Leftist Physically Attacks Conservatives And Septum Ring Theory Wins Again

 The New York Post: Crazed University of Michigan student pushes conservative influencer to the ground in unhinged attack: ‘I should’ve f–king killed you’

Yep, Temulun Togochog hits a guy calmly seated at a table and claims she didn't do it even as it is on camera, then does a sucker take-down on a girl. The lunges at her again after getting peeled off and then resists arrest.

Yep, Temulun Togochognis just another violent and crazy leftist, and crazy is descriptive here - while being arrested she stated she had already been i na  mental hospital - oh and she did videos showing off all her rather extensive psych meds for bipolar and other conditions. 

Yes, the Left will physically attack you for your speech. 

Oh, and she's already been released, and not kept in custody, after assaulting two people and resisting arrest, because it's progressive Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. Oh, and Eli Savit the progressive prosecutor for Washtenaw County is now running as the Democrat for Attorney General for Michigan.

Vote accordingly. 

Meanwhile, The Ann Arbor News downplays the two attacks and resisting arrest with the following headline: 

1 arrested for pushing conservative commentor on University of Michigan campus 

You may hate the media for their dishonesty and bias, but you really can't hate them enough.

Classy As Always, Carville

In yet another demonstration of how the Democratic party treats women who get uppity and dare to not toe the party line, we have the treatment of Haley Stevens.

The New York Post: James Carville slammed for vulgar ‘used condom’ remarks on Rep. Haley Stevens endorsing GOP candidate over Dem Abdul El-Sayed

“The Democrats don’t even think you’re worth a used condom, but that’s about where you are,” said Carville, 82.  

Real classy thing to say about a congresswoman for your party and indeed someone who would have won the US Senate race in Michigan in a walk. 

But no, the party instead decided to run a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, one who excuses terrorism,  and who hangs and campaigns with anti-semites, and now it is an actual competitive race as a result.

In A Show Of Principle Over Party, Democrat Haley Stevens Endorses Mike Rogers For Senate

The Detroit News: Haley Stevens endorses Republican Mike Rogers, shaking up Senate Race

Congresswoman Stevens, in a refreshing action, decided to put America ahead of her party.

Abdul El-Sayed refused to disavow the antisemitism of his surrogates Hasan Piker with his latest crack at West Bloomfield comparing Jews here to the KKK;  Cenk Uyger and his disgraceful ad; and indeed his own campaign ad with Tucker Carlson.

El Sayed is a candidate backed by and for anti-Americans, anti-Semites, Socialists, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thanks to WellSeasonedFool for this cartoon

After getting the back of Abdul El-Sayed's hand and his continued refusal to disavow the divisiveness and hatred coming from his campaign, she really had no other valid option to retain her self-respect.

Indeed one reason for the endorsement could be best summed up by Abdul El Sayed's own words:

 

Holding to principle and endorsing Rogers took guts, and I have a lot more respect for Congresswoman Stevens as a result.

Will Haley Stevens Continue To Endorse Sayed Even After He Spurns Her?

Haley Stevens, beaten by Abdul El Sayed in the Democratic primary, appeared ready to bend the knee and endorse the rtarther controversial candidate for Senate.

 WXYZ Detroit: El-Sayed, Stevens to campaign in Detroit as Democrats seek unity in Michigan Senate race

Then both Cenk Uyger's anti-Semitic ad in support of Sayed and the campaign's own ad with Tucker Carlson came out.

Stevens then requested Sayed to disavow the advertisements.

Cold have been a perfectly staged "Sister Soulja" moment, even with one of the ads coming from his campaign and the other from a  close surrogate of his campaign. It would lull those who have solid and valid concerns about Abdul El Sayed and give some on-the-fence Democrats concerned with his Muslim Brotherhood ties and his hanging out with Anti-Americans and Anti-Semites an excuse to vote for him.

It was not to be. 

Abdul El Sayed, in response to the request in a not so polite manner declined to do so and basically told her to go jump in a lake. 

NBC News: Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed clash over Israel ad ahead of planned rally together

“I therefore expect him to apologize for those statements as well,” Stevens said. “Abdul promises to get money out of politics. He can begin by getting Israel out of his explanation for everything Michigan cannot afford.”

El-Sayed is not affiliated with the group that produced the ad, Rebellion PAC, and his campaign distanced itself from the ad in statements to The New York Times earlier this week.

Stevens also called on El-Sayed to take down one of his own ads that featured right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson “out of the same respect for Michigan’s Black community.”

El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel, shot back Friday, saying in a statement that Stevens, a strong supporter of Israel, “seems intent on relitigating a primary that ended three months ago” and that his campaign’s focus was on affordability and healthcare.

If he's so focused on "affordability and healthcare", why the rush of anti-Semitic ads then, bucko? 

Will Stevens still show up onstage Sunday to kow-tow and rally for El Sayed after getting the back of his hand?  Will the Democratic Party force a farcical show of unity over common sense?

Anti-Second Amendment Slop

A most curious Amicus Curiae brief has been filed in a  Second Amendment case before the US Supreme Court that challenges the assault weapons bans in Illinois and Cook County.

The brief, submitted by “CRIME” is an unregistered group of people whose acronym stands for Citizens’ Response to Increased Muzzle Energy founded by Lee Kranefuss (a guy who got rich in ETFs and decided to go into leftist philanthropy).  Mr. Kranefuss along with whoever authored and approved this brief for filing, apparently knows less about firearms than he does about generating ironic self-owning acronyms.

The amicus curiae brief is rife with historical and mathematical errors that not only undercut its rather zany arguments but makes one wonder if it was generated as an anti-gunner AI's hallucination.

Hilariously, it asserts that Mikhail Kalashnikov based the AK-47 on the AR-15. The Russians will either be pissed as hell for such an ahistorical claim, or impressed that good ol' Mikhail was able to travel into the future to see the AR-15 design and then travel back in time to "copy" it for his AK-47.

But that's not all, it makes a multitude of factual errors regarding firearms, firearms development, and ammunition performance, that anyone with experience or even spending a few hours with some history and reference books can see are blatantly erroneous.

Verily the brief by CRIME is a crime itself - a veritable fraud upon the Court. 

For that alone, the brief should be used for its best and highest purpose  -- as a last resort supply in an outhouse. 

On top of that, it proposes, with a straight quill,  rejecting Supreme Court precedent regarding regulation of  firearms and replacing it with a rather zany, and quite simply non-applicable to the real world, formula to regulate firearms concerning "muzzle energy produced per minute" or as they then refer to it "MEPM". 

It then misapplies its own MEPM formula, because math is hard.

Based on their formula, the AR-15 that they state should be banned for being above their own arbitrarily set MEPM formula amount, actually comes in under that same arbitrary formula amount.  Again, math is hard, and it is harder when you're stupid.

It's a pity that Amici aren't sanctioned for submitting briefs that contain easily disproven falsehoods and misstatements of fact to mislead that should be considered a fraud upon the Court.

Disgusting Anti-Semitic Ad From Abdul El Sayed Suporters

The New York Post: Pro-Abdul El-Sayed ad ripped for being antisemitic has a very sketchy history 

A controversial, anti-Israel ad backing Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed was rebranded and recycled from the failed and illegitimate presidential bid of “Young Turks” co-founder and Hasan Piker’s uncle, Cenk Uygur. 

The ad features a rather false anti-Israel trope blaming Israel for the cost of food in the US, with further false claims, and ends in the "Mike Rogers works for "They/Them" and of course you know exactly who the They/Them the ad refers to are, right?

El Sayed's campaign has not disavowed the ad, but simply stated it is not affiliated with his campaign.

But it sure as heck is from his close supporter Cenk Uyger, who is Hasan Piker's uncle (Progressive Islamists sure are an incestuous lot, aren't they?) and  El Sayed has campaigned and appeared with both of them. 

If anyone thinks the El Sayed official campaign did not know the ad was coming and there was no coordination occurring, well, there's a bridge between two peninsulas in Michigan I'd like to sell you.

Any Michigan Jew that votes for El Sayed after this ad is lower than a Kapo. Kapos were at least forced by circumstances into doing what they did to try and survive, voters for El Sayed have no such excuse.

Australian Anti-Israel Politician Gets Bit By The Crocodile

You feed the crocodile in the hope that it will eat you last. But sometimes hope fails and it doesn't wait 'til the end to snap at you - especially in the case of Progressive Green Crocodiles.

Tablet: Oct. 20: Aussie Anti-Israel Extremist Runs Over Local MP

On Monday, Australian independent MP Helen Haines was deliberately struck twice by a vehicle outside her office in Wangaratta, Victoria, and she lost a leg in the attack, according to Reuters. Haines, a former nurse and midwife, mother of three, and anti-corruption advocate, was allegedly attacked by Brendan Nugent, driving a Toyota Land Cruiser.

jns.org: Australian politician loses both legs after car-ramming attack

An account linked to Nugent contained posts on domestic and foreign policy issues, including Israel and Gaza. He reportedly accused Israel of genocide, described his position as “anti-Zionist” rather than antisemitic and criticized Australian and U.S. officials over their support for Israel.

 Nugent, being a typical violent progressive leftist was apparently also big on being an enviro-greenie, and had posted he agreed with Haines on that point.

Nugent, according to ABC News, is a longtime campaigner for environmental causes who has also posted extensively about politics, particularly with regard to Australian policy on Israel, on social media. He and Haines follow each other on X, and in 2019, he replied to a post she published by describing her as a “politician who takes climate change seriously.”

The Times of Israel: Man who allegedly drove into Australian lawmaker said to post online about Gaza

In May 2024, the account responded to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong writing: “You have not been clear on anything other than giving israel impunity to kill thousands of children.”

. . .

In an undated statement on Haines’s website, she said she is “appalled by the ongoing loss of life in Gaza” and called for an immediate ceasefire and increased international pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while also condemning Hamas.

She ended up losing both legs in the deliberate vehicle attack, likely for being insufficiently progressive enough for the attacker's taste in regards to Hamsa.

Such Greenie-on-Greenie violence is certainly reprehensible, but a not atypical nor unexpected end of a progressive purity spiral.

The whole situation has resulted in an anti-Israel progressive politician no longer having a leg to stand on.

Funny How That "Experiment" Only Went One Way

A fake polling organization was caught faking polling data that directly has influenced the Midterm elections.

The fake poling data all just so happened to be tilted in favor of progressive Democrats, including Abdul El-Sayed here in Michigan, and in Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Maine and Ohio.

When caught, the company now says it was all just a "social experiment" to show how easily it is to put junk data in polling aggregators reports.

All of the junk and manipulated data just happened to be in 100% in favor of progressive Democrats. Funny how that works, eh?

The Washington Times: Bogus polling firm admits to fake numbers favoring Democrats, claims ‘experimental project’

If you really believe that Wedgewood Polling's actions was a social experiment and not an operation to influence public opinion and help the Democrats, and especially progressive Democrats . . .

Well, if you do, you have the words "Gullible Idiot"  written on your ceiling - and you just looked up to check, didn't you?

Parisian Gay Chickens For KFC

Gays in Paris are apparently calling for, checks notes, Sharia Law.  

This could be because they have ignored all the evidence as to what Islam and Islam's adherents thinks about gay people, and mistakenly conflated the idea that since Islam is against Western Civilization and capitalism, it must be an ally.  

In short they fell for the canard that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Not so much. Often the enemy of your enemy is just your enemy's enemy, and nothing more. 

In this case based on past and present performance it's their enemy too. 

 Gays in Paris are calling for Islam and want to live under Sharia. They believe Islam is the only progressive religion and that it will help them dismantle capitalism.This will not end well. 

Funny how they eschew western civilization with its ideas of tolerance that have allowed them to thrive, to jump into the embrace of a far less tolerant socio-religio ideology.

 I can't wait until they really find out how Islam feels about gays. I expect they'll be welcomed with open arms....dropping them off rooftops.

The Stupid, It Burns

During the rioting in France a viral video of a "Youth" rioter (read Muslim teen) blasting a French woman in the face with a homemade flamethrower got quite a bit of attention.

The Sun.com: FRANCE IN FLAMES Horror moment rioter blasts woman’s face with flamethrower as violent protests grip France with almost 2,000 arrested 

The quite violent act  is now being defended by some leftist women as being not serious and noticing the violence is harmful to the immigrant community.

 Indeed, they argue it is so not serious that they've decided to do TikToks blasting themselves with homemade flamethrowers made from spray cans and a lighter to show how not serious it is.

This worked out as well as you might predict for them:

  

 

Stupid is supposed to hurt, but seriously, that's one heckuva hill to self flame on.

Rather amazing that they don't defend or feel much for the woman that was attacked (so much for sisterhood and all that) but are all in for the violent migrant "youths".   Suicidal empathy indeed.

The Same People

That say a woman's hormonal changes are responsible for her postpartum depression and subsequently killing her kids, are also advocating for pumping mentally ill people full of hormones to change their sex and then celebrate them as stunning and brave.

Leading to similar outcomes:

The New York Post: Trans killer blames transition for stabbing hiker 15 times on trail: Victim was ‘what I want to look like’ as one of many examples.

Consistency is not their forte, is it?

Sayed, Lies, And Videotape

Abdul El Sayed has a truth problem.

Namely, he can't tell the truth.

In the latest El Sayed, after may times saying and writing that he was an Egyptian citizen in addition to being an American citizen, he now says he was mistaken about that and he's only been and American, trust him. 

Washington Free Beacon: EXCLUSIVE: Video Shows Abdul El-Sayed Stating He Has ‘Dual Citizenship’ in Egypt and US

He also had it on his resume. 

You see, claiming to be an Egyptian citizen gives him street cred among the left and Islamists.

However, being an Egyptian citizen while also supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its acts of repression in Egypt, supporting the Iranian Regime and sympathizing for terrorists doesn't tend to go over well (yet) in mainstream America. 

So he's now stating he's been "mistaken" for years claiming to be an Egyptian citizen.  That he claims he did he not know if he was or is  a citizen of Egypt, especially when he had visited that country on multiple occasions is rather less than credible.

Townhall: Abdul El-Sayed Made a Stunning Admission About His Citizenship

 A very calculated and self-enhancing "mistake" indeed, Abdul El-Sayed is whoever he wants to be depending on his audience at the time.

Two-Tier DUI Justice In Arlington Virginia

If you're an American in Arlington Virginia, expect to get the full-on punishment and record for driving under the influence, which after all you should because you should not be drunk driving.

But, If you're an illegal under DACA driving under the influence, expect to get a lesser punishment and more favorable treatment to protect you from deportation.

The Post Millenial: DACA recipients charged with DUIs get special treatment from Arlington Commonwealth's Attorney to shield them from immigration law

 It has been revealed that the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the County of Arlington in Virginia testified over the summer that her office has a DUI policy that pertains only to DACA recipients. Commonwealth’s Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti had been subjected to a closed-door deposition in July, and the transcript for the hearing was released on Monday.

That gets the DUI off their record - which gives them a nice privilege that Americans do not get. 
 
The other "feature" of such a program is if they get caught a second time its still a first conviction, and not a DUI second conviction, which typically has a higher punishment than being caught only once - assumign they don;t dicvert it yet again.
 
Got to wonder how many other blue counties have these kind of special programs that put illegals ahead of Americans and give them ore favorable status.

So Macklemore

In a feat of both self-promotion and historical amnesia, has announced he's going to hold a series of "Free Palestine" Concerts.

An interesting choice.

Particularly so for he is promoting the cause of those whose relationship with music festivals and concerts has been, shall we say, somewhat less than harmonious:


Apparently, irony is also a feature of his tour.

What They're Teaching Kids At University of Michigan These Days

I have a friend who has a kid attending University of Michigan as a freshman.

His English class had this as his first required novel reading: 

My Lesbian Novel 

Described as a "genre-bending novel exploring queerness, art and desire through an interview interwoven with a developing lesbian romance".

Because of course they do.

Now, making freshmen read lesbian erotica is standard stuff to Épater la bourgeoisie to show how stunning and brave and progressive they are, along with making students read the article  If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is? Without giving freshmen the viewpoint to challenge the claim. Quick note - It linguistically isn't. At most its a bastardized dialect of English, not a separate language.

Yep, its a progressive incubator with carefully curated curriculoum to push a singular leftist viewpoint. 

Now I'm not objecting to My Lesbian Novel  just because it is Lesbian Erotica that students are paying to be made to read to open their horizons ina politically correct manner (the horizon is only off to the left for some reason).

I'm objecting to it because it's really badly written lesbian erotica:

 For example:

 

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculously disappointing, with such an opportunity lost. 

You do not write a paragraph discussing miso where the woman is anticipating sex and miss the chance to have her reflect: "Miso horny".

Like I said, it is bad genre-bending lesbian erotica. 

Tuition at University of Michigan is $1,150 per credit for instate students and 3,158 per out of state students.  Neither taxpayers nor students are getting their money's worth out of the reading.

UofM: Strong in the sciences and business, but the  "liberal arts" have sadly gone progressively woke - and dumb.

Abdul El Sayed Wouldn't Say It

Michigan progressive Democrat Islamic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed had an opportunity.

He deliberately decided to miss it.

He was asked straight out yesterday at a townhall meeting by an University of Michigan student who his family in Iran ,who have suffered under the Islamist regime, a very, very, simple question:  

Does he stand "unequivocally against the IRGC?"

Fox22Bangor: Michigan student confronts El-Sayed over Iran stance in tense exchange: ‘Do you stand with us?’ 

He refused to answer and instead dodged and switched to saying the USA acted too often as the world's policeman.

It was truly a very simple question.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has killed at least  100,000 pro-democracy Iranians in the latest uprising against the theocratic Iranian dictatorship. The same folks who lead crowds in compulsory chants of "Death to America". The ones who beat women who don't wear hijabs. The models for the bad guys in Margaret Atwoods's Handmaid's Tale. Those guys.

It would have been very easy, and indeed reassuring to moderate voters, for him to have said that yes he does. Verily, any normal person would be against a massacre of 100,000 pro-democracy innocents.

He would not. 

Because both he and his base are for the IRGC and support their despicable acts.  

This is the same Sayed who would not comment on the death of Iran's dictator Khamenei because per his words "there's a lot of sad people in Dearborn" -- namely himself and  his supporters -- who were so sad about it.

Note well, neither the Detroit News nor the Detroit Free Press covered this exchange, which is rather interesting.

So we now know that El-Sayed stands firmly with America's and indeed the Free World's enemies.

Archfoolishness: The Archbishop And The Imam

The Archbishop of Canterbury, a known arch-progressive, and the first female head of the Church of England, in a fit of wokeness publicly honored a Muslim Imam -- on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. 

She awarded him the Hubert Walter Award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation 2026.

The Muslim imam in question, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi himself had presented an earlier award.

He presented it to Osama Bin Laden.

Ashrafi awarded him the title of the award of "Sword of Allah"  and that's not all. Ashrafi has supported suicide bombing,  Islamic terrorist attacks against Britons and others.

Most people would consider this to be highly irreconcilable and uncooperative regarding other regions.

When these issues were pointed out, and a public outcry over the insanity of giving it to the Imam in the first place ensured, the award was revoked. 

MSN/Christian Daily International: Archbishop of Canterbury revokes award to Pakistani cleric after bin Laden remarks resurface

Ashrafi received the Hubert Walter Award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation 2026 from Archbishop of Canterbury Dame Sarah Mullally at Lambeth Palace in London on Sept. 11, the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the United States.

. . . 

The immediate controversy over the Lambeth award concerns comments Ashrafi made in 2007 following the British knighthood awarded to author Salman Rushdie.

Media reports quoted Ashrafi as saying that the Pakistan Ulema Council would honor bin Laden with the title “Saifullah”, meaning “Sword of God.” He described bin Laden as a “mujahid” (holy warrior) who had fought for Islam against Russians, Americans and Britons. 

National Post: Head of Church of England rescinds interfaith award given to Muslim cleric who praised bin Laden

We may also note that the archbishop, who has made feminism a keystone of her liberal progressive archbishop focus, and has publicly vowed to call out misogyny, also had no issues presenting the award to the Imam as female members of his family looked on - in full burkas. She then failed to call out such misogyny.  Funny, that.

The lack of self-awareness among the progressive left and their complete blindness to the clear anti-progressive intolerance of Islam is rather fascinating and disheartening.

Of Course They Did

After Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour following his Gaza stunt—bringing partisan politics and what critics called antisemitic imagery onto the stage—he was out.

His past antics probably didn’t help either, including a performance in which he appeared to give a Nazi-style salute while dressed as a stereotypical caricature of an Orthodox Jewish man.

Off the tour he went.

And now the predictable outrage has arrived: the Left claims his removal somehow violated his free-speech rights.

So, of course, Dearborn’s Progressive Muslim mayor has invited Macklemore to perform a free concert in Dearborn—sponsored by the city and, therefore, supported by taxpayers.

Of course.

The Detroit Free Press: Dearborn mayor invites rapper Macklemore to perform free concert

Then there’s Hamtramck, another Detroit-area city with a large Muslim population.

Its former police chief, according to reports, advised officers that wife-beating should not be treated as a formal crime because it isn’t prohibited under Sharia law.

That claim takes on an especially ugly dimension given allegations that the former chief himself repeatedly beat his wife. Those allegations are just that—allegations—but they make his reported position on domestic violence all the more disturbing.

 Law Enforcement Today: Michigan: Muslim Police Department Chief Advised Officers to Follow Sharia Law 

The chief is now out of the job amid allegations involving this conduct and other corruption issues. He was also the founder of the NYPD Muslim Officers Society and the Yemeni American Law Enforcement Officers Association, and I'm sure there's no possible issues with either of those organizations.

The larger point is difficult to miss.

A movement that presents itself as progressive and tolerant can still make plenty of room for people and ideas that are deeply hostile to liberal democratic values.

And the history is hardly new. Islamist movements have, at various times, found common cause with fascist and Nazi movements, including the infamous alliance between Nazi Germany and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem beginning in the 1930s.

How very progressive.

A Collision At The Intersection Of Intersectionality

Among the many things we've learned from the Lindsay Clancy trial and its ignominious end, he most entertaining -- and illuminating -- is what happens when intersectionality collides with itself. 

 

 

Before it was revealed that the holdout juror was a Black man, progressives were all up in arms against him. 

They assumed he was white and therefore an oppressor -- and thus a bad person.  He was a bad person for not being sufficiently empathetic to Lindsay's plight.  After all, in this framework, a woman who claims to have been suffering from mental illness when she killed her kids means she's the real victim and deserves empathy. He was even more bad for going against the "wisdom" of the female jurors, who were being noble and empathetic and trying to make this about something more than just the acts Lindsay Clancy committed and her mental state at the time.

Once the progressive pundits found out the juror was a Black man, they needed to recalculate their oppressor-victim equation and promptly divided by zero. a

After all, by their standards, who is the greater victim and who wins the Victim-Oppressor Olympics now that it is known the holdout was Black? 

Is it the lone Black male being nagged, hectored, and lectured incessantly by white women who claim to know better and are thus whitesplaining the issues to him?

Or is it a white woman alleged to be suffering from postpartum psychosis who killed her three children?

How do they decide who wins when empathy and intersectionality is all you have to go on?

It is entertaining to watch them struggle. But beneath the humor is a rather sad commentary: this kind of intersectional “analysis”—in which people are assigned points on a hierarchy of group victimhood and empathy is elevated above objectivity and facts—has become a mainstream way of determining who is right.

When intersectionality becomes the primary lens through which a situation is judged, the facts become secondary to the identities of the people involved.

And when two supposedly competing categories of victim and oppressor collide, the resulting calculation gets very complicated.

Especially when someone forgets to account for the possibility of a Black man being the holdout on the jury.

At Least Some Michigan Democrat Supporters Are Waking Up

Crain's Detroit Business:  Democratic donors break with party to back Rogers over El-Sayed in Senate race

It remains to be seen whether the defections amount to an isolated break or a broader problem for Abdul El-Sayed. 

Hopefully it will indeed be considered a broader problem as all but progressives realize who he is and what he represents.

Good to see how some at least are waking up and not falling for the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" and "Sacrifice Yourself for the Democratic Party" lines.
