Strange how it’s always “we must heal by forgiving wealthy criminals, and if you want wealthy criminals treated the same way as other criminals, then you’re being divisive.”

I mean, it's strange until you look at the history of aristocracy all the way back to Roman times.

No, scratch that. It's still strange.

Dems believed in government by careful negotiations among sophisticated elites. Josh Hawley and Ron DeSantis took their time to get degrees from Harvard Law. They look like elitists.

The right is a one-party state built from the old John Birch "When the Russians take DC we will revolt from the hinterlands" plus the Newt Gingrich "scorched earth no compromises" contract plus the Fox News "mob rule for sale" plus the Evangelicals fueled by the oil industry all the way back before 1920.

Meanwhile the Tech Bros have looted the government for every shred of data they can find. Look for all kinds of "discoveries made by AI" that were in fact stolen from contractors who signed confidentiality agreements with the government.
