Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius, We are currently watching the wokest elements of the left realizing in real time that they are a tiny minority and that most Americans hate them and their ideas.

Liz Wolfe@LizWolfeReason "Contra Matt Yglesias' newsletter, I really don't think it's all that hard to understand why the kids are shifting rightward, or what cultural + policy preferences this amounts to.

This defendant went into the capital and walked down the corridor. He was not accused of violence. He did not break anything. He did not hurt anybody. He was sentenced by a jury to 19 months in prison he was overcharged by the prosecutor to the point where it should be called malicious prosecution, and a judge rubber stamped every single thing the prosecutor asked for. The most egregious part of these filings was that the government introduced a 22 minute video montage that spliced together key breaches that occurred that day. They introduced that video to a jury even when the defendant in question is only shown on that video for less than 60 seconds. . . " Read the whole thing.
