huxley —

As I recall “The Fourth Turning” the Boomers would become the Prophet Generation leading the Millennials, the Hero Generation, who would do the heavy lifting in the Crisis.

There’s nothing to say that the Prophets leading the Heroes will be on the side of Good. The antebellum Prophet generation in the south was just as much to blame for the Civil War as their counterparts in the north.

I would argue that the faction of the Boomers (consumed with Selma Envy?) have been leading the Millennials doing the heavy lifting of inflicting wokeness on us all and causing the Crisis that way.

It is very simple to understand: During the primaries, Trump was, well, triumphant. He was doing well with the public and looked like a shoo-in for 2020. So who can the democrats toss into the ring, knowing that those tossed in were simple place holders, sacrifices as it were. Then COVID came ambling along and the democrats seized on it as a holy cudgel with which to pound Trump. Between the (inflated) case/hospitalization/death numbers and the high panic induced by the democrats (with a special hat tip to the media, but I repeat myself), Trump took an nose dive from which he could not recover. COVID did its job, help eliminate Trump. But by now they were invested in what can be considered the most incompetent and pathological candidates ever. Ooops.

Managed decline folks. And it’s intentional.
I can’t believe Harris was their best choice for VP. The New York Times post-mortem expose of the Harris presidential campaign was a devastating indictment of her incompetence. They’re both frauds & we’re in big trouble.

I wonder if they really believe that their actions could bring down the world they live in. Things are running. They’ve always been running. There’s nothing to worry about. We’re just going to do a better job of milking the system, and Happy Days will be Here Again Forever!

Meanwhile they scream like Chicken Little about Climate Change.

Also there were no good choices among the Democratic field. Tulsi was sane. Maybe Yang. Neither ready.

At one debate the entire slate of candidates rose their hand that they would give free health care to illegals.

@Art Deco:They had plenty of say…

a) Superdelegates; there are still enough of them that they have the casting vote in any close contest.

b) Sanders suspended his campaign in April and endorsed Biden, which prevented it from ever being a close contest requiring superdelegates to be the casting vote (which they would never want to be or it gives the whole thing away). After that there was essentially one candidate left with any sort of support, Joe Biden.

@M Bunge:When Democratic primary voters were told they HAD to vote for Biden

There wasn’t anyone left. The Party had seen to it.

Bernie isn’t any more competent anyway. If anything less so.

“They had plenty of say, but primary donnybrooks are weirdly vulnerable to preference cascades.”

And after Clyburn gift-wrapped those wins for Biden, the Democratic political establishment and the media went all in with a “You must vote for Biden” message unlike anything I recall in the past.

Say what you will about GOP primary voters but when told they HAD to vote for a Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio, they responded “Screw you! We’re not voting for those jagoffs!” When Democratic primary voters were told they HAD to vote for Biden, a candidate many had already considered and rejected in their own minds, they said “Yes sir! Whatever you say, sir! How high should we jump, sir?”

John Edwards made a lot based on junk science attacking the implant industry.

Also I’ll note that the ADA who prosecuted Kyle Rittenhouse seemed ignorant. He asked Kyle why he didn’t buy a handgun, to witch Kyle responded “I couldn’t legally do that “. Pretty bad when the 18 year old defendant knows the law better then the ADA.
