The road to change goes through rural America — if Democrats would only travel it

Raw Story  

Crime is down in America. You know how much good Democrats have done for America, so let me sharpen my point but quick and tell you that sadly, tens of millions of other Americans don’t. Understand, I’m not bagging them here, and actually think they are running many strong races across the board, but I also think they need to …

Remember the rules, liberals: Only the right gets to mock America

One can always expect a coward to utter clichés and reinforce conventional banalities. Judging by the abundant of references to Hillary Clinton’s notorious but largely correct 2016 assessment that roughly half of Trump supporters represented the “basket of deplorables,” thanks to their "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" views, that was the worst trauma visited on the American public since Pearl …

Italy’s Election: What it tells us about post-Trump Republicans.

Slate  

Italians woke up Monday morning to the prospect of a post-fascist government, nearly eight decades after Benito Mussolini fell from power in Rome. And as profiles in leadership go, Trump’s minute attention span and lack of interest in actually governing make Berlusconi’s own stunt-laden premierships seem almost sober by contrast. In fact, this entire election campaign was sparked by Berlusconi’s …
