Rant I couldn't make myself refrain from:
No, I'd actually prefer you not explain this to me. I only sneer at senators with degrees from Stanford and Yale who are too delicate to live in the state they fucking supposedly represent going around butching themselves up as if they know anything about "working Americans". https://t.co/msazRGp5KR

Have I mentioned that Hawley doesn't live in Missouri? Though when Trump decided to move a host of USDA employees to Kansas City, in the effort to get them either to quit their vital regulatory function or completely uproot their lives and those of their spouses and children, Hawley was very high-sarcastic about how these pointy-headed researchers thought they were too good to live in Missouri, Hawley himself lives in a big house in Virginia; he maintains a voting address in Missouri, but it's his sister's house
And the reason Joe Biden got 80 million votes is that working Americans are starting to figure out who's responsible, and it's people who've never worked with their hands a day in their lives like you and your Dark Lord Mitch McConnell.

Working Americans would like a chance to form unions. Working Americans would like to know where their healthcare is going to come from, for them and their kids, or how they're going to retire, as the gig economy takes everybody's benefits way.

Working Americans don't give a fuck about "critical race theory" whatever the fuck that is, but a whole lot of working Americans are black and brown and wondering why your party is trying to stop them from voting. Would you like to explain that to me?

Thank you. I think "Marxist" is an excuse for not even trying to say what they mean, because they don't really have anything in mind, they just want their audience to feel scared. "But I'll protect you against this Marxist menace, just give me emergency powers!"

It's Bannonism. They've figured out abortion terror and race-baiting are coming to the end of their usefulness to the movement, and they're working out this "populism". Tell the workers (of one particular race) that you're going to rescue them from "corporatist" something...

He's a million miles more "coastal" and "elite" than Scott Walker, who couldn't manage to finish local college . He's patrician to the manner born, Stanford and Yale, clerked for fucking John Roberts and married another Roberts clerk. Wrote a book about fucking Teddy Roosevelt.

@nomoremister is pretty sure it's going to be Trump, or if his health doesn't permit, Donald Junior, or some real screaming freak. A candidate who's won an election is likely to be too sane to capture the base.

As Steve later pointed out, Hawley's tweet was in response to neverTrumper Tim Miller pointing out an illiterate Hawley contradiction:
Pre-Election: Biden will appoint Marxists and must be stopped.
— Tim Miller (@Timodc) November 30, 2020
Post-Election: Biden is appointing corporate liberals, I wish he'd break the mold. #Populisming @HawleyMO pic.twitter.com/Pvc4R4Nj0k
"Nah," says Hawley, "corporate liberal, Marxist, all the same because words don't have any meaning any more, suck it up."
