I usually get Andrew Sullivan’s Substack Weekly Dish emailed to me. And last week, just before the Nov 8 midterms, he was agonizing over the Biden disaster: “Will Biden and the Dems Finally Get It?
In return for centrists’ and moderates’ support, Biden effectively told us to get lost. He championed the entire far-left agenda: the biggest expansion in government since LBJ; a massive stimulus… mass migration…
Of course, if Trump runs again, Sullivan will vote against him. Because Weimar.

But, Andrew Sullivan, there was a reason you “centrists” got shafted. It was the stitch-up of March 2020, when Biden got Clyburn to swing the black vote to him in the North Carolina primary, and then the Dems got Bernie Sanders to withdraw.
What do you think was the price of Sanders’ withdrawal? How about “champion[ing] the entire far-left agenda”?
So now we get New York magazine via RealClearPolitics, telling us “Why Democrats are Suddenly Very Nervous.” Hey, it’s not as bad as the “historic wipeouts” of 1994 and 2014, and “the numbers show a hardening of right-wing support, not a broad-based move toward Republicans among genuine independents,” but still…
Of course, nothing is said about the 27 percent move to the GOP among suburban white women that I wrote about on my blog which would suggest that the opposite is true.
So really, the 2020 stitch-up, to foil the dreaded Trump, has blown up in the Dems’ faces. Yet they are all just running around in circles obsessing about “the profound threat to democratic legitimacy that the election-denying GOP core now represents.”
Now I am a student of Gaetano Mosca and his The Ruling Class, originally published in 1895. My take is here and here. One of his basic ideas is the “political formula,” the narrative the rulers use to justify their rule. Our ruling class’s political formula? They are a wise, educated, and evolved elite, and only they have the skills and knowledge to administer the country. Plus, they are the Allies fighting for the Oppressed Peoples against the White Oppressors.
Hey, I tell you what, dear Democrat friends. I’d say that, with the total cock-up on the COVID and the “transitory” inflation fronts, your narrative of a wise, educated elite is a little frayed at the edges. And as for the notion of Allies fighting for the Oppressed Peoples, I’d say that most people in America today experience our ruling class as fighting for their own Anointed selves, and to hell with the Benighted, and even the Oppressed Mascots, because if they don’t toe the line “[they] ain’t black.”
