Winners, Losers and Links
Winners
Biden’s Handlers - State of the Union was meh but the low info types can think Biden’s team is centrist.
Woke Advocates - Someone at Compact wrote that Woke is winding down. If people on the nominal right are this deluded, the woke have even dumber opponents than they imagined.
Skilled Labor - Interview subjects and employers are responding that they are reluctant to lay off skilled workers because the extreme difficulty they have had finding new employees the last 2 years.
Losers
The Right - Biden is a weak puppet but also difficult to generate hate votes against. SOTU response from Sanders was okay; not inspiring but blame speechwriters.
Heirloom Americans - The illegal immigrant numbers look awful. It is a firehose of future Democrats.
Car owners - This green push ends with no private cars (at least for plebeians).
