The Cold Civil War Is Now on Defrost, and the Right Still Isn’t Ready

Just before Tuesday’s election returns started coming in, I found myself confused.

We had gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia where GOP candidates who had once appeared in competitive positions to win were flagging, and badly, other races around the country were ringing alarm bells for the Republicans, the government shutdown was hitting five weeks, and it was obvious the Democrats were using it to mobilize their base voters in ways Republicans weren’t doing, and what was the Right occupying its time with?

Tearing the Heritage Foundation apart because its president, Kevin Roberts, voiced support for longtime ally Tucker Carlson.

And why? Because Carlson did an interview with the boorish Nick Fuentes that wasn’t sufficiently nasty.

Now it’s a day after the election as I write this, and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, the architect of the shutdown is cackling away at the “shellacking” that President Trump and MAGA took in the elections, and Schumer and his House counterpart Hakeem “Temu Obama” Jeffries are triumphantly giving written orders to the president.
