The insane hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters is still present even into the next decade, as demonstrated by three current but unrelated events. But the venom simply serves to further marginalize the left.

Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary show featured a sketch in which famous comedian Tom Hanks gave the impression of what the left believes to be a supposedly Ancient Trump supporter in its too-long performance.
The event was NBC’s tele-version of the new Obama-Hillary Clinton-Biden diction of low MAGA disparagement: clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, chumps, remains, semi-fascists, and ultra-MAGAs.
Hanks ‘ character exhibited the majority of those stereotyped props. He was wearing a red MAGA hat ( real and not the fake versions of Jussie Smollett’s wild and sinister imagination ).
Hanks sounded off as a religious protestant, a slow-speaking Southwestern twanger, and a badly dressed weirdo.
And of course, the SNL authors insisted that he enjoy the unjustified racist. But, Hanks, as a confused Black Jeopardy participant, initially refused to even shake the hands of the African-American, assumed intellectually and morally better, game show host.
We are supposed to feel the Hanks portrayal is in comparison with progressives– generally represented in world as the bi-coastal intelligent, well-spoken, and snappily dressed.
Maybe the SNL crowd believed Kamala Harris, a brilliant former vice president and MAGA sluggard, to be the most recent hard-left, Political standard-bearer of mesmerizing word-salad fame?

Aside from the fact that Trump captured a record amount of African-American female voters, almost split the Spanish vote, and made gains with Asian- and Jewish-Americans, he also won huge defections from Wall Street and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
So, does SNL, Tom Hanks, or the left have any idea why it lost the popular vote due to such a diverse group of Democrat apostates?
Democrats should ask: Who is truly slow-witted? Is it Joe Biden and his contemporaries or the stumbling Tom Hanks caricature?
The latter bequeathed Americans an open border, 12 million illegal aliens, hyperinflation, two theater wars abroad, mega-trillion-dollar deficits, and the Green New Deal that impoverished the middle classes of all races.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation at about the same time. He was immediately pressed by host Margaret Brennan, the epitome of the supposedly sophisticated, hip, left-wing journalist, and thus the converse of the Hanks caricature.
Brennan hoped to use her historical insight to discredit the ostensible Trump megaphone when she approached Rubio about Vice President JD Vance’s recent dress-down speech to the European ministers.
Did Vance not realize that Brennan was lecturing Europeans about the regrettable abandonment of free speech and expression, as Brennan had demanded of Rubio? And in Germany of all places, she intoned– the very place, she insisted, where the Nazis once weaponized free speech to conduct the genocide!

The historically illiterate Brennan was tipped off by Rubio that the Nazis never permitted free speech.
The Holocaust was caused by precisely the absence of all kinds of divisive viewpoints in the marketplace of ideas, not by excessive or even crude free speech.
Ironically, it was precisely Brennan’s own defense of censoring “hate speech”, “disinformation”, and “misinformation” that the Nazis used to brand as extreme and unacceptable any view contrary to their own.
Next, the stunned European ministers in Munich, of course, sat aghast at Vance’s tutorial.
None of his statements contradicted what he was saying, namely that the efforts of European elites to postpone or halt elections that might bring in national conservative populists to power are against the European enlightenment.
The use of weaponized, selective law enforcement to go after peaceful anti-abortion protestors, but not known violent Muslim illegal immigrants, is not only contrary to a free society but suicidal.
However, Vance’s remarks had a deeper meaning.
The rising populist pushback is more in the left-wing European elite’s fear than they hate.
The European apparat knows their own past two decades of massive illegal alien influxes, disarmament, deindustrializing, crashing fertility, green mandates, high taxes, crushing regulations, asymmetrical trade tariffs, and suppression of free speech and dissent were precisely what created the populist backlash.

The growing counter-revolution was not because of bogeyman charges of “racism”,” Islamophobia”, or” xenophobia”, much less “hate speech”.
Bankrupt policies, which did not actually work, also failed to help the middle classes in the entire European Union.
Therefore, more debate, disagreement, and fresh ideas are needed to restore European prestige and prestige abroad, as well as prosperity and security at home.
All that transparency might jump-start the economy, encourage entrepreneurialism, ensure national security, and return Europe to a civil, safe– and influential– society.
Sometimes Trump supporters end up being his best supporters. Their venom demonstrates that they either lack intelligence, common sense, or both, according to us.
Such was the case with Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennen, and the European ministers.
