A wonderful long essay - just an excerpt from Richard Fernandez writing at PJ Media:
The reason "populism" has been such a catastrophe for the Left is it leaves them with no comparative advantages. They're not hard enough to return to the sword and they've run out of Other People's Money. Perhaps that once great historical project will be memorialized by what the New Republic called David Brock's "creepy letter" to Bernie Sanders craving forgiveness in exchange for a job. "Today, Brock published a letter to Bernie Sanders, imploring for a unified front against Trump. He states, 'I will do all I can to fight the Trump Administration, but I need help from those in the position to resist through our democratic institutions.'"
It's come to that. Give me a job and I'll say anything. In this hope of employment Brock joins thousands of progressives who find there's "a vastly smaller job market for their skills" in 2017.
The job market is about to get even more crowded for Washington Democrats, as thousands of Obama appointees join the hundreds of Clinton campaign staffers looking for employment.
There’s rarely been less demand for their services.
For the Left the future is not turning out the way they hoped. They have failed to transition to 'a high-skill, low-carbon knowledge economy'. The millennials would understand.
The progressives killed themselves - the dinosaur is dead. Its tail is still twitching but the body is corrupt and rotting from the inside out. A wonderful thing too - after 100 years of marxism, communism, socialism. After 100's of millions of people killed for these ideas, to see the ideas finally run to ground and shown for what they are - abject failure.
