#1 On almost every issue, Democrats have repudiated their prior reverence for the Supreme Court.
Remember when San Fran Nan said a Supreme Court decision was like the word of God?

#2 The Word of the Lord, or of Gort,
Once Supreme, now supremacist, [snort]
All-knowing while Roe-ing,
Starts Democrats crowing,
"Woohoo, we're aborting the Court!"

#3 The present-day Left bears little resemblance to the old civil-libertarian, integrationist Democratic Party that existed from the 1960s through 2000.

Hanson give Bill Clinton too much credit. Actually, he gives Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter too much credit as well.

#4 Democrats have transmogrified into a Soviet-style socialist binary of rich and poor, run by an elite nomenklatura that dictates its orders to its foot soldiers of the underclass.

I suspect it's more like the old Soviet Politburo than a nomenklatura...more like a small committee that uses Zoom or something like it for their meetings. In the old Soviet Union, the guy who controlled the Politburo was the guy with all the power...guys like Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev. In the current American Politburo, Baraq might be a member, he is certainly the front man, but I'd be surprised if he's the chairman. We can only guess about who that person might be.

#5 Head of Sales would be my guess, twitting about oppression while hanging with Tom Hanks on a luxury yacht in the Aegean.
