whenever that crypto-nazi yale and stanford grad josh hawley cosplays as a populist on twitter the fang/tracey/stoller crowd gets a hard-on, but when he does conservative idpol 99% of the time they ignore it as they whine about shit like american flag lapels losing bernie the nom
unsurprising when you believe far right republicans, who are directly aligned with corporate interests as they larp as edgy anti-elitists, "will become the party of the working class". the alternative, that the working class despises both party elites, is unthinkable for them
btw, hawley is the frankenstein monster created by alt-centrist claire mccaskill, who lost an easily winnable race to him and is now a regular on msnbc spouting the dnc line as an "expert"
remember, this isn't idpol. it's just a pure expression of true american values
hawley is a dangerous fucker, much more so than trump. keep your eye on him
look at his timeline now. he's intentionally focusing his fake populist ire on harvard (remember he's a stanford and yale grad) bc he knows that's good conservative idpol. but it's misdirection: his koch bro corporate buddies are getting massive bailouts and no peep from him
depending on how material conditions develop in the coming period, either hawley will become a forgotten nobody, or he'll be the american hitler, completing what trump started but was too incompetent to finish
