Everything should be private property = Nothing should be private property. Because the extremes meet. That's science logic. See?

Marxism = Corporatism.

Sure. Makes sense to me.

One more point, Hawley and every other Republican in the Senate have approved every judicial nomination of corporatist, anti-worker and anti-union judges that crossed their desk. Other than police and firefighter unions. That's not exactly populist ideology.

"We have now given this far more thought than Josh Hawley, which officially makes us elitists who are out of touch with ordinary Americans,..."

I am darn ordinary. I have an ordinary house. I wear ordinary clothes. And you, Doktor Zoom, are not out of touch with me. You stay the course and keep on pointing out that these clowns are, in fact, clowns.

This is nothing new. The idea rich "insiders" are going to sell out the US to the Commies has been around for decades. Gary Allen's 1971 book None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a classic example of this conspiracy theory.

Not only is he an idiot, he's also a voter frauding idiot.

He puts down his sister's house in MO for purposes of voting while his principal residence is in VA.

Yes, that's voter fraud.

It's really almost always Republicans who are purposely committing it with no consequences -- meanwhile that Black woman who accidentally voted because she thought she could was immediately jailed and is serving a five-year sentence in Greg Abbott's state where, lest we forget, the State's Attorney General has been indicted on multiple counts but also not only walks around free, but is still practicing.

White male supremacist system to hoard power amongst a particular "class" of people still very much working as designed.

Because their formula is biblical. They, the good people, the believers, grapple with the primrose path. Every time they slip and have to ask God for forgiveness, they are on the primrose path. The Opposition, OTOH, is absolutely evil. Whether it's socialists, or Jews, or Muslims, or Black people, or French people, or scientists, they are always evil incarnate. Their identity as liberals is secondary.

He's in the Bargaining stage: trying to negotiate his way out of having been the guy who set Trump in motion by actually promoting Sarah Palin for the White House.
