Long ago, I recall reading a passage that claimed, truly or not, that the first class people in France went into government, and the first class people in America went into business, thus explaining a lot about both nations.
But when something like this comes up, it’s hard to say the Republicans are leaning into the old aphorism a bit too hard:
Laura Loomer refuses to accept her primary loss and declares "I actually am the Congresswoman in Florida’s 11th District, and everyone knows it," vowing to harass Rep. Dan Webster and "drive him into the ground every step of the way until he collapses in disgrace." pic.twitter.com/HUtyRX18EY

No, winning a primary is not enough, Mz Loomer. Not even close.
It’s this sort of mentality that really threatens to wreck Democracy. Some of these sorts have lived all their lives busily demanding all they can get without regard to fairness, penalties, or anything else outside of their narcissism. Some have watched the former President’s immoral ways and concluded they can imitate him and make their way to success. And some are just entertaining themselves, never having run into a brick wall before.
And so we end up with this frantic nonsense. No, nobody knows you traveled back in time and beat Webster in 2020, as well as his Democratic opponent, Mz Loomer, and you’ve been working in Congress ever since. Probably because it’s Webster cashing the paychecks.
