America as failed/-ing state: Cheap political gotchas by alleged leftists

First, the America as failed/-ing state is, I think, going to become a semi-regular, occasional, series of blogging.

Second, as is my wont, it will look beyond twosiderism to some degree. It will this time for sure.

The part of the header after the colon was inspired by two items on Twitter Feb. 13, both of which were actual/alleged leftists doing gotchas on BlueAnon/BlueMAGA Democrats.

The first, was from one of my email alerts. Randy Credico prasing by quote-tweet Marjorie Taylor Greene's attack on the "Super Bowl Sunday warhawk bill."

Reality, Randy? MTG (Trevor Lawrence in drag and yes I went there and take a look at her and agree) voted for all of Trump's tax cuts that created a huge amount of that $34 trillion in debt she professes to hate. Reality No. 2? She only hates the Russia-Ukraine proxy war because it's Biden's war. If Trump gets re-elected and wants more bombs and drones for Ukraine, she'll be down with it. Reality No. 3? She's pushing the Israel button no matter what.

The second was lefties laughing (and Blue MAGA was trending on Twitter because of this) at Blue MAGA getting butt-hurt because Jon Stewart was bagging on Biden. Reality? First, it's low-hanging fruit. Second, Blue MAGA can be craptacular while Stewart is just about as craptacular himself. He's yesterday's news, and frankly, compared to old backup man Stephen Colbert, never had as much zing on his fastball at his peak, and certainly doesn't now. Anybody who's watched him over the past 2-3 years before he decided to relaunch his show knows that in today's political world, he should be called "No Labels Jon Stewart."

I repeated the "No Labels" observation to this guy and one other commenter to him. I said I thought it was just a case of a rich man with big ego refusing to accept he's behind his sell-by date.

This type of stuff, as much as the "I'm rubber, you're glue" between Blue MAGA and MAGAts, is what makes many Europeans shake their heads.
