Sociopathy is what living in the mental prison of ideology will do to your brain.

Thank you for writing this post. As a resident of New England, I watch this senator's antics -- on a wide range of issues where she poses as an expert -- and it has been truly depressing. She's actually not that popular among the broad swath of voters. But such are the voting dynamics of state-level elections -- low turnout, widespread apathy, the lopsided influence of single-issue and special interest groups like teachers' unions, lack of good alternatives -- that she's unlikely ever to be defeated in either a primary or general election.

Well-written, I agree. The uncanny tone deafness is stunning. Does she know *anyone* outside her weirdo progressive circles?

Thanks, Claire. I think it was in “The Road to Wigan Pier” where my old pal Mr. Orwell remarked that the worst advertisement for socialism is socialists. I feel much the same about abortion and pro- abortion activists. Their mendacity, bad faith and malice reflect poorly on the so-called pro-choice cause and on progressivism generally. Elizabeth Warren personifies those unsavory traits, which have been well on display since Dobbs was handed down.

It’s been a relief to turn my attention from the fraught topic of abortion to a report on my expedition to deepest Dollywood—coming soon.
