This quote from National Review pretty much sums it up.

“Progressives” don’t want a nation of independent people. They want obedient supplicants.

 

[Brewer]

Similarly, we’re a society divided between those who want to be left alone and those who refuse to leave others alone. From your HOA to Congress you’ll find tyrants everywhere.

I like the word supplicant but I think they should have used a different word.

I was thinking I was in need of new glasses.
I first read that as "succulent". I think I do need new glasses.

How about “mendicant”? I use that for the gimmedats often.

I think sheep would have sufficed. But I digress....

If only the Government could get something back from the Baby Mamma's. No energy source there. Just a big carbon footprint.

Wikipedia: “As of March 10, 2021, of the 117th United States Congress, the CPC has 92 members (90 voting Representatives, 1 non-voting Delegate, and 1 Senator), making it the second largest ideological caucus in the Democratic Party (after the New Democrat Coalition) and the third largest ideological caucus overall (after the Republican Study Committee). The CPC is chaired by U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).”

That’s 92 out of 541, or 17%, of Congress. And about the same fraction of Very Liberal voters. Outside the Democratic Party, trying to scrounge a few pwcwnt votes from Progressives in an election year, nobody gives an F about ‘em.

The demise of the Conservative and Independent voters - that’s troubling.
