that stopped our economy cold and sent jobs overseas, destructive welfare policies that actively made it punitive to stay together as a family. It goes on.

...And in 2016, when they thought us softened enough, they brought out the full panoply of "socialist this" and "Marxist that." Hillary’s running mate, for instance. And since then? The mask has come off yet further.

So we can either allow them to destroy this country, the last great place on Earth, or we can vote for whosoever opposes them. Even if the person is not what we wish.

...Meanwhile, the Left thinks they’re turning us against Trump – let’s hope so. They’ll then underestimate how many votes to manufacture – or they'll use this to make their fraud more plausible.

It is the second one that worries me.

The Left doesn’t get the desperation, or the degree of desperation most of us feel. Being as innocent of economics and history as a duck is of astronomy, they don’t get the grave peril the whole country stood in and still stands in. They don’t understand that the world is not one of unicorns and rainbows.

Their pig ignorance of the world and their smug and stupid imagined superiority over the rest of us don’t allow them to know what they’re doing.

And what they’re doing is tap dancing on a powder keg and calling for more candles to properly illuminate the series.
