Pale Pastel Politics

     The acquiesence of Leftist and Democratic Party positions into the Republican Parrty has come not from the “GOPe”, “Con Inc.”, or the the “Surrender Caucus”, but the very people who wished to purge them in order to “fight”. From choosing to echo previous Democratic Party platforms to outright talking like a New Dealer, there is increasing agreement on Leftwing positions like Obamacare should be saved or that solar panels should be subsidized. If there is a political choice when it comes to power, it isn’t about a question of policy. The obvious can no longer be denied.

JD Vance may have had the best debate performance in the past 25 years against a man who increasingly looked out of place. But our side is way too focused on the performance and less so on the concerning number of nearly indistinguishable policy differences between both men. pic.twitter.com/dR3s7apnax

     This shouldn’t come as a surprise. The New Right is just the Old Left who were “mugged by Wokeness”.

     The differences are not stark bold colors, but the pale pastels that used to define what a squish was on the Right. It is the choice between a woke Leviathan and a trad Leviathan.   It is a very epitome of a false dilemma fallacy.

     We forgoed a choice to embrace the echo.
