Anyone who thinks that left wing progressivism is a positive force in culture and history needs to read this piece. Quote: "Barack Obama was, himself, a master of the progressive tone. Even other progressives became conscious, after a while, that their narcissist-in-chief wasn’t actually going to do much other than express his universal disappointment. It was obvious to them that the world itself fell short of Obama’s grand and ideologically perfect expectations. It was obvious to the rest of us that he had no idea how to do his job. Good progressives made excuses for him. He was just too elevated a being to be anything as innately dirty as an American president. Conservatives were to blame -- it goes without saying. We interrupted Obama’s dramatic soliloquies with our stubborn refusal to swoon -- our meanspirited failure to sink to our knees and weep in adoration. We heckled the eight-year poetry recital that was his presidency. We offended his sensibilities with our loathsome, primitive ideas about “American exceptionalism.” How crude. How unsophisticated. Obama was, and still is, the very embodiment of what it now means to be a leftist intellectual: Pretending to be above it all. Saddened by reality. The only qualities he added to the standard narrative were bitterness, petulance, and vindictiveness. And even these were not uniquely his. Hillary outperformed these negatives on all counts. Obama did his share of damage, of course, but being a man of words rather than action he seldom let industriousness interfere with his persona or his golf game. Being a victim of heroic proportions requires neither brilliance nor effort. It only requires a certain look, a certain pose -- the shallow acting skills of a character not from history, but from a novel. In one sense, and one sense only, he really was a kind of Antichrist: he was a creature who hypnotized the people he inspired -- if the term “inspired” can be used so perversely. Leftist demagogues rot the inner strength of the nations they infest. We must understand that this is their role -- or, in their own pretentious language, their raison d'etre. They are the Svengalis of modern politics, leading their followers incrementally down the road to moral blindness and societal death. The disease of progressivism is now widespread, though probably not the majority position some imagine it to be. It has infected all classes, from cynical elites who wish to placate the last shriveled remnants of their consciences to the cynical poor who wish to be made unpoor by a government willing to pick pockets on their behalf. The cultural decay is deep, giving people a false sense of goodness based of uttering magic words rather than on the difficult and costly work of genuinely moral behavior. The real obscenity of leftist virtue-signaling isn’t merely that it’s unproductive and self-serving, but that leftists are so blinded that their own hypocrisy is lost on them. What does virtue-signaling accomplished that could not be done more honestly with a secret gesture or a secret handshake? What does the middle-class progressive really want other than identification with “the enlightened,” the intelligentsia, and with those who wield power?"  And,  "I will hardly be the first to observe that the left long ago lost the battle over facts. Ghettoes, crime, and overdose deaths are facts. The chaos in Western Europe is a fact. The degeneration of Detroit into semi-rural scrub forest is a fact. The “arc of history,” pretty as it sounds, is nothing but a literary dream. A castle of mere words. Socialism has always been, at heart, a literary façade for the same old centralization of power -- a petty tyranny at the hands of self-appointed and self-righteous planners and intellectuals. It’s a lie. In its death throes it has even lost the charm of being a beautiful lie."      https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/10/the_sad_sad_culture_of_progressivism.html

This is a good summary of the economic successes Trump has had since taking office.  The question the piece asks is whether or not voters want it to continue or return to Obama's failing economy.   http://punchingbagpost.com/2018/10/29/horist-do-voters-really-want-to-kill-off-the-booming-economy/?    More: "The economy has been one of President Trump's greatest accomplishments and more good news has surfaced about it. New numbers indicate that wages and salaries have increased by the highest level in 10 years."    http://trumptrainnews.com/articles/maga-trump-gets-more-good-news-on-the-economy

The FBI finally admits it spied on the Trump campaign. Quote: "FBI Just ADMITTED it Used MULTIPLE Spies in an Elaborate Sting Operation against President Trump during Campaign."   https://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/fbi-just-admitted-it-used-multiple-spies-in-an-elaborate-sting-operation-against-president-trump-during-campaign/

You cannot make this stuff up.  Aside from previous exposures of Obama administration illegal activities more evidence has emerged that suggests another illegal practice. Quote: "According to a news release from the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA), “top government officials and federal agencies” worked to push banks and other lending institutions into financially punishing businesses and industries the Obama White House opposed on political grounds."  And,  "“More than 100 records expose depositions and damaging emails of government officials, most notably at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), who executed a secretive campaign against lawful businesses it disfavored while ignoring due process and subverting the legal and regulatory process,” the CFSA news release reported. The association noted that the “illegal campaign” involved, among other tactics, threats from senior government agencies and officials that financial institution staff could be fired or even subjected to criminal prosecution if they didn’t comply with the Obama regime’s ‘recommendations.’"   https://realconservativesunite.com/2018/10/29/documents-related-to-obama-era-operation-choke-point-show-government-was-extorting-lawful-businesses-like-mafia-mobsters/     No wonder the Democrats and their left wing mainstream media lackeys are working so hard to destroy Trump.  He is overseeing the exposure of all the illegal things done while Obama was in office.

Democrat socialists are increasingly exposing their insane destructive nature.  Anything Trump says or does Democrats take the opposite position not because they believe it but because they hate him that much.  He is showing them up for the reprobates and incompetent fools they are each and every day.  Their only defense is to rebut, challenge, issue invectives and the like which does noting but prove Trump right.  Trump's call for national unity is not acceptable to Democrats and does nothing but show just how demented Democrats have become.  The people who level charges against Trump need to make a big and serious change in their own behavior before making demands of others.  They need to EXAMINE THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR AND STOP THEIR INCESSANT PARTISAN HATE FILLED RHETORIC before calm can be restored. Honest differences can be debated but shutting down any legitimate dialogue is not the way ahead. That is, however, exactly what members of the political left do inside and outside government.  https://www.libertyplanet.com/articles/democrats-cnn-resist-peace-after-trump-calls-for-calm/    Gutter level behavior does not promote anything good.
