CHAOS, CONFUSION, AND CLUELESSNESS

Or, Larry Goes Off

As you know, I’ve read a lot of liberals. One that I read (less than others) is Matthew Yglesias. His most recent screed shows you how MAGA and Trump are still firmly in control and, so far, facing no danger from a serious, thoughtful left. He writes of the four years ago when Trump had “malign potential” and a “broad array” agreed what he did was “wrong”:
Today, I am extremely alarmed, because Trump is back in power and no longer faces meaningful intra-party criticism for his actions four years ago. The whole constellation of pro-Trump influencers, from Elon Musk and Bill Ackman to Joe Rogan, refuses to acknowledge this as a legitimate criticism of Trump that they simply see as less important. They won’t acknowledge it, even while Trump continues to claim he did nothing wrong and promises to pardon the perpetrators.
