Introducing Adam Louis-Klein to the Thacher Report

Now that we hosted an event and started a WhatsApp, let's reframe the discussion.

Two relatively quick observations about the unelected militias in Minneapolis and the sad fact that Hamas won the Democratic party but happily lost in Gaza

What's it like outside the liberal Democratic party/mainstream media/academia fortress?

A New Unifier / Democratic Hyper-partisanship

Step away from the partisan, sports-fan coverage "my team is better than your team" to see the positivity of the off year/odd year election results in a few states earlier this week

Democrats are now in a shrinking blue bubble. Most Democrats I encounter have never had sustained social contact with working class or Republican voters. They tend to denigrate Republican voters as being in a cult, stupid, gullible, racist or all of the above.

This does two things. It implicates the Democrat’s superiority, and it makes Republican voters undeserving of empathy or curiosity — they’re just the enemy. When they’re assassinated, no big deal. When they garner more votes than Democrats, there’s no lesson about how to appeal to more voters, it’s a harbinger of the End Times.

Why would you listen to the left if you want new ideas?
