When Elon Musk tweeted on Friday, “The far left hates everybody, themselves included!” the one factor he obtained fallacious was his use of the phrase “far.”
The hatred, anger and resentment of liberals just isn’t unique to the acute Democrat. It’s now your complete occasion.
When was the final time anybody encountered a contented Democrat? They don’t exist. They’re perpetually depressing, irritated that standard individuals have moved on from COVID, offended that anybody objects to public colleges educating 7-year-olds about sexual identification, and pissed off that their fetish with “essential race principle” (also called “learn how to correctly hate whites!”) isn’t as broadly shared as they thought.
Contemplate the response to a Florida choose just lately placing down the Biden administration’s loathsome air-travel mask mandate. Social media was instantly flooded with movies of flight attendants and passengers overjoyed that they’d unfettered entry to oxygen once more. Liberals might solely sulk.
“Carrying my masks it doesn’t matter what non-scientists inform me I can do,” tweeted former Obama White Home aide Valerie Jarrett. She included a photograph of herself decked out in an N-95, hair pulled again alarmingly tight and one of many lens of her glasses fogged up from her lined mouth.
An ideal mascot for liberal distress.

Equally at The Washington Submit, columnist Kate Cohen wrote Wednesday how terrible it’s to see Individuals ditching their masks in celebration. “I nonetheless deliberate to put on a masks whereas COVID circulated in my group as a result of I used to be afraid of spreading the virus to susceptible individuals,” she stated. “Absolutely we are able to personally be ‘performed’ with this pandemic whereas respecting the truth that others are usually not.”
It’s not simply COVID
What she means is one thing extra alongside the traces of: I don’t like that I can’t morally nag individuals about masks with out the backing of the State anymore.
In spite of everything, there’s nothing liberals like to do anymore today than nag.
Keep dwelling! Masks up! Comply with the science! All of them slogans of the endlessly indignant Left.
Their bitterness isn’t unique to COVID. It’s in every single place. The worst of it’s seen on issues of race and sexual identification.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wouldn’t be so hated by the left if he hadn’t put a highlight on public schools that were teaching students that to be white is to be irredeemably terrible. Florida wouldn’t be at the center of controversy proper now if it weren’t for liberals believing it’s their constitutional proper to elucidate to kindergarteners who aren’t theirs what it means to be trans.

These are simply the large coverage fights. They’re keen to make everybody uncomfortable in small encounters as nicely. Not a single particular person studying this hasn’t skilled the indignant entitlement of a liberal in social settings. They communicate on political and cultural controversies with presumed impunity, sure that no matter they must say is shared by everybody current, and if it’s not, you’re the issue for failing to agree.
Don’t imagine in vaccine mandates? They’ll get in your face. Not a fan of defunding the police? They’ll name you a racist. Against transgender children being loaded up with puberty blockers? They’ll suck all the enjoyment out of the room with none sense of disgrace in any way.
Regular individuals keep away from battle. Liberals desperately seek for it. On a regular basis.
Elon Musk is heading in the right direction about liberals being hateful. He simply doesn’t understand how huge that hatred is.
