In yesterday's podcast Foxes in the Hen House, I mocked the Left for trotting out Hillary Clinton as if she was the only one who could save the Democrats from getting annihilated in the midterm elections. The article I referenced made no indication of her actually running, but my opening line was "Vote for Hillary!" -- and even though I was being sarcastic, one day later we find this:
CNN ANALYSIS: The whispers of Hillary Clinton 2024 have started
Now, I'm not inclined to brag, or even to give it a second thought, but for those who didn't catch that episode, I offer this summary:
“Friends, we are not up against Hillary Clinton. We're not up against the global cabal, the progressive agenda, the deep state or the democrat party. What we are up against, is the insanity of it all. We are up against the useful idiots who buy the lies. We are up against those who still trust the media, who believe the government wants to protect them, who think that this "incredible transition" is good for the economy and Joe Biden was the most popular president ever elected. These are the people who are still listening to Hillary Clinton." (emphasis added)
And make no mistake, there are millions of them out there. While the Right gloats over their perceived moral victories, the Left continues to out maneuver them in the long game. Contrary to popular belief, Supreme Court decisions in favor of conservative ideals, just before midterm elections, will benefit Democrats far more than it will benefit Republicans. There is every reason to believe that this is little more than political theater, a ploy to provoke the Leftist base, pump up support, and prompt significant policy changes, made in haste, before the Right can regain control.
But let’s take a step back and think about the other trajectories that have come to bare in this moment. Whatever happened to COVID-19? Whatever happened to Monkeypox? Whatever happened to food shortages, inflation, and pain at the pump? Whatever happened to Putin's price hike and the heroic Ukrainians defeating the Russian tyrants? Whatever happened to the Uvalde police obstructing the investigation into their peculiar and abject failure to protect innocent lives?
