There’s a word for this, and that word is “chickenshit.” But we’re getting used to it at this point, it seems – as Colton Hveem noted yesterday half the country appears to have a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Including this clown, whoever he is.

So this just happened again… somebody used a pick axe to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame. Still trying to learn more, but we know it's been vandalized multiple times, just never on this level. @NBCLA 📸: Victor Park/Loudlabs pic.twitter.com/lzq7YrsSRV

This has happened before. In October of 2016 a nut named James Otis destroyed Trump’s star and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce put down a new one. They’re going to do the same this time – they’ve never taken down a star in 56 years.

So it’s a pointless exercise to destroy the star. What did this imbecile seek to accomplish? To hurt the President’s feelings? To irritate the people who voted for him?

There is a certain species of individual, who seems to populate the American Left more than other ideological cohorts, for whom this kind of behavior appears to be common – and among that species it seems it passes for virtue. Here’s another example floating around the internet, though we can’t confirm it’s the real thing…

And then there’s the video evidence…

That was the insane woman who refused to sit next to a Trump supporter on a plane. And of course there was the nut who harassed Ivanka Trump on another flight…

Or the morons screaming “Shame!” at Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen while she was eating at a Mexican restaurant…

Or the harassment on trains…

Or at restaurants…

Or the leaving of notes on front porches…

All of this stuff is part of some sort of proto-Civil War the Left seems to be trying to stoke. It’s not violent per se, though sometimes it descends into violence – but it’s more of an extreme unpleasantness aimed at provoking violence. So far, for the most part, it hasn’t achieved that aim and it’s made Trump supporters more resolute in their convictions. But if it continues it might well bring on the violence.

For now, though, there’s one thing we can certainly say – which is that it’s making American life less enjoyable. Not just for Trump supporters but for everyone. It would be nice if some of these people would take a step back and consider that regardless of whether their positions are correct, their actions most certainly are not – and where those actions lead is not to a result they want.
