...it would be called "Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage".

It really is hard to keep track of all the crap that the left is pissed off about these days. Do you guys keep a list...or maybe a compendium?
If Democrats protest everything with hair-on-fire outrage, will anything end up sticking with the American public beyond their infinite indignity? If they cry wolf every 12 hours, will the effect of their urgency wane over time? Instead of presenting an alternative vision, will they end up looking simply like a party of outrage?
"We need to be guided by a positive message about economic growth for everybody and a country that includes everybody," says Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who has expressed concern about the party's focus in reacting to Trump. "We can't respond to everything. You have to decide what to respond to based on what your vision for the country is."
As I've said before, its impossible to discern what the Dems actually are in favor of, or stand for. Hillary's message in the last election amounted to:
- Don't vote for the other guy 'cuz he's scary, and;
- .....?
Problem is, I don't think most Dems are as hard core lefty as their leadership, so coming up with a message that resonates with the average American might be pretty tough for them. So griping may be all they have left....
Yet given that Trump's approval rating is hovering between a respectable 45 and 49 percent depending on the poll, the fury emanating out of Washington and other major American cities is likely disproportional to the country at large. To some Democrats, this is a flashing alarm that incessant full-throated opposition is counterproductive.
