Nixon was before my time, but I...


...lived through the Reagan years and remember how wound up lefties could get over him. It was still rather tame stuff (relative to today), however, like their tax-cuts-for-the-rich bullshit.

The first time I saw large swaths of the left really lose their shit was over George W. Bush. But I chalked that up mostly to 1) the admittedly bitter way they lost the 2000 election and 2) that they just had no respect for him at all. Still there was real, unhealthy hatred and obsession there that was a hint of things to come.

Fast-forward to 2016 through the present, and lefties and NeverTrumpers have completely lost their minds over Trump. I honestly don't think at this point that the country will be able to come back from it. They are just too far gone -- too far out on too many insane limbs and no way to crawl back. They'll never be able to admit they were wrong about nearly everything -- and especially the big things -- so America will have to contend with half its population living in a fantasy world for decades to come. That's not a recipe for success.

The board is just a microcosm of larger society in this regard. I can't even imagine what's going to happen if Trump somehow wins the election this year. Mercy.
