The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the Constitution, and a triumph for the forces, at home and abroad, of nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism. Trump’s shocking victory, his ascension to the Presidency, is a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. On January 20, 2017, we will bid farewell to the first African-American President—a man of integrity, dignity, and generous spirit—and witness the inauguration of a con who did little to spurn endorsement by forces of xenophobia and white supremacy. It is impossible to react to this moment with anything less than revulsion and profound anxiety.
That opening paragraph sums up the unbelievable hostility the elite Left views the election of Donald Trump. And the absolute fantasy world in which they view the eight years of Barack Obama. It's hard to know where to begin unraveling such a horrible mess.
Working to solve America's problems with people like David Remnick spewing their contempt, poisoning the well and scoffing at the will of American voter will not be an easy task. Donald Trump has proven he's a unique man, who can shoulder these attacks from these nasty little people and hopefully he can convert his ideas into policies that will benefit everyday Americans.
What we've just experienced, eight years under the imperial Obama evidently was a dream come true for the likes of Remnick. Never mind our suffering under the intentional lies that brought us ACA, or the crony capitalism that brought us not one Green Energy success, or the plethora of executive orders and presidential memoranda that redefined the role of President and thwarted role of Congress. The legacy of a black man ushering in an era of tremendous racial unrest that resulted in many innocent cop killings will be tearing at our Nation's soul for a very long time.
It was the American voter who did not side with the distortions of Obama, Remnick and Hillary. The American voter rejected the corrupt and bankrupt way. This rejection obviously hurt them so bad. Depression will likely set in. Good! It's time for Remnick to take stock on how we got here. Not much hope there as he reacts by resorting to yellow journalism. It's the default defense the Left understands. Attack the person!!! Remnick has to vilify the victor to satiate his malice.
But the choice for Americans wasn't Trump or Obama. The choice was Trump or Hillary which makes his argument ridiculous. Remnick and the elites on both sides vilified DT but it was all a sham since there was never a more corrupt, deceitful candidate for our highest office than the candidate HRC.
That's how it looks from here! TM

I could barely get through the paragraph from the article. I think I am just shutting down until after January 20th...finding my "safe space" in my garden, lol.
Thanks to all you guys for toughing it out. Lots of work ahead of us.
When I come across someone who is so deluded and either unwilling or incapable to perceiving reality I think of the following quotes:
" . . . They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible . . ." Yuri Bezmenov 1984
" . . . in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion and [the] opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower [are] spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process, which we call either ‘ideological subversion,’ or ‘active measures’—‘[?]’ in the language of the KGB—or ‘psychological warfare.’ What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality, of every American, to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country . . ."
'All warfare is based primarily on the deception of an enemy. Fighting on a battlefield is the most primitive way of making war. There is no art higher than to destroy your enemy without a fight—by SUBVERTING anything of value in the enemy’s country.' Sun Tzu Chinese philosopher 500 B.C. http://uselessdissident.blogspot.com/200...a-part-one.html
