"But Barnes’s politics are, to quote the immortal Bob Uecker, “just a bit outside”."

The Democrats are outside. Joe Biden has ensured that unmistakable branding by failing to project any sense of moderation in his policy support, and by adopting all the extreme policies and rhetoric of the radical left that has taking root in the old party of the working class.

This is the mistake of the tone deaf left-coast liberals and socialists. They are in their bubble. Their media feed are in the same bubble. They seek their safe ideological spaces and cancel out any noise of opposing view points. They have denigrated and dismissed those that don't adopt their political view 100% as uneducated & stupid... and now dangerous and fascist. For example, I am sure Charlie will get feedback to ban me for this post.

The Democrats won power in DC only because of the pandemic and the election shenanigans it allowed them to leverage. Kudos for them to get that done. But then the big mistake happened... to see their barely squeaking by majority as a mandate. To start patting themselves on the back that the public will eat their same ideological dog food.

Trump was President and got 74 million votes. The Senate remained split. The House lost seats.

It is ironic that the hand-wringing here is about Wisconsin... the state where leftists attempted an insurrection and occupied the state capital for 100 days. The state that passed right to work laws. But the state that was turning a more blue shade of purple. Now it is going back to red. It is going back to red because the Democrats have turned blue into something that the average American isn't buying.

RonJon is just a consequence of the terribleness of what the Democrats have become. Barnes represents that well.

So you call me a moron in your first post. And now stupid.

And yet Charlie keeps letting you spew.

So clearly it a desire for ideological safe spaces and not the civility of the poster that matters to some "journalists".

I like hearing from you though. It confirms the profile of the chronic loser and social malcontent who bloviates invective to make up for his shortcomings... of which clearly for you there are many.
