Because they have a persecution complex, they're always being "attacked" and "lied" about so their defense is bitterness and anger. They nor Trump are ever in the wrong and anyone saying otherwise is spreading propaganda and lying. They see their enemies (liberals) as subhuman and pathetic. Same also goes for the left as well in some instances but it is much more prevalent on the right going by these forums and many of my personal connections, family included.

Do you mean the extra 10 trillion in debt, the extra racial division, pushing Islam in schools, Benghazi, the state department corruption, FBI corruption, IRS corruption, citizen groups and Conservative targeting, etc. Need I go on?

And that has what to do with this supposed left fanaticism lol.
I know i know, obama drove over your dog
Well the comment you're replying to doesn't have a whole lot to do with left-wing fanaticism, but your reply to it sure does.
That's the problem that many of us in the middle have right now: those of you on the left utterly and completely dismiss very real issues that came to be under Obama's watch with a casual hand wave and a derisive snort, then turn around and go right back to screaming about things that haven't even happened.
Might they happen? Sure, I suppose there's a chance Spicer will step up to the podium Monday and issue a statement saying "lulz gotcha we really are all queer hating Nazis, oh and we hate chicks and black folks too" and put on a white robe and hood but....a lot of you folks on the left talk as if that's already happened. And it makes you look shrill, misinformed, alarmist, and like you're just making # up because you can't figure out a legitimate platform to attack from. And you do this all while acting as if everything was sunshine and butterflies under Obama's administration.
Just the other day I had another member send me comment after comment about how I really really was better off under Obamacare, I just didn't realize I was. And my responses that no, I paid significantly more money under Obamacare than I had been before it came along fell on deaf ears because they were too busy trying to explain how some other person getting to pay a fraction of a percent less for care somehow actually benefited me.
I'm not going to pretend that the right has some moral high ground when it comes to attacking the President here, but I thought I'd point out one of the biggest behaviors of the left that causes problems for those of us who are neither right nor left.

But, but...Trumpism is also fanaticism. What's your point? The only thing we know for sure is - don't drink anyone's kool-aid.
Admittedly there are some elements of Trumpism that are fanatical, except it pales in comparison.

Probably not so your assumption about where I was going with that is wrong. I didn't extend any further out than what my words say, they are prejudiced against other humans (liberals). It's akin to racism except on a political level.

Yet every time the word "liberal" is said, what feeling do you get? Be honest with yourself.

Yet you complain about "liberals" all the time, using the word as a kind of slur. Don't deny it either, you know you do.
Are you complaining about yourself and calling yourself a slur? It seems like you are either changing the meaning of the word to fit your argument or you have bought into what someone else has turned the word into judging by your posting history. Probably a bit of both if we're being honest here.
