M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about some of 2024’s worst political developments.
Let’s face it, there was more than enough stupid to go around this year.
If 2024 taught us anything, it’s that there is no bottom in matters of the politically absurd. …
… After President Joe Biden malfunctioned at the late June debate, top Democrats orchestrated the soft coup that got rid one of the left’s leading obstacle to keeping the White House. Biden, we were told, was graciously stepping aside and “passing the torch” to defend democracy, or some such nonsense. The Democratic Party and the useful idiots in the accomplice media told us how selfless and noble the dementarian was for putting “patriotism above party,” as if they hadn’t just pushed the old man off the reelection train.
California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, whose fingerprints were all over the political hit job, stomped in stiletto heels on Biden’s political corpse as she insisted she had nothing to do with his ouster.

Kamala Harris, Biden’s immensely unpopular vice president, was the ultimate DEI pick in an administration that has bludgeoned to death the concept meritocracy — or basic competence, for that matter. But the bungling “border czar” was brazenly sold to the American voter as the “change candidate” in an election in which she was the incumbent. Harris, the Pravda Press declared, was a “joy” and good “vibes.” This fresh-faced 59-year-old was having a “brat summer” as the left’s new-and-improved candidate.
