Liberals and Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by constantly criticizing President Trump. By making outrageous, over-the-top comments such as those by Herald columnist Leonard Pitts, Meryl Streep, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and others—comparing him to brown shirts, Nazis, and the Third Reich, in addition to demanding his impeachment.
Democrats have been going ballistic since losing the election. They need to get over it. But beyond that, they are disenfranchising the overwhelming moderate majority by their offensive and disrespectful rhetoric.
GILBERT SCHWARTZ, AVENTURA
Note from KBJ: Right on, brother. The real war is between the mainstream media and ordinary American people, whom they despise. Trump is merely the representative of the people. Others who despise ordinary Americans are academics, entertainers, and bureaucrats. These professional despisers cannot fathom how someone as "uncouth" and "retrograde" as Donald Trump got elected. Keep in mind as well that progressives believe in progress. They think history has a direction. As time goes by, humans become morally better. To the progressive mind, conservatives are either stupid (if they don't understand history's trajectory) or perverse (if they understand the trajectory but reject it). You don't argue with stupid or perverse people; you try to crush them. Crushing includes "re-education," character assassination (a.k.a. smearing), and, if all else fails, murder. The end justifies the means.
