I looked through the search engine, and this article was not mentioned, after two years.
Still remember my father saying to my mother," why do subscribe to that sh!t."
But when it came to the sunday New York Times, my mother read the fashion pages, and obituary's religiously. My dad would read it and say "All the News fit to tint".

Trump agrees. He blames conservatives for the 2022 midterms loss.
That is why Trump has been attacking conservatives and endorsing RINOs.

The only way to elevate the moderate Republicans is for Congress to use its constitutional authority (Article I, Section IV) to change how we vote, and create electoral opportunities for a center-right to rise again. In the House, this would mean multi-member districts with ranked-choice voting.Um.........NO. Commie rat bastard.

"Restrictive" and "barriers to." What a load of crap.
According to the leftists, studying and turning in homework is barriers to black achievement in schools. Requiring an ID is a barriers to voting. Requiring one to be a girl to compete in girls sports is a barrier to fake men. Requiring women to be physically competent is a barrier to them being firemen or soldiers.
To hell with them all.

We feel the same about them. In the past, we were live and let live until your actions affected someone else. But they pushed, and they pushed, until they pushed too far! They went after our children!

Things have changed since 2021. Notably the Ukraine war and ongoing economic problems.
The article puts down Poland’s PiS for instance.
But since 2022 the very anti-Russian PiS are the good guys.
And Merkel’s reputation has suffered terribly.
And that’s just in Europe.

When a Leftist says “democracy” he really means “socialism”.

Lindsey Graham was responsible, with his national abortion ban nonsense, so Trump is not wrong. With the added Biden bait and switch of college debt forgiveness , the right had no chance to capture gen z votes… which ultimately lost many races.

Normal people don’t attempt to refute total nonsense—they just rightfully mock it.
