Mind-Boggling

Lucianne.com links to an editorial at the Issues & Insights website that says something that is passing strange, but according to a recent Gallup poll, true nevertheless.

For the past year, Democrats up and down the leadership ladder have been on an endless campaign to portray Republicans as delusional out-of-touch anti-science hate-mongering conspiracy-peddling vote-suppressing anti-vaxxer insurrectionist racists. The result has been a huge shift in party preference: away from Democrats and toward Republicans.

While many D voices have been involved in the smear “campaign,” the troika of Schumer, Pelosi, and Biden have been at the forefront, the "leads" as it were. Meanwhile a Greek chorus of the Squad plus Bernie, Elizabeth, Stacey and Maxine sings backup. I&I quotes Gallup as follows:

Both the 9-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the 5-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991.

Napoleon Bonaparte famously said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." With majorities in both houses of Congress and the Presidency, Democrats have no excuses; they’ve shot themselves in the foot. Imagine what further self-carnage another year of this arrangement will enable them to achieve.
