Cuomo did not prove to be an excellent public servant. He was a corrupt douchebag who routinely sold out the voters by empowering the GOP in the state legislature, and treated the voters like idiots. That he was a repulsive groper was icing on the cake.

It's ironic that corporate CEOs are now handing Trump the reins to their companies. Because their (and their predecessors') efforts to slash the top tax rates, carve out tax loopholes, and shirk regulation are a big part of what brought us Trump in the first place.

What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.

This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
