Confederacy of dunces

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Abortion. The one issue that has the power to rip Republicans apart. And it looks like that is precisely what is happening. And that brings me to one of the reasons WHY we can win — WHY we are in such good shape — as long as we do the work.

We are in such shape because the party we are running against is a confederacy of dunces. One and Dunce. The GOP can’t fight back on this issue because they have no defense and that can’t tell the truth. And the truth is this:

The Republican party doesn’t like women. They don’t have any respect for them. They sneer at them. They are SO VERY out of touch — such a confederacy of COMPLETE dunces that they did not even have a response handy for when the inevitable fury of women arose after the overturning of Roe.

They stood there like the dunces they are, tongues hanging, faces masks of puzzlement. “What?” many must have been thinking like paralyzed little flies as the storm bore down on them. “What?!” They froze. They could not find one cognizant and reasonable defense.

So they ran. Carefully scrubbing off any mention of the word “abortion,” Arizona Senatorial candidate Blake Masters attempted to indulge in the art of pretending. New Mexico Republican Governor candidate Mark Ronchetti says we need a “middle ground.” What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

It is nothing but the talk of dunces. Let us not forget little Marco, who appears to change his mind like the wind.

And when Lindsey Graham cheerfully suggested what all these dunces secretly CRAVE — A national abortion ban — he was repudiated BY HIS OWN PARTY. Moscow Mitch is falling apart, trying to keep his own party together. They’re all terrified, all guilty, and all are dunces.

And surely we can beat a confederacy of dunces. Because we’re NOT dunces. We’re smart activists who are intelligent enough to see a VERY wide opening. So let’s pounce. The GOP is so out of touch, so out of the mainstream. We need to shame them, let the voters know about their dunce-like activity, and vote them the hell OUT!
