Oprah: The High Priestess of American Cultural Malaise
We can see it in the failure of everything the Democrats touch — from Liz Warren’s destruction of Spirit Airlines to Karen Bass’s wholesale destruction of Los Angeles to Renée Good’s ill-fated rescue of an illegal alien criminal in Minneapolis. Everybody’s a victim, and everybody needs the gentle hand of a Big Sister government to help them through their pain. It isn’t even politics; it’s religion.A crank religion, to be sure, but one that has very fervent belief.Where did this come from?I’m going to argue something you might not have thought of.
