Progressives’ meltdown over Trump’s first actions show exactly why he won | Opinio
Rep. Aguilar: ‘we understand that people are scared,’ on Donald Trump’s immigration policy.
(And they weren’t afraid under the Democrats who took away their Constitution/freedom and put them in the POOR HOUSE?
77 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP)
Donald Trump has been president for only four days, and progressives have already lost their minds.
And, boy, do I love to see it.
With hysteria and fear toward Trump, and condemnation and shock about his conservative agenda, progressives and much of the mainstream media are reacting in ways that show just why Trump won.
Again.
Progressives are losing their minds

Progressives have had more than two months to adjust to the stunning notion that more than 77 million people voted for Trump because they want a conservative agenda to fix what now former President Joe Biden and other Democrats broke.
Even so, it appears that no amount of time was enough to help progressives recover from this tragedy − otherwise known as democracy in action.
Opinion: Trump promises a ‘revolution of common sense.’ I say it can’t happen fast enough.
Here are a few examples how liberals are melting down now that Trump is back in the White House:
- On MSNBC, Tara Setmayer said Trump and his billionaire cronies have “duped” America. Hey, way to insult the intelligence of 77 million Americans.
- MSNBC also featured a segment claiming that Black America is in a “state of emergency” because of Trump’s return. You know, because Trump is a racist.
- MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow was appalled by Trump’s inauguration. “How is this happening?” Maddow asked when she saw Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem sitting next to Apple CEO Tim Cook at the ceremony. “Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with Cabinet nominees and family members?” It’s bad, you see, when billionaires cozy up to Republicans, but perfectly fine when billionaires shower Democrats with money.
- Staying at MSNBC, the home of progressive angst, Chris Hayes said Trump reminds him of a cult leader: “The obsession of Trump’s rhetoric is always a theme of national decline and national humiliation. And there’s something strange about hearing it the second time. It’s a little like a cult leader that keeps predicting different days for the end of the world.”
- At ABC News, David Muir slammed the idea that Trump is popular or that many Americans support his ideas. “So much is made about Donald Trump and the mandate, even though from a popular vote standpoint it was a relatively close election,” he said. Never mind that our elections are determined by the Electoral College. Trump won 31 states, from Florida to Alaska, Arizona to Pennsylvania. That’s an extraordinary feat, one that shows a broad and deep swath of America wants what Trump has promised.
Leftist meltdowns show lack of respect for democracy
I’m all for watching − and laughing at − the left’s temper tantrums, but I have problems with members of the mainstream media, who hold clout and influence, melting down because the duly elected president has now taken office.
Does anyone else feel like progressives have had a sudden conversion experience about holding the commander in chief accountable? For four years, the left was relatively quiet when it came to criticizing the Biden administration, or heck, even just being honest about what they observed with his physical and mental health decline.
Opinion: Goodbye and good riddance, Biden. Americans like me are glad to see Joe go.
Now that Trump is back in office, they are enlightened. Now they can see and hear everything the president is doing, has done and may do in the future. Amazing.
Progressives’ hysterical reaction to Trump’s return also shows a disturbing lack of self-awareness and increasing disdain for their fellow Americans. When Biden was president, they preached unity and said our diversity was our strength.
Now that a Republican is president, they have no problem not only smearing him but also those Americans who don’t share their ideology. The left’s demagoguery seems boundless.
Rather than trying to understand why so many people might look at Trump’s conservative agenda as a salve for what ails this country − the harsh consequences of a descent into liberalism that hurt our economy, military, border security and foreign relationships − the left refuses to accept or understand it.
This is why Trump won: Progressives know how to talk only to themselves, while discounting and insulting the many Americans who voted in this past election for wholesale change.
