All of those stupid things go against common sense and ultimately that is always a losing argument. Its nice to see that common sense still brings the pendulum back towards the center. We have seen it happen firsthand in Seattle over the last couple years. If it takes another Trump term to really drive home that point to the looney Dems then good. But that is probably wishful thinking that they will remember lessons learned. They have basically repeated the Hillary mistake in 2016 this time around.

Great read on the death of the Progressive moment. From defunding the police, to the extreme climate agenda, to the crazy illegal immigration policies. These positions were never popular outside of the white college liberals who espouse them. https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-progressive-moment-is-over

Democrats higher ups wanted a face to the party they can lead around by the nose such as Biden & Harris. I come back to the now Republican, Gabbard. She checked an intersectional box, she’s intelligent, she’s articulate. Alas, she’s likely too independent-minded and therefore not an empty vessel to fill. Dems lost that strong candidate. It could have been a fight for the centre. For all his blather, Trump did and will govern as a moderate. Democrats willfully gave up the centre to lurch far left with weak candidates as faces of the party. Obama put them in that tailspin that I don’t see them pulling out and learning should they lose the senate and presidency.

Been so long since it's rained, people forgot how to drive in it. Can't wait for the first snowfall commute of the year.

Winds have picked up at Crown Point. I believe the winds should increase during the day. I may have to go and visit there after work 🌬
