Who ARE these guys....?

You know, the ones who like to identify as "Democrats" or "Centrists" (anything but Republicans) but seem unable to control their impulses to express misogynistic, dudebro, neocon, stupidities, who call themselves 'independent thinkers(!)' and bullshit like that?

You know the guys I mean. They kinda sorta lean Libertarian but not really, 'cuz they know the Libertarian universe is essentially loserville.

The James Carvilles.

The Bill Mahers.

Fence-straddlers. They're smart enough to definitely NOT want to be part of the Loserworld [Redacted] has made of the GOP, and they can read tea leaves well enough to know that eventually most of the Broligarchs are heading for a date with several unfriendly Federal agencies with questions about taxes, hidden assets, monopolies and other sticky topics.

But deep down inside, they still think the Broligarch vibe is desperately cool and Alpha.

So... essentially insecure, but noisy.

They know the passwords and secret handshakes, and, of course, they have Y chromosomes.

Up until now, it's been enough.

Enough to get them the attention they crave, the veneer of credibility that keeps them in the punditry. Enough to supply them with barely sufficient naysaying gravitas to be on various bookers' rolodexes as "counterpoint" sources.

They get that little-boy-being-naughty shiteating grin when they parade their borderline misogyny (they rarely cross the line too far...) and contrarian bullshit for the cameras, inviting other would-be dudebros to yuk with them in the clubhouse.

Yanno what?

They have seen the writing on the wall.

Mene, mene, tekel upharsin, dudes.

Of course they're going to do their best to submarine the current wave of Democratic unity behind Kamala.

Hold course, and they will soon be relegated to the cultural dustbin with all the other irrelevant mastodons.

cynically,
Bright
