Perhaps it is a lot to ask, but Democrats could learn a great deal from the recent Danish elections. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), and the rest, have spent decades imploring anyone befitted with an ear canal to take heed and learn something from the Scandinavian countries that so besotted them. In what certainly
What better way to demonstrate one’s tolerance and open-mindedness than daubing a placard with a twee proclamation, then dousing a “fascist” with a milkshake for sharing a different opinion? To attack verbally and physically, those who dare to deviate from the herd is to be a progressive. Even better: to mark one as
You would be forgiven for thinking that handily winning the vote share over your rivals meant you had won an election. But in the Current Year, such logic is a bunk currency—the winning ticket of the Zimbabwe National Lottery. As predicted, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party pillaged last weekend’s European Parliament elections. Just six
To prove one’s progressive credentials, one could do worse than to purchase a milkshake from an ostensibly detested fast-food corporation, douse a politician deemed a threat to the cause, and applaud oneself via the gleeful approval of Burger King.

When keen to persuade others of your moral sanctity, gluing oneself to a train possesses a deeper gravitas than signing a petition. And telling people you’ve signed that petition.Climate-change protesters (or cloud-yellers) have this week collapsed London, folding the capital into a grand theater of their own self-adulation. The audience is captive, quite literally.Fear
Have you heard the awful news? I pray (and hope) you have not. I am referring, of course, to the plight of the Hawaiian yellow-faced bee. Such bees are dwindling. Endangered. Droning toward extinction. Soon, these winged creatures could expunge from the earth. It will be your fault, by the way, if the
Call me crazy, but I am beginning to suspect that thrusting a diehard Remainer into the job of pulling Great Britain out of the European Union was, on second thought, a bad move. Excuse me for being glacially slow to arrive at this moment of clarity. The revolution, though each pathetic flutter has
