Bret Stephens and the Wicked Lesbian
The Other Bret today highlights a somewhat insane lesbian who is secretly voting for Trump.
Highlights:
[italic] It’s worth understanding where she’s coming from.
Start with the economy. “I haven’t seen double digit [gains] in my 401(k) since the internet boom of the late ’90s,” she says. “It went up 19.6 percent” in the year before the pandemic. “Look at the stock market,” she says. (Up about 35 percent from four years ago.) “Look at gas prices.” (About the same as what they were when Trump took office, but well below the $3.31 per gallon at the midpoint of the Obama administration.)
“This is everyday stuff that affects me,” she says. “I don’t care about Afghanistan and the Middle East. I care about having a job. I care about having health care through my company. I was out of a job a few years ago. Obamacare priced me out [of private insurance]. It was like, $560 a month. Then Obama’s website blew up. He can’t get the website right?”
Then there’s the pandemic. “Is Trump trying to play it down?” she asks. “Yeah. But when this first started, the news media was saying that millions of people were going to die. And look at it: 200,000, compared to the population.”
What worries her more are the effects of the response to the pandemic in a liberal city like New York. “Crime is in my neighborhood now. There’s a homeless encampment near me that’s growing and growing. They have a living room and a shower curtain and that’s where they go to the bathroom. I have a guy who walks in front of the store every day. In a diaper! And there’s lawlessness coming into the store every day, with an attitude of ‘Who’s gonna stop me?’” Regarding Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, she adds, “I can’t put into words how inept this guy is.”
The Brett Kavanaugh nomination: “I didn’t believe Christine Blasey Ford for one second. Her lack of recollection; the fact that nobody could [contemporaneously] corroborate her account.”
Trump-Russia: “The Clintons’ fingerprints are all over this. I’m really glad we have Bill Barr as A.G. to look into it.”

Mental illness is rampant in the LGBTQ community, as it is elsewhere.

I’d bet a lot of money that Brett made most of this up, or highly exaggerated a lot of it. The quotes sound like his quotes.

Chris, I hope your cunt falls off.

I noted that there was no mention of a wife, children or family of any kind.

I thought this was a disgusting column. Probably invented. I think he, like other Repubs, hates Trump but secretly hopes he wins, because they'd love to see Roe v Wade overturned and other right wing issues enhanced. Megan McCain is another one. he ascribes his own feelings to "Chris."

She's right about Mayor de Blasio being inept.

She's probably a straight man identifying as an old lesbian. You. Can. Never. Tell. Now-a-days.

Great.
I can find you a ton of lezzies and straight people voting for Biden.

This is a lie, it was corroborated by her therapist and husband. So, dyke is dumb or paid liar....

No regular schmoo off the street talks this way. "Dyke" (she doesn't exist) is a paid liar....

Um, the GOP-led Senate Report verified the Trump-Russia links.
Are the Clintons controlling the GOP too? Ohh, such power

Poor lady. Her 401K is doing well, because Trump is borrowing $1 trillion a year to keep the economy afloat.
I hope she doesn't expect to retire soon because the stock market wont stay that way for long.

Per the article, Bret asks: If the Democratic Party and its allies can’t hold on to a voter like Chris, who else might they be losing?
Basically he's accusing the Dem Party of losing literally crazy people. She went from one extreme (voting for Sanders) to the other (voting for Trump). She believes crazy conspiracy theories. She doesn't think through most of her political stances at all.
Just nuts

She doesn't exist. No one talks like that. And even if she was glad about the economy and didn't care about the Middle East, the bit about being glad Barr was AG is too much.

Do columnists have to have their work vetted as reporters do? Meaning do they have to verify that Chris exists?

She was a Bernie supporter. She was never really a Dem supporter
