Hysteric hysterically claims she is not
https://www.thenation.com/article/its-no...ump-poses/

Liberal proves the very point she is arguing against. She gets nervous over an ounce of reason from the NYT. I read this to try to see where she was coming from, but its all the same hysterical nonsense equating virtually all on the other side with its most extreme elements.

The New York Times was publishing an op-ed warning against taking the whole Trump thing too seriously. “Trump Isn’t a Threat to Our Democracy. Hysteria Is,” write the historians Samuel Moyn and David Priestland. “Since Donald Trump’s election, the United States has been gripped by tyrannophobia. Conspiracies against democracy are everywhere; truth is under siege; totalitarianism is making a comeback; ‘resistance’ is the last refuge of citizens.”
Hysteria? Tyrannophobia? Those are fighting words. You’d think the Times would have learned its lesson with Michael Kinsley’s much-mocked and quickly ended op-ed series, “Say something nice about Donald Trump.”

Criticizes the CEOs for leaving Trump's panels. And describes the left in a way I hadn't seen before, but fits:

"....They are passive-aggressive in that they explicitly indicate that the CEOS are separating themselves from the administration, but implicitly they are an exile of Trump from the society of well-meaning, open-minded souls...."

The Nation is an odd publication. Its pro-Putin. They're absolute nut cases.

Putin supports some crazies on the far, far, left as well. Also Jill Stein and the Greens. You can google The Nation Russia Ties for any number of articles detailing it.

The large coastal markets are eating up the hysteria.

The rest of the country, where the winning electoral votes are, despise this kind of crap.

Exactly. How did the left coast and New York come to be the voice of the left anyway? Are there no independent thinkers there?

RE: Hysteric hysterically claims she is not
I think I have figured this whole thing out. We've had the white power types, the black power types, whiney liberals, conspiracy nut jobs, Christians, atheists, preppers, environmental wackos, etc. for decades and even centuries. Largely we have, we being normal everyday folks, have just had limited exposure to most of these groups. You had to subscribe to certain magazines or seek out certain groups, which weren't always easy to find, if you had a particular view you felt strongly about and wanted to share. If you had a fringe view you either kept it to yourself or got called out as being crazy by about everyone you told it to.

Now, thanks to the speed of communication and the vastness of the Internet, people with uncommon, and mostly retarded, views get the false illusion that their stance is a common one shared by millions simply because they can get instant validation from at least one of the 0.001% of the population that shares their same retarded view. Any idiot can start a website about their particular retarded view and quickly attract all the other idiots with the same retarded view thanks to the power of search engine technology. The fact that there are websites that exists for your retarded view emboldens these people even more.

Now that these people can pool their stupidity they actually become a voting block in the eyes of politicians, so they get pandered to, further emboldening them and further validated their retarded position. Since politicians start pandering, they make comments supporting the retarded view to appeal to this voting block, which gets picked up by the MSM so now the retarded view seems mainstream which attracts all the bandwagon hopeless looking for some cause to validate their otherwise empty lives.

So now you have people, who throughout history were ignored (and rightly so) influencing pandering politicians and the MSM news.
