Author and blogger Sara Hoyt, after writing how she’s trying to “recover” her latest book, Darkship Revenge, in midpost, switches subjects to Donald Trump. This paragraph made me start paying caught my attention…

I will also confess the reaction from the left makes me very relieved with the results — and makes me realize why I was so depressed before the election — because it shows  they have interiorized politics as revelation, with the certainty that their way is not only right but inevitable.  It’s going to take a few slaps with the cold fish of reality before they realize it’s neither.  It’s going to take a few slaps for them even to THINK about whether the outcome they’re working towards is worth it.

I’m not sure there are enough cold fish in the world to fix Boulder.

News to the left, your way is not necessarily right and it’s certainly not inevitable. The same old tune that anyone that Donald Trump appoints to a Cabinet position or a position of power is a racist, sexist, homophobe, supporter of the KKK, secret member of the alt-right movement is way past the expiration date. You’ve been doing this for years and frankly the story smells like the cold fish that’s going to be hitting you repeatedly in the face until you wake up to the fact that flyover country is not full of neanderthals.

While I don’t expect People’s Republic of Boulder to lose its smuggery, it’s either going to come down a few notches, or Boulder is going to turn into a place for the isolated and very smug, elite. Not to mention being enternally stoned and having expensive electricity.

The press should start learning this lesson as well.
