Will the Republicans Really Lose — Again?
Remember just a few short weeks ago: Donald Trump’s heroic defiance of an assassination attempt was grudgingly admired even by opponents, while the Democrats were in disarray over what to do about their demented president running for re-election – and, to compound their dilemma, his highly implausible replacement. Trump looked like a shoe-in as the next President. All the best commentators were saying so.
Yet now, the Democrat Left establishment — with the most cringeworthy candidate ever proposed by a major party — are back in the race. Even allowing for the bias of the opinion polls, the very notion that this ludicrous woman should be taken seriously by anyone is a damning indictment of America’s politics and where it is taking the world.
That intensive coaching prevented her from making a fool of herself in the recent debate is heralded as a remarkable achievement, which in a sense it was.
Recall that something similar happened in the midterm elections in 2022. Two years of disastrous and authoritarian policies by the Biden Administration led to confident predictions that the Republicans would trounce them even more thoroughly than usually happens in midterms. In the event, they did not trounce them at all, and the blowback to the governing party was even milder than usual.
So what is going on here? (…)

As a coda to this article, a feasible method for dispensing with the political class is laid out in my new book, Who Lost America? Why the United States Went "Communist” — and What to Do about It. Some are now calling it “The Baskerville Solution,” which in my vanity I must say I do not mind, even though I did not devise it alone. In fact, it is actively operating already among men acting spontaneously, though we will all save ourselves a lot of grief if we stop obstructing it and start offering some constructive guidance.

You are correct! Men have an inborn desire to protest women and see them as victims. Now that our society has put their thumb on the scale, the balance of female/male power is skewed in a pathological way. The result is that men are dominated and made 2nd class.
I read it fine in American Thinker, without an account.
This was a great insight....

This becomes clear by glancing at the constituency of “Kamala.” The very fact that everyone resists glancing confirms that we are terrified of an elephant in the room. Quite simply, she appeals to adolescent girls, including superannuated adolescent girls: fans of Taylor Swift and their elders who have grown into J.D. Vance’s “childless cat women.” What should disquiet all of us is not that Swift endorsed Kamala, but that such a fuss is being made about it and so many consider it important. Such voters do not worry overmuch about police-state methods and violated constitutional rights or millions of deaths from lethal “vaccines” and needless wars, so long as they can feel “joy.”

But, these people DO HAVE "morals" and a "just cause"....
In concerts in Melbourne and the UK which I know of, and possibly others, Taylor Swift got her crowd chanting "F... the Patriarchy! F... the patriarch!.."
Also, one of Taylor's hits was a song titled "The man" where she sang of how much better her life would have been if she'd been born male!
Endless war on men - their own fathers, brothers, and even sons (for the perpetual "adolescent") is their cause - and feels just great! And, yes, this is Kamala's constituency, along with the liberal men - who similarly are dedicated to the one great "cause" - war on other men.
