Why is the Left so angry about Trump's proposal to annex Greenland.
The Left is so angry at this proposal because it goes after one of their sacred cows. They teach that three is an historical inevitability in the march towards socialism/commnism and that the decline of America and other capitalist nations is unavoidable and in fact a good thig. They want us to continue to manage our own decline and do so gladly, as the Europeans have done. National suicide. But vigorous societies grow, they don't shirnk, and Trump is talking about growing ours. This is a reversal of the script, of how it is supposed to go. This infuriates the Left. They see it as a return to the "bad old days" of colonialism, or if they are honest to just national pride. Can't have that! So they will fight this to their dying breath. Their halitosis-laden dying breath. No argument will sway them, not even if the Greenlanders themselves vote to join the U.S.
Leftism is a cult of death. They want nations to die to empower international institutions and the New World Order. And they want to break the power of the U.S. so that this new order may arise and nations eventually disappear, subsumed into the international socialist order. That really is how they think. And of course they won't let Trump win any battle, no matter how sensible his proposal.
Trump is to them the Emmanuel Goldstein of 1984 and everyone must scream at the top of their lungs in the two minute hate.

Then, too, the Left is angry about all things Trump. And all things that don't emanate from... the Left. Which, considering the Left doesn't generate many ideas these days, means "just about everything."
