This Is Why We Have Trump

Elephants Have Long Memories, They Say

This first one was from 2009.

Remember?

A reporter snarkily confronting the Wrong Kind of protestors. Apparently she thinks it's her job to fight her subjects, and that this is somehow not unprofessional behavior. Gee, I wonder why they're so angry with media? Mysterious.

And how about this? Remember?

Hilarious! What a card. Really got a good zinger in against all those stupid yokels, didn't ya? Good job, man. Good job.

Also- remember this next one? Gruber, if you recall, is the Obamacare architect who decided that straight-out lying was their preferred PR method. Hear him deliver another snappy hit song from our 'piss down their backs and tell them it's raining' political class:

In a result completely predicted here, as well as every other conservative site on the web, I could neither keep my insurance, nor my doctor. Obama and everyone on the Left lied. And instead of my preferred plan, which was affordable and worked perfectly for me but was made illegal, now under pain of law I am forced to purchase a piece of crap that covers nothing.

And they knew all that, and lied about it anyway, trusting Americans to be 'stupid' and believe their lies.

Dear Media. Psst. Pay deadly-close attention here, for this is nearly the whole game that lost it for you:

1) pols made statements about a new policy to help it pass.

2) policy passed.

3) public discovered the policy was not as described. In a really bad way.

4) pols laughed at the public for believing them in the first place.

5) public learned its lesson, and acted accordingly.

Media: remember who was cheerleading and protecting the politicians who were enacting ACA? Remember who was vilifying those making good faith arguments against it? Defaming them as racists? It was you. And we all remember being lied to by you, too.

When you weren't simply mocking us.

And this is how you got Trump.

The media election freakout is awesome, because they did it to themselves.

Remember? How about this one?

Hysterical! I love these people. L-O-V-E. Oh, the arrogance. Oh, their giggling. I love their cute little giggling the most. That's what I'm doing right now, too! This has been a delightful little trip down memory lane.

Remember?

Gibson guitar raid.

IRS targeting of conservatives.

Screwing the GM bond holders.

Eliminating non-union pensions while topping up union pensions, out of pure political malice.

Asking Americans to report dissenters to the government.

And of course, decades and decades of

this sort of thing

Shouldn't we be as kind to them as they have been to us?
