I can't fathom why voters might possibly be angry? Our rulers and oligarchs are truly the most disinterested and enlightened folks that that ever are, ever were, or ever shall be.

A search of the article finds "right-wing" but not " left-wing". Such a bird wouldn't fly.

With the Left losing its non-PMC voters around the western world, this is a breakup where the person doing the dumping is actually being pretty clear: “it’s not me, it’s you.”

It’s also interesting that the PMC have some of their last supporters in the youngest and oldest ranges that aren’t working. Does that say more about the PMC or the students/retirees?
