When John Fetterman became the voice of reason among the American Left

You wouldn't have thunk it, would you.  In the first months of his first term in office, Trump's critics were able to get my never-Trumper son to admit that the only thing that makes Trump look good is his critics.  Nothing has changed, despite the shellacking the Left got in November.  It's still pretty much scream Trump Nazi Holocaust with F-bombs and then refuse to do anything else.  

I did arrive at one conclusion after the election.  If you're going to so flagrantly ignore or downplay or mock the suffering of tens of millions just because your guy is the one in the White House, make sure they're not tens of millions of registered voters.  

Nonetheless, though the Obama years marked that  moment when the post-Western Left came out of the closet and made its desires for a post-Western world openly known, it's been rough sailing for them since.  Part of it is, I think, something I noticed some years ago.  Since the Left holds the orb, the scepter and the crown (entertainment, media, education), it's easy to miss its mistakes since none of the institutions that should be speaking truth to power are going to do so when the power is theirs.  So you can make fools of yourselves, fail miserably, and more or less do terrible things and feel it's OK since the traditional outlets charged with calling you out won't do so.  

But that only goes so far.  As we saw in 2016.  As we saw last year.  As sane people are learning, among that number being Senator Fetterman.  As for the rest of the Left?  It's not looking promising.
