Trump Has Become the Democrats’ Great White Whale
Trump Has Become the Democrats’ Great White Whale – American Greatness
May 29th, 2019 ~ By Victor Davis Hanson
One way of envisioning the Democratic obsessions with Donald Trump is as an addiction. We have seen the initial impeachment efforts; the attempt to get him under the emoluments clause, the Logan Act and the 25th Amendment; the Russian collusion hoax; the Mueller investigation; the demand for his tax returns; and the psychodramas involving Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. Relentless progressives have needed a new Get Trump fix about every two months.... More practically, their fixation also substitutes for a collective poverty of ideas. The Democratic Party has no plan to secure the borders other than to be against whatever Trump is for. They would not build a wall, deport illegal entrants, end sanctuary cities, fine employers or do much of anything but allow almost anyone to enter the U.S.
The Democratic establishment has become something like novelist Herman Melville’s phobic Captain Ahab, who became fatally absorbed with chasing his nemesis, the albino whale Moby Dick. The great white whale once ate part of Ahab’s leg, and he demands revenge—even if such a never-ending neurosis leads to the destruction of his ship and crew.... Democrats can never forgive Trump for unexpectedly defeating supposed sure winner Hillary Clinton in 2016 and then systematically—and loudly—undoing the eight-year agenda of Obama.... So far, Trump seems to have escaped all of their efforts to spear and remove him before the 2020 election. Trump, like Moby Dick, seems a weird force of nature whose wounds from constant attacks only seem to make him more indestructible and his attackers even more obsessed with their prey. Even if the quest to destroy Trump eclipses every other consideration and entails the destruction of the modern Democratic Party, it seems not to matter to these modern Ahabs. Getting Trump is all they live for—and all they have left.

Excellent metaphor Professor Hanson. The modern Democratic Party, in conjunction with the elite media establishment, are obsessed with the destruction of the "persona" of President Trump. Now they are headed into primary season with no policy platforms. I have to admit I will be watching the Democrats as the process unfolds. As a Trump supporter I believe this process will help me empathize with Napoleons' soldiers. Never interrupt them, but what do you do in the meantime?
The country has been steeped in madness based upon a lie and conspiracy created by the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Left. No part of America has gone without its gangrenous touch.
President Trump in the past two years, has caused the PMS/DSA to expend most of their ammo. The fought to destroy the Committee investigations, the IG report and the Mueller Report to the DOJ and now are expending more of their ammo. When all is complete, POTUS has dropped a bomb on their heads with declassification of the pertinent documents. PMS/DSA Democrats are shooting shadows in the dark. Trump is now hitting back with the light of truth shining on them.
The truth is that in his effort to Fundamentally Transform America, Obama destroyed the Democratic Party. Neither Hillary, Nancy or Chuckie can put it back together again. The entire Trump Hate is their believers projecting Obama's sins onto Trump. Evidently, their ideological political religion prevents them from rational thought because of their innate RACISM.
IMO, the only salvation I see in this never-ending DC swamp fluster cluck is Trump's reelection and the vision of PMS/DSA Democrats running in circles with their collective hair on fire.
