Insightful, as always. I was also a never-Trumper - until I watched the national media utterly whore itself. Two years into the Russia hoax BS, I was done. What I find most fascinating is that while those on the Left claim to be "woke" - to have removed their blinders - they're the demographic in this nation the most fully engaged in self-deception. The fact that Wall Street and Silicon Valley both cater to the far-left woke crowd isn't a measure of their political power (as they seem to believe): it's a measure of how easily manipulated big business believes them to be.

Interesting times ahead - I suspect the Left will become only more bitter and hateful, less able to put aside its own lies and deceptions, less able to take a reality check.

I still think the left is painting itself into a corner that won't end well.

There was a lot of great comments here that have been deleted! I thought you were against cancel culture? And then someone disagrees and you delete all the comments? That's seems to be exactly what you're opposed to. I thought your problem with Democrats was they were so Puritan and if you made one wrong step, you could be banned. And then you banned someone for disagreeing with you! Fascinating.

He unsubscribed, by the way, before I banned him. And you can surely do the same.

That is not what cancel culture is. Cancel culture is ruining someone's career for what they think. I have a right to erase the comments on my own site. Moderating comments is not cancel culture. I don't like arguing and I didn't want to keep that argument around. Look, all he said was what you can find all day long on twitter or on any major platform in media. That is the status quo of what people think: all Trump supporters are racist. It's wrong.
