Andrew Sullivan: We are going through the greatest radicalization of the elites since the 1960s. This isn’t coming from the ground up. It’s being imposed ruthlessly from above, marshaled with a fusillade of constant MSM propaganda, and its victims are often the poor and the black and the brown. It nearly lost the Democrats the last election.

California and Florida Battle for the Soul of a Nation
California fancies itself imposing its cultural values on other states and tackling global warming independently; Florida has a more modest view of what a state government does. People are voting on all of this with their U-Hauls.
Liberals and Media Turn July 4 into America Bashfest
The Statue of Liberty was not a symbol of freedom but a symbol of hypocrisy. The flag was polarizing. The national anthem doesn’t speak for everyone (or anyone). Even fireworks are racist. Hot dogs are safe for now, but give it time — considering Brandeis University is already banning the word “picnic.”
Trump Organization Indictments Are a Travesty of Justice
We’ve seen the nation grow ever more partisan in recent decades, with each party starting congressional investigations into the other when it’s in power. But this is a new frontier. Offices like the Attorney General of New York and District Attorney of Manhattan, which should be focused on crime, not politics, have become inquisitions, trying to mete out the revenge Nancy Pelosi couldn’t.
Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” Adaptation Is Going to Get Him Canceled
The raging, petulant, stupid but click-baity op-eds write themselves, all of which will share this implicit message: Jews stole our music, insulted our accents and are making bank on our pain.
Vogue’s Jill Biden Cover Is So Fawning It Would Embarrass North Korean Propaganda
Vogue famously refused to profile fashion model Melania Trump. It was petty, though not unexpected considering how it operates. But the spine-snapping effort by the press to create a mythology around the Bidens is something to witness. It’s not enough to say the Trumps were bad, the Bidens must be elevated to the status of religious figures.
As Biden Bumbles, It’s Fair to Wonder Who’s Running the Country
Joe Biden is the granddad of the country, and when you listen to Granddad, sometimes you wonder whether it’s safe for him to be near a pair of scissors. No big deal, though; it’s just that there’s this guy who looks like he’d have trouble using Google Maps and he happens to be in charge of all the nukes.
The Tide Is Turning Against the Woke-Liberal Blob That Misrules Us
For the past year, liberals unleashed on the nationan avalanche of ideological nonsense, coupled with brutal pressure to conform. Those who bucked the party line found themselves canceled and had their opinions subjected to mockery and claims of delusion. Until now. Because the tide is turning.
Was Mask-Wearing Pointless, After All?
People may not want to learn that millions of us covered our faces for 15 months for no good reason, after all.
Fauci’s Emails Should Put an End to the Cult Media Built Around Him
The correspondence make it clear that Dr. Fauci’s private beliefs have been radically at odds with his public guidance to US leaders and the American people. Worse, the emails reveal a bureaucrat more interested in protecting Communist China’s public image than finding the truth about the coronavirus.
It’s Been a Year of Antifa and Unchecked Anarchy
No one will forget how Democrats played footsies with the thugs for political advantage. They fed the malicious lie that police are “systemically” racist murderers of black people.
Enough of Fauci’s Lies
Fauci has changed his mind about almost everything else, from masks to herd immunity to opposing Trump’s ban on flights from China in January 2020.
The Woke Takeover of the U.S. Military Endangers Us All
Imposing anti-American racial ideologies on our troops directly threatens our national security, by spreading ideas that undermine confidence in the principles underpinning our Constitution, trust in our system of government and traditional values that promote unity, cohesion and equality among service members.
“Saint” Fauci Is a Lying Sinner
He has flip-flopped on every piece of advice, never admits doubt and tells lies with brazen indifference.
Insisting on Masks Despite Science Is Partisan Posturing Gone Mad
Conservatives made a big show of resenting masking as some sort of government excess; in response, liberals seem to have taken mask-wearing as (in the words of Reason’s Robby Soave) “the MAGA hat for Team Blue.” On either extreme, science and common sense have gone out the window.
Sorry, They’re Called “Mother’s,” Not “Birthing People”
“Birthing people” should be a line in the sand for all decent and rational Americans. It is not a question of so-called “political correctness,” which is often a simple matter of politeness. The phrase is not only an insult to mothers everywhere; it is an attack on reason itself.
Hollywood’s Hypocritical Protest of the Golden Globes
Now Hollywood realizes the Golden Globes are meaningless? Such perfect timing, now that viewership has tanked and there is seemingly no awards show — not the Oscars or the Grammys or the CMAs or the SAGs or anything, really — that a pandemic-battered America wants to see.
Biden Failed Us on the Critical Issue of Vaccines
The J&J debacle is where Biden and his people deserve the blame for their actual mishandling of the coronavirus response…At the moment of truth, when Biden and his people needed to step up and make the tough call to keep the vaccines flowing so that the American confidence in their value would continue to grow, he didn’t.
Working-Class People of Color Hate the Riots the Lefty Elite Keeps Cheering
it’s a lot easier to encourage violence when the consequences happen to someone else. Too much of upper-class America is cocooned from real risk. For the people in poor and working-class neighborhoods where riots and looting tend to happen, the consequences are much more apparent.
Biden’s First Big Speech to Congress Bombs
President Biden’s speech Wednesday night failed on all counts: It didn’t sell his latest spending plan, it didn’t sell his larger agenda — and, worst of all, it didn’t sell him…Start with the utterly bizarre “mask theater.” Why the universal masking, and the social distancing during his speech? The message, cutting across the president’s occasional optimism, was that this nightmare will never end — which simply isn’t true.
The CDC’s Reign of Error Has Done Incalculable Harm to America
Even less scientific than the 6-foot rule is the agency’s guidance for the fully vaccinated. The agency tells them to “continue to wear masks, maintain physical distance and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people.” That guidance eliminates a major incentive for getting the shots in the first place and will slow America’s recover…
Vile Response to the Derek Chauvin Verdict
The revolutionaries are not satisfied. They are emboldened. They see the verdict as proof that policing is racist and must be abolished. They will not stop until they achieve their aim. Every time a black person is shot by police, no matter the circumstances, they will riot and sue and demand more concessions with menaces.
Impeach and Remove Maxine Waters
The California Democrat is trying to create a civil war, and her irresponsible rhetoric is inciting violence. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should strip her of her committee assignments and move for a vote to remove Waters from office.
Getting Vaccinated Is How We Beat Fauci and Other Lockdown-Forever Loons
Take the vaccine, wait two weeks after the final dose, and then return to your 2019 life. Take off your mask as much as you can. Outdoor masking was always more about virtue-signaling. But your going mask-less now signals something else: You’ve gotten the jab, you trust in the science and you are moving on.
