It Looks Like Pritzker’s NH Fire Was DC Machine Astroturf

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is rumored to be building a ramp for a run at the Big Chair in 2028. I know. He’ll need a big ramp, but Billionaires don’t come to New Hampshire unless they have property here or they are chasing something.

First in the nation primary, anyone.

He was here, talking shit to some of the richest Dems in the state (see also, the choir). His advice made national news. It was very “not at all new.”

Get in their faces, don’t let them rest. Be your nasty selves.

Something, very much like this.

As liberals try to get their groove back, some party insiders say Democratic politicians have been encouraged to embrace a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump’s no-holds-barred version of politics.

It’s an attempt to step outside the bounds of the political correctness that Republicans have accused Democrats of establishing. And it requires being crass but discerning, rude but only to a point.

So, is it okay to vandalize Teslas, or is that too far? How about egging Republicans headed to the inauguration (2017). Following them into stores and restaurants and making a scene, so they kicked out (2016-today). Mobs with mock guillotines in rich people’s neighborhoods (2020). Demanding they shout your Marxist BS because silence is violence (also 2020), while also threatening them with violence and censoring their speech, you oppose (forever and always).

Is it like The View but without arson? With arson.

I guess my point is that telling Democrats to be assholes is like telling fish to swim.

Acting like you’re an edgey potential presidential candidate in New Hampshire for saying it when you’re just aping a party narrative, “so inside” the New York Times is writing about it – is lame.

JB Pritzker’s fire is just more DC machine astroturf. Evidence that he’s plugged into the same industrial complex that brought us Joe Biden, hid Joe Biden, and then gave us and couldn’t hide Kamala Harris. Pritzker is just a larger version of the woke, women-hating, gender bending Marxist starter kit, as any other Democrat socialist.

And it hardly matters. New Hampshire Dems will vote for whoever the party tells them to (unless it’s Bernie Sanders – the only time they ever think for themselves, and it’s a candidate who would make America worse than the typical anointed candidate picked by the DNC and the party elite).

Pritzker isn’t special, but he is a billionaire, so keep those Oligarch notes handy in case it comes up – and it will. That’s another DC machine narrative.
