However, despite their success in the 2020 elections, the Democrats cannot quite seem to move beyond their hatred of a few key political figures \u2014 both on the Right and the Left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here are five such examples of figures who live \u201crent free\u201d in the minds of the American Left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Donald Trump<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The most obvious instance of this phenomenon is seen in Leftists\u2019 undying obsession with former President Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though the 45th President left office nearly four months ago, he continues to serve as the chief object of hatred for American progressives. For some, hating Trump for four years became a core aspect of their work \u2014 and perhaps even their personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Democratic leadership in Congress were not content with dethroning President Trump. For the first time in history, they impeached a Commander-in-Chief who had already left office \u2014 a move that 92% of Democratic voters supported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jamie-raskin-second-trump-impeachment-a-dramatic-success-trumps-lawyers-explosive-and-deranged\"><span>dubbed<\/span><\/a><span> the effort a \u201cdramatic success in historical terms,\u201d and the \u201clargest impeachment conviction vote in U.S. history,\u201d despite the Senate failing to convict Trump of any charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Days later, House Democrats introduced the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cnsnews.com\/article\/washington\/michael-w-chapman\/democrats-introduce-bill-prevent-trump-being-buried-arlington\"><span>No Glory for Hate Act<\/span><\/a><span>,\u201d which would prevent federal dollars from honoring \u201ccertain former presidents\u201d who \u201chave been twice impeached by the House\u201d \u2014 a provision that would extend to a ban on burial in Arlington National Cemetery. Trump is the only former president to fit the narrow criteria for the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Joining their allies in the federal government, journalists openly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/4-times-the-media-admitted-they-miss-trump\"><span>admitted<\/span><\/a><span> the void in their life that remained after Trump\u2019s departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThrilling, without a single boring day: That\u2019s how I\u2019d describe my four years as an enemy of the people,\u201d said Yahoo News journalist Alexander Nazaryan of his antagonistic relationship with the former Commander-in-Chief. \u201cCovering the administration was thrilling for many journalists, in the way that I imagine storming Omaha Beach must have been for a 20-year-old fresh from the plains of Kansas. He hadn\u2019t signed up for battle, but there he was, liberating France.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tucker Carlson<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Fox News host Tucker Carlson is another object of the Left\u2019s continual ire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most recently, CNN anchor Brian Stelter devoted an entire three-minute <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cnns-brian-stelter-plunges-again-in-ratings-after-host-obsesses-over-fox-news-and-tucker-carlson\"><span>monologue<\/span><\/a><span> to branding Carlson as \u201cthe new Donald Trump.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTucker has taken Trump\u2019s place as a right-wing leader, as an outrage generator, as a fire-starter, and it\u2019s all happening on Fox, just like Trump\u2019s campaign did,\u201d said Stelter. \u201cI mean, think about all the ways these two men are similar. Every day, Carlson is throwing bombs, making online memes, offending millions of people, also delighting millions of others, tapping into white male rage and resentment. Stoking distrust of Big Tech and the media, generally coarsening the discourse, never apologizing for anything, and setting the GOP\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSounds like a recently retired president, right?\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Days earlier, Carlson sent the Left into a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/tammy-duckworth-says-fk-tucker-carlson-after-fox-news-host-criticizes-pregnant-military-members-1575536\"><span>frenzy<\/span><\/a><span> after he stated that specially-designed uniforms for pregnant military members reflect weakness in the American armed forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cF\u2013k Tucker Carlson,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TammyDuckworth\/status\/1370070356992667650\"><span>retorted<\/span><\/a><span> Sen.

Joe Manchin (D-WV) \u2014 the most moderate Democrat in the Senate \u2014 draws unending criticism from the progressive wing of his party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For instance, after Sen.
