I am old enough to remember when the Democratic Party and its leadership loved Tulsi Gabbard.

I remember when many seemingly common-sense, pragmatic Democratic voters lined up behind her during the 2020 Democratic primary because her voice was beginning to resonate with them as they searched for a younger and more populist standard-bearer. Remember, it was Gabbard who single-handedly dismantled Kamala Harris in a debate and knocked her out of the primary season before the first nominating contest.

She was a congresswoman and a Democrat, and also a tough, intelligent, highly experienced military officer with proven moral character who was connecting with the American people on multiple levels. What was not to like or admire if you were a Democratic leader looking toward the future?

But Gabbard suddenly decided that the Democratic Party no longer had the best interests of the American people and the working class at heart and was instead spot-welding itself to Big Tech, far-left multi-billionaires, and anarchists whose policies would dismantle the U.S. from within.

In October 2022, Gabbard
