| Glenn Harlan Reynolds: Democrats just might reelect Trump, and they'll have no one to blame but themselves. |

| h/t Instapundit [USAToday] If President Donald Trump is re-elected next November, he’ll owe a lot of his victory to the army of activists working tirelessly to put him over the top. No, I’m not talking about the red-hatted MAGA crowd, tireless as they are. I’m talking about the army of leftist activists whose nonstop craziness is moving moderates into the Trump column day by day. Anti-Trump conservative Rod Dreher shares a letter from a reader who notes the unpersoning of feminist Posie Parker (her crime: not believing that transwomen are women) and the recent attacks on the Salvation Army and writes: "I have never voted for a Republican for president, and I can’t stand Trump. But the 'Tolerant Left' is making me so angry with them that I am thinking of voting for him. Since I live in Massachusetts the Electoral College makes it irrelevant, but it would be a protest vote." ...All the Democrats had to do was not be crazy, and they couldn’t even do that. They started out after the last election demanding that Donald Trump not be "normalized" as president ‐ and then proceeded to act as abnormally as possible. Weirdly, this strategy seems to be backfiring. |

| #3 ^ Only on condition that Musk not use the same designer for his Rover-type Mars buggy that he used for the Tesla truck |

| #2 What if we could hire that Russian troll farm, the Internet Research Agency, to pin Trump's coming re-election on the Martians. Launching a full-scale retaliatory invasion of Mars would be a yuuuge stimulus to commercial space. Yes, Elon Musk would be in the news on a daily basis, but it would be a small price to pay. |

| #1 Of course they will have plenty of others to blame. The stupid, selfish, bigoted deplorables, the "ungovernability" of the country, the failure to "get their message out," Russian interference, aliens (ones from outer space, that is)... /sarc (because nuance and irony are challenging for some) |
