I haven't been able to resist a few 'I told you so's this year. But now it's time for a mea culpa.
For the past year and a half, I've been a bit of a Josh Hawley fan boy. I loved his speeches and shared them with folks. I joked about quitting my job to work on Hawley 2024. >>

>> But this was naive, and I should've known it. Hawley has indeed, as his biggest donor declared yesterday, "revealed himself a political opportunist willing to subvert the Constitution and the ideals of the nation he swore to uphold." I hope his career is over.
I'll add Tucker Carlson here as well. Never was a huge fan, but I used to enjoy and plug a lot of his monologues. But he too has revealed himself in the past year as a cynical charlatan who cares nothing for how many lives or laws he destroys with his rhetoric.
Last night on his show, he pandered to "the proles," claiming that the elites despise them and only he truly cares about them and their problems. Except at the same time he missed no chance to stoke their anger and resentment. No one does that to someone they truly care about.
Those who really love and care about the disenfranchised white working class, the trailer-park Trumpers, know that love means telling them the truth, not lies, means helping them find ways of reconciliation, rather than nursing resentment, means giving them hope, not rage.
