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.”

Maybe, as they say, “Hell has a special place reserved in it” for people like Thom Tillis, Republican Senator from North Carolina, who enabled Trump to rape and destroy the United States.

That was until it became clear to Tillis that he could jump ship, write a scathing book about the president, get all over mainstream news promoting it, and go on to enjoy another chapter of political success.

That we Americans are so stupid that we accept this blatant hypocrisy and criminality is sad proof that we’re not the people we were 20 years ago. Maybe what many people are saying are correct: we deserved what we got.

Here’s a short video from Elle Cordova that reminds us that science is something of a rarity in human history.

The great tyrants of history have done their best to cause the people they ruled to reject science, simply to ensure the masses are ignorant, terrified, superstitious, and thus easily controlled.

The current political administration is particularly engrossed in the rejection of science. I wonder why.
