It's been almost a week.
I'm not going to say much, just note that progressives don't seem to have learned anything from Brexit, and seem poised to repeat this amazing intelectual feat after Trump. From what I've been reading, with some notable exceptions, progressive answer is to double down on the intolerance and hate (all the while pointing out the Other's intolerance and hate) and wait until the demographics ensure the "defenders of diversity" (as in "Where I live 98% voted Clinton") can ditch the rest of the country.
It might work, and nothing screams "progressive" like "Let's ditch those f*ckers and abandon them to their fate".
But I'm finding it much more ironic to follow the "European response". Let's see...
- Merkel & Friends have been telling us (Southern European lazy bastards) "We've got the money. We set the rules. You obey". They now seem to find it intriguing that someone else comes along and serves them with their own message.
- Merkel & Friends, again, have unleashed division in Europe (North/South) to save their banks, and to save themselves with their own electorates. Then, in an ironic twist, they were served their own poison (East/West) when we were hit by the migrant crisis. At that time, Merkel & Friends lamented Europe's lack of unity, apparently unable to realize that you reap what you sow. Now, they're going again for the mirage of an united European response to Trump. Will Merkel & Friends ever realize that, after their destruction of European unity, they will never achieve it again?
This week's elections in Moldova and, most especially, Bulgaria, show the explosive success of Berlin's plan. Most of the pundits on "our side" claim Putin has been sabotaging the West. I'd say he hardly needs to. The Elected Accountants in the West have shown their complete lack of vision. That could, of course, be caused by the fact that they have their heads so stuck up their belly buttons they can only see their own behinds.
- The most hilarious scene I've seen this week was our old buddy Juncker saying we need to teach Mr. Trump what Europe is. The man whose country robbed his European partners of taxes by giving under-the-table sweetheart deals to big corporations is going to teach the con artist what Europe is.
Dunning-Kruger FTW.
