In lingua Latin the word for "right" is "dexter" which becomes our English word dexterous, and the word for "left" is "sinister" which becomes our English word sinister. It is there no wonder that those on the political left would in Latin be called "sinister politicus." Consistent with that is a recent post at St. Corbinian's Bear entitled, "How Trump Exposed the Left," where a photograph of a Trump supporter having been beaten and hospitalized for his exercise of free speech is displayed.
I did not agree with Donald Trump, nor, having voted for Darrell Castle from the Constitution Party as President, did I vote for him. However, I was never a part of that ridiculous "Never Trump" movement, nor would I have ever preferred that murderous pathological liar Hillary Rodham Clinton over Donald Trump. Yes, Trump is an unprincipled, foul-mouthed playboy gambler, but his soon to be predecessor, Barack Hussein Obama, is a baby murderer and a sodomy sanctifier, and so was his opponent Hillary. Now having lost the election, the millennial spoil brat delicate snow flake flower children of indolence and imbecility expose for all to see their hatred of any position, opinion, speech or thought diverse from their own even while they proclaim diversity from the house tops. As the Bear states:
The infantile and hysterical reaction of the Left, however, bears comment. They have been using the word "hate" for so long they are starting to believe that anyone who votes for a different presidential candidate than their choice can only be motivated by mustache-twirling evil. Trump, as the focus of evil in the world, is a non-person to them. Dangerously, they are creating an environment where people feel justified in doing him harm....
...The irony is, it is the Left that is defined by Hate. If there was no Right, against which they could use the word "Hate," the Left could not exist. They would be unable to publicly preen their motley feathers of civic virtue as "the virtuous ones who are not those haters."
The Left are the haters. They have become a unfunny political vaudeville act all over the world. Leaders - secular and religious - who align themselves with the Left and its propositions will be pilloried by history. The biggest irony of the day is that the Left is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Westboro Baptists, the Klan, and every other group who might be fairly associated with Hate.
Haters of a feather flock together.
This can be seen at one's place of work. Here is a possible example. A young, very intelligence and well educated woman is unable to withstand to hear any point of view other than the liberal progressive feminist one which she had been taught in today's Academia. She walks away from a conversation about Trump which she had started, and the next day when it comes to a strictly work-related topic having no relevancy to anything political, she puts her feet into the mud and will not budge to compromise on something that has nothing to do with the previous day's topic. She becomes insulting and condescending, and there is nothing to be done because being a woman in today's environment, all she has to do is cry: "Woman abuse; he's hurting my feelings." These feminists say that they want to be treated like men, and when they are, the offense is too great to bear. Hate is their only response.
Many millennials get it, though. My twin sons were fervant Trump supporters. Many of their friends weren't. Mainly beause of social media, politics hasa become personal in a way never before seen. People define themselves by politics. Campaigning doesn't stop after the election. They used to call it "the culture wars," and an associate term was "political correctness." I would argue that the intensity with thich Leftists identify themselves as partisans of their causes cannot be matched by non-Leftists, because it is a pathological condition. "Leftist" is all they are; all you can really say about them. They are obsessed. They are the ones who are truly phobic about non-Leftists causes. They are emotionally fragile because their whole personality hinges on a political movement. Non-leftists are, well, normal people. Their personalities are not composed of a loose collection of political causes. Non-Leftists are different, and their psychological well-being does not depend on being affirmed by some political group constantly, constantly.
