You can’t be tired, Obama told Georgia
Difficult as it is to maintain a sense of optimism this holiday season, it lifts one’s spirits ever so slightly when someone like Bill Kristol sees light at the end of the tunnel and it is not another Trump train. Kristol breezily predicts a new generation “building a better politics.”
But in Moore County, North Carolina the lights are still out. Gov. Roy Cooper calls last weekend’s power infrastructure attack “a new level of threat.”
Some generation or other does not want a better politics. It wants chaos and anarchy. That generation is not one Kristol intersects often, I’d wager. Someone tweeted that you risk being run off the road in Moore County for displaying a Biden bumper sticker.
Supporting Kristol’s premise, the party Donald Trump promised would get tired of winning keeps losing to Democrats’ lead attorney, Marc Elias. There’s that. Plus the fact that “normies” have had about enough of extremist-right bullshit that they gave the U.S. Senate back to Democrats last month.
Now we have to restore sanity to the Supreme Court and make loons like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jim Jordan footnotes to history.
It’s a process. An exhausting process. But we can’t be tired.
