There once was a time when pure venomous ‘ugly’ in the public sphere was so rare that the slightest decency breach or outright unkindness was enough to set tongues wagging for days and send waves of disapproving scowls at whoever the cheeky miscreant was.
GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES
To a certain extent, Republicans and conservatives have kind of held on to that – I guess we are sort of societal Neanderthals in some ways. We appreciate being decent to each other in most cases, keeping the swearing to a minimum, and even our bad boys aren’t all that vile. I mean, Trump will throw out a hot one every now and then, and he, in his brash New York style, will rip someone who’s displeased him or acted badly in a new orifice without a second thought. Hankies come out and sometimes even smelling salts, but at the end of the day, whatever he said that horrified someone somewhere, you know deep down he’s a decent guy.
The thing is, for the most part, I don’t know that about the left, and I used to. While not agreeing with them on darn near anything, they were basically civilized humans who wanted the rest of the country to act that way, were disappointed when it did not, and wanted the best for everyone, even if their conception of what was ‘best’ might not dovetail with their opponents.
I can’t imagine a potty-mouth Joe Lieberman, although Tip O’Neill was famous for it.
But everyone could part amiably from a good round of disagreement or even being called something as faintly offensive to modern ears as a jackass.
No one wished death or serious harm on a person with a different opinion, and a momentary wish for someone’s consignment to a fiery inferno was meant in the figurative, eventual, eternal sense, not the immediate five-alarm, nutjob in the governor’s mansion dining room with Molotov cocktails sense.
And no matter how one tries to be decent in the face of the unhinged, or tries to cool the room temperature with soothing but firm discourse, it seems all it does is inflame their passions to greater heights, and the old guard stumbles along in the fetid, noxious wake helplessly.
Chuck Schumer fumbles f-bombs like he chargrills burgers.
It’s so obvious from some of them, the attempt to be as hep as their younger lunatic fringe, that the cringe is as excruciating as the delivery is stilted and an appalling embarrassment.
The flag carriers for this movement are particularly unpleasant in both attitude and mien, scowling and snarling through sculpted cartoon faces so tight with Botoxed rage that they look like ghostly Skeletors in a parade of different wigs and Sally Jessie Rafael glasses.
And they’re just mean to the depths of their bony frames. I don’t get it – purposely, viciously mean.
How does a person become a classless JoJo from Jerz? I mean…why?
How does a person revel in being a Jennifer Welch – a living, breathing (all assumptions, mind you), verbalizing skull of nothing malignant, malicious mewlings?
Here she is, again, and I am, again, just gobsmacked at the intensity and audacity of the hate spew. She’s lacing into Katie Miller, wife of the White House’s Homeland Security Advisor and perpetual lightning rod, Stephen Miller. I don’t believe in person on the other end, but I’m unsure either way.
Jennifer Welch GOES OFF on Katie Miller: “If you think that my opinion that you and your husband are Nazi white nationalists is hateful, good. I will never stop calling out the injustice and the cruelty and the Nazi-style ideals that your husband has. You’re sociopaths. When I… pic.twitter.com/WvXQ8LzKWo

She and her equally vile but not quite as loquacious partner in demented, unhinged, ugly savagery – her job is more to mindlessly nod affirmatively – are amply and exponentially rewarded for this.
Fame, fortune, and designer togs have flown to them from giddy progressives, gratefully hanging on every foul word of these vacuous, graceless attack dogs.
I don’t get it.
Sad, hate-filled cheerleaders for the twisted Left do, however, disprove the old adage about ‘ugly only being skin deep.’
A bone scrape from any one of them would pull up something that, even under a microscope, had fangs and a tail.
I guarantee it.
