An Existential Threat...

First of all, let me send along my personal best wishes to you and yours for a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Great!  Now that that's out of the way, lemme' transmogrify to the subject of this unassuming little rant.

How many times have you heard the term "existential threat" in the last year or so?

100?  1,000?  More?  I would suggest it's mucho more.  And that's because it's become the favorite, go-to word of the "Progressive Left."   And if you watch cable TV no doubt you've heard it to the point of gag level.  Everything that the Republicans do, it seems, is an "existential threat" to something or other.  To life.  To liberty.  To humankind.  To our very way of life!  To planet Earth!  

So-called "climate change" is one of those "existential threats," it seems.  And America is completely, totally at fault.  And that's despite the fact that China and India are to blame for more than 50% of all atmospheric pollutants.  But most importantly, Trump is an "existential threat" as well.

They never explain quite how, but God knows, they believe it is and he is.

Perhaps these feckless bozos are unaware that "existential threat" means an end to life as we know it.  As in, dying.  Being wiped out.  Like a nuclear blast.  Or a comet strike.  Nothing left but rubble!  

Oh yeah, and Starbucks coffee shops...

They've even told us, with straight faces, that the World only has 12 years left to "live."  They say unless we stop all air travel and train travel and do away with SUVs and stop using oil and gas and start using windmills and solar farms, we'll all perish.  As in, go away.  Poof!  Oh yeah, and some say it's less than 12 years.  Some say only 10.  And some say it's as little as 8 years!  

Imagine that:  Unless we revert back to the pre-Industrial Age, we'll be dead by the time Donald J. Trump completes his second term...  

But to them, it means he's messing around with the laws and rules and regulations that they hold dear.    And taking liberties with policies and procedures that they think he should leave untouched.  And they've got to somehow force him from office before he actually FIXES stuff.  'Cause that would prove that an ordinary businessman can come to D.C. from somewhere else and then fix stuff that a whole cadre of politicians who've infested Washington, D.C. for forever have screwed up.  Mightily.  And something tells me they're not going to be successful.

Whaddayou think?
