Playing the part of Cassandra has become a bit tiresome hasn't it?

<RANT>
Unlike Cassandra, it's not like we have a gift of prophecy bestowed by the Gods, we just notice and speak out on the BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS.

But we DO get the Cassandra Curse of not being believed until well after the disaster strikes. And then they hate us.

Years of this. We are proven right over and over again and then treated with contempt by Republicans, the "media", and people who should know better but are outraged that we speak out. We're labelled as"Unhinged", "Deranged", "Out of step", "Why we lose", "Libtards", "Snowflakes", "Sore losers". The list goes on. Shut up! We're right AGAIN you fucking traitors. And yes I'm going to use that word even though I'm told by these same idiots that doing so somehow hurts my "Cause".

Well, here we are again. Everybody is learning what we have known since the Summer of '16.

It does really all boil down to bruised/threatened (often male) egos in the end.
