I am amazed at the levels of insanity, darkness, hate and violence that characterize the political left today.

I have been seeing discussion that the “other side” is struggling with a split between Leftists and Liberals.

Leftists are actual communists. They see class warfare. They see an economic struggle. They want to overturn the system.

Liberals are do-gooders who like to feel smug and morally superior. They are ashamed of nothing and offended by everything. They care about Trans stuff. They care about Ukraine, Palestine, Venezuela, etc. They care about recycling. They care about a lot of stuff which is just fun to complain about.

Now, a fair number of ordinary Americans know that wages have been flat for a long time, and that inflation has made many essential parts of life extremely expensive. This is the “affordability” problem. There is at least some possibility that some of these ordinary Americans could be attracted to genuine Leftist ideas — let’s overturn the system! Class warfare! Economic struggle! The Leftists see this possibility and would like to take advantage of it by appealing to ordinary Americans.

Meanwhile, a very large number of ordinary Americans see the Liberal craziness (the “Karen” problem, or the “woke college student” problem) and the ordinary people say “I hate those people. I hate the Left.”

This divide helps us. But if the blue-haired crazy Liberals fade away, the communist Leftists are likely to get stronger.

Unfavorability stats can be misleading when it comes to predicting an election because the reasons for the unfavorability can vary widely between voters. Sometimes, Voters from a president’s own party will give higher unfavorability ratings because not enough is getting done. Voters who support the opposition party may give unfavorable ratings of their own members because they are not being sufficiently oppositional. But in an actual election, those kind of voters will both support their respective sides.

collapse of support for President Trump

I guess that's why Raffensperger, Cassidy, and Massie won big over Trump's endorsed candidates in the primaries.

Oh, wait. That didn't happen.

The fuse has been lit. The only ones who can put out the fuse are the ones who lit it in the first place and they don’t want to do so.
