Theirs is a monumental, boundless arrogance that we can’t really comprehend.

I think a key to it may be to begin to re-interpret the arrogance as what arrogance usually is: raw fear.

Fear that their supposed historic mission has become obsolete, fear of being understood all too well by a working America they hate and look down on and don’t understand at all, fear of having to leave politics and make an honest living, fear of giving up perqs and amenities and status that their mass protection racket has brought them effortlessly.

The one form of respect liberals have coming, is the respect of acknowledgement of the danger any fearful creature poses: the mad dog, the unfaithful spouse, the weak leader, the inept office-holder, the con-artist, the lazy entitlement-seeker. All of these forms of permanent terror of being caught or being bested, lead those who live under it to be capable of the most cowardly and treacherous acts, making the fearful the most dangerous enemies of all, whether one even wants to be their enemy or not.

In that sense I think maybe everday Americans have long since stopped over-estimating liberals as capable of delivering any beneficial results. But I do wonder if many still under-estimate them in terms of the vicious treacheries any coward is capable of when cornered.

Because from where I sit, American leftism is definitely cornered and trapped in a box-canyon of its own making and with no egress. We’re already seeing with the brick-throwin’ and the no-platformin’ and the collusion-accusin’ and the sucker-punchin’, what cornered cowards can and will do.

What remains to be done about them, on that I don’t know what to suggest. That sort don’t dare venture into my neighborhood much, which is a big reason I decided to settle here. I spent most of my life surrounded by machine-Democrat Yankees and yuppies, and have put them and their ways and ideas behind me. The rest of America, I don’t know what it’ll do with that lot.
