Smugness

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Just as they did in 2016 when Trump beat Clinton, liberals in the media are crying "how did this happen?"

Like the Democrats, the left leaning media have learnt nothing in the last eight years.

Conservative commentator Liam Hehir has an insight for them: "One unhappy but undeniable reality for me is the dominance of liberalism in media, academic and state institutions. It is a dominance that prevails across the western world and is so entrenched that it is just taken for granted. That leads to a lot of arrogance and daily hypocrisies that are often hard to endure. In no small measure, the appeal of former US president Trump finds its provenance in reactin against liberal smugness and cocksureness. No person has more persistently frustrated the cultural and political elect than the former real estate developer."
