Gerard Baker: "Democrats' Deception May Win the Presidential Election Again"

Agreed.

More and more I suspect that people just don't have much idea what they're doing when they vote for the newest incarnation of the Dems--and, no, I don't think the situation is symmetrical with respect to Republicans. With some exceptions (e.g. Clinton), the Dems just keep moving leftward. And of course, they've rocketed leftward in the last ten or so years. They keep moving the Overton Window leftward. And said window is really something like: the perception of the majority about what constitutes a reasonable position. Leftists start agitating for Some New Thing, and most people--even ones who aren't for it--probably don't have the intellectual resources required to say, roughly: we're not going to even consider that option. Though, of course, if you have to say something like that, you've already lost that part of the battle...

   Anyway, Baker is right. One of their many tricks is to campaign as centrists and govern as, well, Democrats. Another way of moving things leftward.

   But guise...it's progress!!!

   It's like, right in the name...

   LOL "progressive."

   

   Anyhoo, Baker is right, and others have said it. Even me: Bill Clinton wouldn't be welcome in his own party if anyone there actually cared about him as anything more than a marketing gimmick. He retains some vestige of relevance because he remains quiet--except, of course, when they trot him out at e.g. the convention. Obama, too. Though I began to suspect long ago that Obama may actually agree with The Recent Moonbattery. Some think he did a lot to jumpstart it. Me, I don't know. He did work with Derrick Bell...but I don't know whether he's ever said anything about where he stands on CRT. Anyway. At first I was disappointed that neither Clinton nor Obama--nor, basically, anyone else (other than a few crackpots like James Carville and Roy Teixeira) have seriously criticized the madness that possesses the Democrats.

Well, that's all I got.
