Trump Win Wreaks Havoc Upon Left-Wingers’ Sex Lives

I wonder whether Leftists ever realize how completely absurd they make themselves look. When Mitt Romney lost to Barack Obama, were there any reports of our side struck en masse by such depression they gained 10 pounds? Not that I recall, and yet, lo and behold, apparently weight loss doctors liken the “Trump Ten” to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Yes.

Were there any concerns among college campus faculties over students dropping out over Obama beating Romney? I can tell you right now – no. And yet, what do we have here but a college president writing about whether students will “drop out from fear”? Of course, said president said something about her college having “hundreds of Dreamer students.” (For those of you in Rio Linda, “Dreamer” is the politically correct term for “child of illegal immigrants.”)

Mm-hmm. Mind you, she went on to note that no one’s dropped out, yet. But again, it’s the “fear factor” (at the risk of invoking one of the few reality shows I’ve actually liked) that fascinates me. Just a casual glance at all the “flip-out” stories since The Don won – now, compare that to the general reaction of our side, four years ago.

Any outbursts of rage, back then, were pretty much in private. You didn’t hear any screaming, no giant protests with chants of “NOT MY PRESIDENT! NOT MY PRESIDENT!” No. When the election results came in, we just sighed, shook our heads, flipped up the collars of our trench coats and walked out into the night, fedoras shielding us from the rain as the Chinatown theme played.

Yeah, that was just me, but you get the idea. And we recovered pretty quickly and went right into assessing what we did wrong; why our side lost, when we had so much seemingly in our favor. In short, we behaved like rational, sane, intelligent adults.

But now, with Trump, the Left is rendered impotent. Apparently, in the literal sense.

As if all I mentioned above wasn’t sad enough, apparently The Don’s victory has caused a surge of Lefties discovering they’re just, er, not in the mood. An op-ed in The Washington Post has a woman laying out how “Trump’s election stole my desire to look for a partner.” Yeah, that’s the title. It just gets better from there. The reasoning goes that “dating means hope” and Trump winning means “all is lost.”

Interestingly enough, these melodrama stories were going on even before the election. Cosmopolitan published an article in which the author claimed that the very thought that Donald Trump —with all his terrible, terrible remarks on that Access Hollywood tape — might actually win. Well, it gave her cause to be repelled by all men. Even her husband:

“I love my husband very much and he is truly one of the most decent humans I’ve ever met, but sometimes I look at him during this election, and I want to say, ‘I love you, but please stay away from me right now.’ ”

And he wasn’t even a Trump supporter.

The article goes on to note that this mood — or lack thereof — wasn’t limited to women. Left-wing men weren’t feeling it, either. And Salon gave the unintentional punch line: About the only thing keeping them from going to pieces was the “hope” that Hillary would win.

And so, the question: Are Lefties really this unstable? Is a Republican victory really so emasculating? Well apparently so, if their rampant immaturity over Bush beating Gore was any indication.

All I know is, I can’t help recalling all the left-wing mockery of “hawks” pushing for an aggressive foreign policy, to the effect that all the aggression was compensation for something.

Like so many of their accusations — “racist,” “sexist,” “anti-Semite,” “xenophobe,” “homophobe,” “germaphobe” — what we have here is more proof that the Left is a giant pot lecturing the kettle on blackness. Because with all the rampant insecurity on full display on the Left — compared with how well we’ve taken defeat — well, we can honestly say that “sensitivity” is a bit overrated.
