We’ve learned in recent years that when the Left’s theories are contradicted by the real world, they stick with the theory.  If the laboratory mice aren’t behaving as predicted, the problem isn’t the theory; it’s the mice. — Stephen Moore

While Moore stated this several years back, we are seeing it illustrated today. The Democrats lost big last year running on a platform of wokeness, environmental activism, mass migration, antisemitism, and trans activism. They were doing more than using these as a political platform, they were running the country with these as their lodestars. Speech police existed. Gas appliances and gasoline-powered cars were to be banned. Illegal aliens were welcomed into the country using resources extorted from legal residents. Hamas was supported. Boys were allowed to play in girls’ sports if they pretended to be girls and anyone objecting was punished.
