A must read from start to finish. You will not believe an piece like this could have been written by Maureen Dowd at the NYT, and yet research though search engines indicates it was. I will provide a few paragraphs as a teaser but strongly recommend you read the entire article from the intro, which I do not quote, to its end. One advisory: have your defibrillator on stand by.

Donald Trump pulled off one of the greatest political feats in modern history by defeating Hillary Clinton and the vaunted Clinton machine.

The election was a complete repudiation of Barack Obama: his fantasy world of political correctness, the politicization of the Justice Department and the I.R.S., an out-of-control E.P.A., his neutering of the military, his nonsupport of the police and his fixation on things like transgender bathrooms. Since he became president, his party has lost 63 House seats, 10 Senate seats and 14 governorships.

The country had signaled strongly in the last two midterms that they were not happy. The Dems’ answer was to give them more of the same from a person they did not like or trust.

Preaching — and pandering — with a message of inclusion, the Democrats have instead become a party where incivility and bad manners are taken for granted, rudeness is routine, religion is mocked and there is absolutely no respect for a differing opinion. This did not go down well in the Midwest, where Trump flipped three blue states and 44 electoral votes.

At the very least after this Dowd may find her office at the NYT sealed and her desk out in the alley. At worst it's possible a Liberal mob led by de Blasio will assault her.

It seems the article was written by Maureen Dowd's brother Kevin....

from the article:


My little basket of deplorables, as I call my conservative family, gloated with Trump toasts galore, and Kevin presented me with his annual holiday column with an extra flourish.

My colleague Paul Krugman tweeted Friday that “affluent, educated suburbanites” who voted for Trump are “fools.” What else is there to say, he asked.

Well, here is what Kevin, an affluent, educated suburbanite, has to say in his column, titled an “Election Therapy Guide for Liberals”:

Ok, then. I did read that intro but for some reason that part did not register. The column now makes much more sense. Thanks, TM.
