I believe all these people (and not just Americans, but also their counterparts throughout the Western world) are themselves insane, and what\u2019s more, they are suicidally insane, while as far as I know, Trump is not suicidally insane. I\u2019ve been saying this for ages, but I will say it again. These people all seem to believe that it is the height of progressiveness these days to welcome into the West people who are not a bit progressive and who already have a track record of deliberately murdering lots of progressives and even of destroying the progressive movement in at least one country (Iran back in 1979). This is like Jews inviting Nazis into Israel, or blacks supporting the KKK. It&#39;s sheer insanity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberals playing the &#39;mental&#39; card is nothing new.
