I know of no left-wing publication that has followed the example of the right-wing Federalist and run <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2018\/06\/21\/america-wont-see-go-without-epic-fight\/\">quasi-pornographic fantasies<\/a> about murdering political enemies. (\u201cClose your eyes and imagine holding someone\u2019s scalp in your hands,\u201d began a recent Federalist article.) Unlike Trump, no Democratic politician I\u2019m aware of has urged his or her followers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/donald-trump-incitement-violence\/\">beat up opposing demonstrators<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  Instead, some progressive celebrities have said some bad words, and some people have treated administration officials with the sort of public opprobrium due members of any other white nationalist organization. Liberals are using their cultural power against the right because it\u2019s the only power they have left, and people have a desperate need to say, and to hear others say, that what is happening in this country is intolerable.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2014 Michelle Goldberg, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/06\/25\/opinion\/trump-sarah-huckabee-sanders-restaurant-civility.html\" title=\"New York Times: We Have a Crisis of Democracy, Not Manners\">\u00a0We Have a Crisis of Democracy, Not Manners\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Liberals are using their cultural power against the right because it\u2019s the only power they have left, and people have a desperate need to say, and to hear others say, that what is happening in this country is intolerable.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2042],"tags":[14,1396],"class_list":["post-12282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-politics","tag-trump"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12282\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
