There's A Reason Liberals Are Always So Angry
2018-06-17
[Townhall] Have you ever wondered why rage seems to be "all the rage" with liberals these days? Every time you turn around there’s another march for this or protest against that; recycled chants about how something "has got to go," and a fawning media all too happy to report it as if it were news. It’s not news, of course, it’s a mass temper tantrum by political activists still unhappy their fellow Americans chose to reject Hillary Clinton in 2016. But there’s more to it than that, something strategic is at play.

Have you ever stubbed your toe and cursed in front of someone you otherwise would never consider using that kind of language in front of? Or gotten so mad while trying to fix something that you’ve ended up slamming it and making it worse? It’s likely you’ve done this or something similar because of one simple fact: emotion overrides logic.

When you’re angry or when you’re scared you aren’t thinking straight, you’re acting on emotion. That’s the state liberals have been keeping their base in since Donald Trump won the presidency.

To one degree or another, modern liberals have always used fear and anger to motivate their voters. After 9/11, Democrats ran on variations of "Republican policies are making us less safe." With the terror attacks of that September morning still fresh in people’s minds, that was not designed to inspire.

To hear liberals tell it, this country is fundamentally racist and killing the planet. They, however, are the gatekeepers of fixing it all. (Never mind the fact that cities where they’ve had complete control for generations ‐ Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. ‐ are used for backdrops for movies about post-apocalyptic futures because they require so little set construction.)

#5  Well, I've not seen this one before, but here's Barry making a speech about simple people surrendering their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. As much as I "like" Soetoro, I don't know why I don't trust this video. In any case:

#4  Because life is hard. it's harder if you are a liberal because you are stupid.
You are stupid because everything you believe in is stupid and will never work.
You are angry with yourselves liberals.

#3  The greatest irony by far is that if the marxists ever actually achieve their goal of total control, virtually all of the professional whiners will find themselves on the wrong side of the firing squads.

"Thank you for doing your part, comrades! But the State no longer requires your existence. Your ashes will be buried with honors at the Tomb of the Unknown Useful Idiots."

#2  Because of an insatiable lust for power? (More Power! - Tool Time Tim.) Ever see a hard drug addict who wasn't mad or angry when in deep need of another fix?
