Hunker down

In the wake of the the nation electing Trump for the second time, my far left friends are in a panic. They are literally arming themselves in preparation of being attacked and possibly killed. Hunker down, in other words.

I say arming. They are not buying guns. That is too much hypocrisy even for them. But they are enrolling in self defense classes, renewing their training, etc etc etc.

These are the exact same people who told the far right to calm down, quit overreacting and be sensible when Obama was elected and again when Biden was elected.

"We survived Bush/Trump. You'll survive Obama/Biden," was the chanted mantra.

Now? Chicken Little ain't got nothing on them. The sky is not just falling, the entire universe is falling into a black hole.

Calm down much? Quit overreacting much? Be sensible much?

Yeah, that shoe is awfully uncomfortable now, eh?

The problem is both sides want to impose their version of order on the rest of us. I object to that, strenuously object.

If you are not gonna take your own advice, quit giving it to other people. That's something neither side is willing to do.

If the truth hurts, yer living wrong.

Here, for my leftist friends - You'll survive Trump. You did it the first time.

Eugh. I don't like saying it. I ain't sure either side is gonna come through this unscathed. But I do believe in parity.
