The Democrats and Election Day

For John, BLUF:  I think a lot of Democrats are in denial and approaching 8 November on "a wing and a prayer".  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Massachusetts Congressman Warns Republicans About Chickens

From Victory Girls Blog, by Ms Toni Williams, 29 October 2022.

Here is the lede plus four:

Massachusetts is a special place. Men seem to come out of there full of arrogance, but lacking a substantial soundness. C.S. Lewis called them men without chests. “Men without chests”:

In his book, The Abolition of Man, Lewis was prophetic in pointing out that relativism—the idea that there are no absolute truths—would lead to the decay of morality and a lack of virtue within society. Without a belief in and the teaching of universal moral laws, we fail to educate the heart and are left with intelligent men who behave like animals or as Lewis puts it, “Men without Chests.”

Jake Auchincloss seems to me to be one of those men.

Mr. Auchincloss (D) is in his first term representing the Fourth District of Massachusetts. He was previously a Republican and an Independent. Mr. Auchincloss is a Marine Major in the Individual Ready Reserve now, but during his active duty days, he deployed to Afghanistan and Panama. He graduated from Harvard and the Massachussets Institute of Technology. The Auchicloss family is prominent in the state and he is also related to McGeorge Bundy.

One might think someone with that resume would be substantial. One would be way wrong. By the way, his father is Deputy Director for Anthony Fauci. Yep. That explains so much.

Yes, the Massachusetts Fourth Congressional District.  It would make Governor Elbridge Gerry Proud.

So, the Congressman, loooking forward to 8 November, "said that on election night there will be a lot of disappointed GOP candidates and they should watch their words because there are a lot of disturbed individuals in this country."  He is saying that the disturbed in these United Ststes are all Republicans and to bring up Rep Rand Paul or the shooting of the Congressional Republican Baseball Team (or, I assume, the man lookikng to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh) is just whataboutism and can be dismissed.

I will try to remember to cheeck out his web page on 9 November.
