    | The archetype of petty conservatism is Erick Erickson. He was
    | considered the hardest of the far right in the pre-Trump era. He was
    | hated by liberals for calling Michelle Obama a "Marxist harpy" and
    | former Supreme Court Justice David Souter "a goat fucking child
    | molester," among other things. None of these insults made any real
    | point. They were just insults done for shock value and to entertain
    | his audience. When Trump came along and said controversial things
    | with an actual point, Erickson recoiled. He didn't like a
    | presidential candidate bringing up uncomfortable questions about
    | race, mass immigration, white alienation, civilizational decline,
    | and foreign interventionism. These controversial subjects were
    | beyond the pale for many of the fire breathing conservatives of the
    | Obama era. They just wanted a candidate to call Michelle Obama a
    | Bolshevik for her school lunch plan.

    Does Donald Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay
    the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and
    Kamala Harris?

    "It didn't catch them off guard. WaPo reported last week that the
    Biden administration was repeatedly warned by career officials, not
    political appointees, that the situation would become dire if they
    reversed Trump's policies. Biden is doing this intentionally to
    import voters" - Ryan Saavedra <URL:https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1373979720300208130>
