Having an insulated, isolated utopia where the rest of America is locked out allows everyone to play the part they want. E. Jean Carroll gets to pretend she was defamed and walk away with almost a hundred million. Jimmy Kimmel gets to pretend he’s a good guy, never meant to smear MAGA, and receives glowing headlines in the wake of it. Kamala Harris gets to pretend she ran a successful campaign, but America was too racist and sexist to vote for her.I used to think this was our biggest problem, this two-tiered society, their castle in the sky. But after Charlie, now, it is so much worse than that. Why can’t they see what they’ve become? Why can’t they see where it has taken us?Perhaps it was the immense outpouring of love for Charlie, the overwhelming grief of so many people, and the admiration for the impressive movement he built, which helped change the country and elect a president, that made them feel a little bit jealous.They don’t have anyone like that on the Left because they can’t do what Charlie did. They can’t have conversations with people they see as “Nazis.”
I don't think I mentioned this but a couple weeks back I went to Northampton - the Berkeley of the East - to a "forum" on immigration. I am 100% sure I was the only person in this church who wanted to shut down the border and curb illegal immigration. There was absolutely no discussion to be had here about the potential downsides of an open border. Instead it was a bunch of left-wing greyheads who wanted to cosplay the Woodstock generation and congratulate themselves on their stunning and brave "resistance."
After the hour-long comparison to the Underground Railroad, I stepped up to the mic to ask some questions and it was immediately obvious that I was the skunk at the garden party. They didn't want a discussion - they wanted a monologue.
To her credit, the pastor thanked me for my comments and I think she was sincere. But otherwise it was just another afternoon of virtue signaling here in the Pioneer Valley.

You are not supposed to ask questions about reality when speaking to a democrat. They are not qualified to discuss the subject and it really makes them mad.
I actually felt bad like a lawyer badgering a witness.
