but it's getting awfully uncivil on the Left.
The big showdown on the shutdown is a disaster for the Demos and, if the real purpose was to deliver last Tuesday for their machines, they may find it wasn't worth it.
What we have is a brewing all-out war between the crazies and the old Commies. If the Demos aren't careful, we may see Congressional (and judicial) term limits.
The showdown was a disaster for the Demos. Anytime Donald Trump offers a carrot to the other side, the other side better watch out. This time was no exception. Chuckie had a chance to give in, but didn't take, assuming, as always, the Rs would fold. They didn't and the Demos got zip, absolutely nothing for a month of Sturm und Drang. Moreover, many Demos tried a little CYA by admitting that, yeah, the whole "starving babies" gag was all they had and the "natives" (fake but accurate) were getting restless as the hardcore screamed about a cave, which, let's face it, is what it was.
Now you have Kathy Hochul refusing to fund Madmani's little Animal Farm, along with Donald Trump. And the illegals are still on their way out the door.
I can only hope all the people who did those TikTok videos where they're crying over the starving people and broken families got paid well. Some of them were quite credibile.
Until you noticed there were no tears, no wet faces, no sniffling, no quivering lower lips.
And there will be tons of ads next year showing people like the Dick from IL denouncing the whole thing for what it was, holding people hostage for their eating money. If this doesn't convince a lot of Demo voters the the memorable advice of the Silhouettes
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum-mum, get a job

The pushback from Hochul was interesting, clear and without hesitation.
Also appreciating the article linked to on Insty where Rod Dreher lays out the reasons for some of the unrest and trouble stirring among those coming of age in a political environment built on lies.
"The inability of us older people — Boomers, Xers, and older Millennials — to comprehend the world through the eyes of Zoomers is a big, big problem. Another strong theme: while it’s important to take a clear stand against anti-Semitism in the ranks, there is no way to gatekeep our way out of this. You cannot simply point at the Zoomers and say, “Thou shalt not,” and expect it to work. The problems are too deep and complex, and anyway, they have learned to have no respect for authority.
Why should they? The institutions of our society, as they see it, have lied and lied and lied, and still lie. They still lie in many ways about race (e.g., refusing to be honest about black crime), they lied about Covid, they lied about males and females, and they forced the insanity of gender ideology on us all. The military lied about Iraq. The universities embraced and enforced ideologies of lies. The Catholic Church lied about sexual abuse, and the connection to the prevalence of sexually active gay priests honeycombing the institution. They lied about the benefits of mass migration and diversity. They lied about Trump and Russia. The political parties and their corporate allies lied about what globalism would mean for ordinary people.

From a comment left on neo, this unattributed quote:
“The right thinks about power the way a wine snob thinks about alcohol. The left thinks about power the way an alcoholic thinks about alcohol.”
To a certain extent, we've all had that. Remember Ambrose Bierce and HL Mencken?. This is about the outsiders on the social media age who seem to exist without human contact, using only the Internet.
They are manipulated by the stooges of the Dark Web. Think some of the modern day cults, no outside contact, the group is all.
