(1/?) Many, many people are on the brink of finding out, (the hard way), that the states created the federal government, not the other way around.

Pete Buttigieg is the latest star to emerge from Democrats’ 2020 pack, which is no surprise since he exhibits all the tropes we have come to associate with this party in the era of its Trump derangement.
