Torpedoes left wingers put in the water to destroy conservatives circle back around to kill them.
Chelsea Manning is running in the Democratic Primary for Maryland against a long time stalwart establishment Democrat, Benjamin Cardin, a white cis-gendered 74 year old 3 term senator.
White, cis gendered liberals never thought that the sort of identity politics that they have been so tolerant and non-judgmental about would be used against them. But here Cardin is being put at a disadvantage for being wrong for the new left in so many ways, gender, race, etc. And he's not nearly radical enough. And the Maryland Democratic establishment finds itself "mocking and denouncing Manning’s bid to become the first ever trans woman in the Senate, instead quickly lining up in support behind the straight white male who has wielded power for decades. To demean Manning, many of these establishment Democrats invoked the primary tactic they now reflexively use against anyone they view as a political adversary: they depicted her as a tool of the Kremlin, whose candidacy is really just a disguised plot engineered by Moscow."
Good grief! The Russians again!
