Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing bit.ly/2R7Q8Ds
"If the New Dem Party was smart, it would do what the old Dem Party did long ago: always sound centrist if not conservative in the last weeks of a campaign, get elected, then revert to form, pursue a left-wing agenda for 1 or 2 years, then repeat the cycle every 2-4 years"
"Evidently, the new progressive and radical Democratic Party is far more honest—or perhaps far more hubristic—than in the past. So what now looks and sounds like a wolf is a wolf. Democrats have learned nothing and forgotten nothing from 2016."
" Or rather, they still believe it is 2008 all over again, with a host of wannabe Obamas on the 2020 horizon, all appealing to identity politics, Maenad feminism, and neo-socialism."
"The hipster theory is that 30 percent of the present electorate will always vote en masse for unapologetic progressives, and that bloc number, due to changing demography and persuasive street theatrics, soon will grow to 50 percent of all voters."
"More to the point, the strategy of hating Trump 24/7 and fueling the 90% negative media coverage of the president had seemed to be a winning hand—given that Trump has usually below 45% approval in most polls, and pundits promised a huge blue wave neutering Trump’s last 2 years"
"As the economy kept booming and things overseas calmed down, the Democrats found it harder to run a campaign strictly against either the ogre or the incompetent Trump."
"So they stayed on the offensive and did not bother to hide their agendas of open borders, “Medicare for All,” abolishing ICE, identity politics quotas, radical feminism, abortion on demand, and climate change hysterias."
"The first disaster was disrupting senate confirmation hearings, on the part of both senators and paid operatives in the gallery. Hysterics by Senators Cory “Spartacus,” Kamala Harris, and Richard Blumenthal soon gave the impression that Democratic stalwarts were unhinged."
"After all, somehow the Democrats had managed all at once to 1) lose the vote on Kavanaugh; 2) to ensure that the Bushite Kavanaugh likely would become so radicalized by the horrific treatment meted out that he would not follow the usual David Souter liberalizing trajectory,"
"3) unite Republicans and more or less end the Never Trump factionalism, 4) go on record of opposing due process of law and rejecting the entire political and cultural tradition of American jurisprudence, and
5) so discredit their opposition to a court nominee, that next time around everything they do and say about a nominee will be seen as mere go-through-the-motions leftist boilerplate."
"The second disaster was condoning and indeed empowering street thuggery. Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder went full Maxine Waters in parroting the new incivility..."
"They seemed to think most Americans enjoy pampered protestors getting in the faces of their opponents to scream, yell, and in general go berserk."
"It is never a wise thing to be in alliance with young Bacchants shrieking as they scratch the closed doors of the Supreme Court or rude young activists swarming someone at a restaurant and screaming obscenities in a nasal voice."
"A third mishap was senator Warren’s amazingly stupid ploy of releasing her DNA ancestry test before the midterms."
"Warren somehow adduced that a person with about a 1% likelihood of being an indigenous person (more likely from Central and South America than from the American plains) somehow was proof of her long-feigned minority status."
"That Warren worked in cahoots with newspapers (@bostonglobe) to massage the gambit, as refutation of Donald Trump’s “Pocahontas” ribbing, backfired when it took the media two retractions to get down the basic math of Warren’s infinitesimally tiny Indian bloodlines."
The reaction was obvious: if someone can cajole a minority billet for careerist purposes based on a 1-percent ancestry, then every American can be anything he wishes. And when everyone is everything, then no one is anything—and the racial basis for diversity set-asides is dead.
"A fourth forced error was the illegal immigration “caravan” now butting up against the Mexican border."
"We saw last summer how identity politics activists and progressive operatives colluded with counterparts south of the border to stage entries, in which the media portrayed illegal crossers as victims of a cruel ICE that gratuitously separates families."
But that script is worn by now, even though it was timed on the eve of the midterms. The idea that major Dems would be calling for the abolition of ICE as thousands of illegal entrants near the border is surreal."
"This time around, most Americans will shrug that Trump really is right and that a wall will not only keep illegal crossers out, but do so in a way that does not separate families."
"That is, non-U.S. citizens can do whatever they like in organizing their family structures and relationships, but on their side of the border."
"But give progressive wolves credit. Unlike liberals, they are as they talk and act. They are at least proud of their agendas of remaking America in their own image—and in the last few weeks that image is appearing a veritable nightmare."
