So, you just discover the nature of politicians? Welcome to the party pal.
No, I just stopped deluding myself into thinking that one party is a even a teensy-weensy bit better than the other.
Trump sailing into the White House in 2016 with GOP majorities in both houses, and then having the entire political establishment turn against him to thwart his agenda kinda did the trick for me.
But keep pushing those pom poms and fretting over suburban soccer moms...as per the likes of Steve Schmidt.
Just to be clear, I don’t attach any importance to “insulting a lib”.
Clooney is an A lister, who’s actually one of the few actors who exudes old fashioned Hollywood elegance and chivalry. And that’s why he’s popular.
It’s also why he is trotted out to try to prop up Biden. Trump’s insult might actually inspire someone like Clooney, who’s probably not a bad guy at all, to look at himself in the mirror. In the same way that a Christian missionary goes out of their way to try to save the souls of drunkards, thieves, and prostitutes, who lost their way but still have the potential for redemption.
Trump’s brash style, along with the entire ruling class’ efforts to destroy him, have inspired many liberals to question their entire worldview, in a way that a McCain, Romney or Bush never could.
I don’t view blue haired leftists as my enemy who we need to “win” performative political victories over every few years. I view them as part and parcel of a society that has lost its way. And only brash men of candor like Trump and RFK Jr are capable of waking up the masses, across the entire political spectrum, to how corrupt our ruling class is.
