BASICALLY, YES:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: In Lighter News, Kamala Harris Continues to Implode. “Back in the beginning of July, I wrote that I hoped Kamala Harris would keep chasing parked cars. That was back when she was considering running for Gavin Newsom’s job and finding out that nobody in the California Democratic Party wanted to take her to the prom. It was marvelous political entertainment.

It looks like this might be an opportunity for Harris to remind her fellow Democrats why they disliked her so much in the 2020 presidential race.”

I wish the right would get over reflexive hatred of being online or of social media. Sure, dysfunctional people use it dysfunctionally, but the internet has given the right its chance to strike back, and each of us a chance to know we’re not alone and some of the online communities are what keep us sane and going. It’s a meeting place. Like everything else it’s all in how you use it.
