To which we tin only say: Huh?

Trump is nan pro-freedom candidate. On energy, speech, regularisation and everything else. 

And wherever precisely is this move duo readying to “fight back” here? 

On abortion, which Trump has been pellucidly clear he’s successful favour of letting individual states legislate?

Trump improved his statewide capacity complete 2020 by almost 12 points.

For Pete’s sake, he did amended successful nan Bronx and Queens — virtually 2 of nan astir divers places successful nan world — by 22 points. 

So it’s safe to opportunity New Yorkers agree with him successful hugely expanding numbers. 

Remember? New Yorkers? Those pesky voters whose interests Hochul and James are expected to beryllium representing?

Above all, nan move shows that Dems. Just. Will. Not. Learn. 

They consciousness entitled to rule, nary matter what nan predetermination results really say. 

When they lose, their consequence is undemocratic delirium for illustration this and naked contempt for nan voters themselves. 

It’s axenic Bertolt Brecht: “Would it not beryllium easier for nan authorities to dissolve nan people, and elite another?”

And nan further Dems spell down this path, nan bloodier their losses will be.
