Given the hysterical ‘sky is falling’ response to Trump from the left, both amongst mere citizens and the professional commentariat crying out from the ivory towers of progressive media, I wonder what would be the effect on their fragile psyches of an unmitigated Trump success that the left would have trouble objecting to due to its broad appeal? Would it completely unseat them from what remains of their sanity, driven into a mad despair of confusion? Or would it have a salubrious effect, as in pulling them back from the ideological extremes in which they currently roil towards a more reasoned take on things? I’m talking about a success here in the nature of the Trump team negotiating a Israeli/Palestinian peace deal - something like that, a ‘big deal’ that benefits pretty much everyone.
My guess is such a thing would torture the left with a disquiet that would look very much like a nervous breakdown. And it’d be damn fun to watch.
