During its halcyon years, the Democratic Party can be credited with having achieved great things for America. The Civil Rights era of the 1960s comes to mind as a time when the clarion call sounded from the American left to make right what had been so wrong for so long. Drafting the brave example of Martin Luther King Jr. and his quiet strength, the Democrats helped accomplish an inarguable good, expiating the sins of their forefathers and banishing the ghosts of the darkest periods of their remembered past including their opposition to the abolition of slavery and the establishment of the Ku Klux Klan.

No matter that their gimlet-eyed sincerity during these salad days often resulted in well-intentioned legislation riven with unintended consequences, such as the Great Society programs, which would millstone generations of inner-city minorities with the decidedly mixed blessings of the welfare state. At least, it could be argued, in contrast to their reputed bloodless, unfeeling colleagues across the aisle, the Democrats were pure of heart.

What happened?

In 2020, with a hot crush on Wall Street and a platform that opposes school choice for inner-city minorities, the Democrats seem to have Freaky Fridayed the Republicans, who have delivered historically low unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics and enacted criminal justice reform. The weird science that seems to have wholly reconstituted the DNA of the Democratic Party has either distorted it grotesquely, like a funhouse mirror, or revealed its true nature in a cold light. Ever since a wide swath of Americans voted the Barbarian King into office to wage war against the elites and the Washington Swamp, Democrats and the progressive left have shown themselves to be vessels of limitless, inchoate rage, bereft of reason.

Its not a good look.

The thin gruel of the impeachment gambit followed hard on the heels of the DOA Mueller report, while the economy booms and new trade deals are signed. This bodes poorly for progressives for the remainder of this presidential term and beyond. The trail of policy breadcrumbs that might have led the Democrats out of the political woods has been boot-heeled by the radicalized fringe in control of their current fortunes. Democrats are offering themselves up to be devoured by the electoral witch, in the house of 2020 once again.

But as the wheels come off the clown car being driven over a political cliff by rouged manikin Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the increasingly erratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), there is no sign of a course correction. In a perpetual fever of loathing for President Trump, the Democratic Party and the American left have jettisoned what once appeared to be genuine sincerity for two intoxications: hatred and its heinous handmaiden, hypocrisy.

And now: a lightning round of progressive hypocrisies.

The big takeaway?

Virtue-signaling leftists typically are guilty of the very thing of which they accuse others, which is the very essence of hypocrisy. Unable to confront the tar pits of their own dark, psychic morass, progressives often project their own moral deficiencies and inferiorities onto those with whom they disagree.

So, will the Democratic Party, the American left, and much of the Fourth Estate ever take ownership of their legendary hypocrisies in the era of President Donald Trump?

Sure, they will.
