From the candidate herself:

I’m Caroline Gleich: a ski mountaineer, activist, and a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Utah. I’ve summited Everest, and my next climb is running for office.

Despite warnings that it could harm my career, I embarked on a mission to give back to the people and places that shaped my life.

From climbing mountains to advocacy, I’ve expanded my passion for sports into a platform for change.

Together, we can bring an ethic of care, compassion, and a desire to improve the lives of Americans. But I can’t do this alone: will you contribute $15 or more today?

Anytime a Democrat can win in a deep red state like Utah, I’m certainly onboard (though I don’t normally contribute).

My main concern here is that Trump beat Biden by more than 20 points in the state in 2020. As shown in the graphic below, most of Utah is actively repugnant to Gleich’s “ethic of care, compassion, and a desire to improve the lives of Americans.”

Most of these people, if they read her message at all, will translate it as “I’m a woke, radical leftist, who, if elected, will flood our country with vermin from the south, weaponize the justice system to criminally prosecute the greatest president the U.S. has ever had, and replace traditional American values with godlessness, access to abortion, softness on crime, and pornography in our schools.”

Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.

But what is that number, roughly?

After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.

A reader asks: Can I get the scare tactic for next cycle? I want to get a head start on the memes.

Ha! Exactly.

Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.

This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.

What’s next?
