Marianne Williamson struggles to keep staffers, part of an ongoing pattern

 

Marianne Williamson's staff problems are becoming the stuff of political legend.  Back in March when she announced her presidential campaign, Politico dropped a bombshell story in which multiple staffers accused her of being an abusive boss who seemed to be in a constant state of road rage.  [...]

DeSantis' Problem Isn't Trump, It's That Dems Rigged The Last Election

 

 

[...] If enthusiasm for DeSantis seems lacking, maybe it has little or nothing to do with DeSantis or his campaign.  Perhaps what we're seeing is less about him and still less about 2024 or the upcoming GOP primary scrum, and more about what happened in 2020.  Put bluntly, [...]

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Lets the Secret Out.  COVID Was Engineered to Protect 'Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese'

 

At a campaign event in New York City, alleged Democrat presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy stunned his audience by asserting the COVID-19 virus had been engineered to target "Caucasians and Black people" while, in some Passover-like manner, sparing Chinese and "Ashkenazi Jews."  [...]

I read another one last night (didn't mark it) in regard to the Ds' fear of the Green Party sucking away votes.

In Michigan, prepping the groundwork for stealing the 2024 election

 

[...] the State of Michigan has charged 16 Republican state electors with multiple felonies for allegedly attempting to "overturn" the results of the 2020 election.

 

Their crime?  Reacting to the obvious fraud that happened right before their eyes in that hotly disputed election.  [...]

Vivek promises to shut down specific government agencies on his first day

 

Vivek Ramaswamy [...] has very detailed statements about how he intends to curb the federal government.  Not only does he name the departments he intends to cull, he claims to know how far his executive power can stretch to make it happen.  [...]

The Undumpable Biden

 

Listening to Republican media pundits counting the days until the Dems abandon a scandal-ridden president, I have to wonder what kind of fantasy world these Pollyanna types inhabit.  [...]

Tim Scott Is Too Soft to Be Our Nominee

 

The rap on Tim Scott is that he is too nice to be a modern Republican, but that's wrong – he's too weak to be a modern Republican.  The man consistently defaults to submission to the woke left, but the times call for a warrior and his brand is soft surrender.  [...]

DeSantis Has Discovered No One Likes a Copycat

 

[...] Like something conjured in a mirror, DeSantis copies every political stance and gesture Trump has made in the past eight years.  But instead of supplanting Trump in the minds of the Republican base, the Florida governor appears to be fading.  [...]

Honestly I do not see anyone beating Trump, but it is nice to see there are a number of viable candidates in the GOP as the Democrats have nothing but old corrupt career politicians.

[Dashinka 24,635]

Seems to deal more with the upcoming election than anything else, so posting it here.  I must say, this was written by a complete pompous a--.  I have never read such elitist garbage in a very long time.  I hope David Brooks never needs an actual person to say change their thermostat, or service their car.  The answer to the headline question is yes, you are the problem, and it is not "progress", it is regress.

 

What if We’re the Bad Guys Here?

 

We anti-Trumpers often tell a story to explain that. It was encapsulated in a quote the University of North Carolina political scientist Marc Hetherington gave to my colleague Thomas B. Edsall recently: “Republicans see a world changing around them uncomfortably fast, and they want it to slow down, maybe even take a step backward. But if you are a person of color, a woman who values gender equality or an L.G.B.T. person, would you want to go back to 1963? I doubt it.”

 

In this story we anti-Trumpers are the good guys, the forces of progress and enlightenment. The Trumpers are reactionary bigots and authoritarians. Many Republicans support Trump no matter what, according to this story, because at the end of the day he’s still the bigot in chief, the embodiment of their resentments, and that’s what matters to them most.

 

I partly agree with this story; but it’s also a monument to elite self-satisfaction.
