Glory Days, and Today's Left

 It's not a BAD song (Glory Days, by Bruce Springstein). But, it always makes me think:

Dude, Grow the &^%$ Up! Those days are over. Move on!

 

Well, that's the Left; they never did move on from those days when they thought they were the Masters of the Universe. Those days when they marched in unison, shouting F$%@ LBJ/Nixon/Ray-gun/Bushitler". Those days when they, and their comrades, were destined to take over this country.

A few of them found modest jobs in government; some locally, some in Washington. And, they would gather at the end of the day, in their tight little groups, reminiscing about their past Glory Days, talking trash about all the 'rubes' and 'hicks' who didn't see them in that same dazzling light with which they saw themselves. Plotting a little revolution in quiet corners, drinking more than a little too much.

And, the next morning, waking up with a hangover in their lonely apartments, going into their boring jobs, and doing it all again - 40 hours a week, week after week, year after year.

Only to see, right after their Hero, the Lightworker, reached the end of his last term, that Horrible Orange Man and his Cruel Master of the Handmaidens VP, take office. Defeating their Chosen Successor, HRC, the Officially Smartest Woman to EVER be elected.

Which, she was. Until, by some unknown but certainly nefarious means, he STOLE the job.

****** Interlude - 4 years of Screaming and LOTS of wine and whining ******

But, THIS time, they will definitely win! With a Brown VP who is a WOMYN!

Yeah.

Don't even try to confront them with reality - you do know that the insane often become violent when you try to do that, don't you?

Just go to court to stop the blatant theft in progress. And, set out wine - LOTS of wine.

And, back away quietly.
