The Voting Bloc Against Bossiness – WSJ

Tea partiers and red-hatted MAGA supporters pushed back against Obama-era bossiness. They didn t want high taxes to pay for open-border welfare, gun confiscation or being woke poked. Heck, they even supported a blundering bloviator for president. That s how desperate their Dontell dedication was. Note, there is a fine distinction between the Doncares (I don t care), the Leavmis (leave me alone), and the Dontells. The first two groups rarely vote. But Dontells vote in droves, on both sides of the aisle.

Amazingly, the whole Dontell thing still comes as a huge surprise to self-important city dwellers on both coasts. Yes, most big-city progressives like to be dominated and enjoy being told what to do. Walk/Don t Walk. Mind the gap. Wait in long lines. Alternate-side-of-the-street parking regulations. Calorie counts in doughnut shops. Confiscatory taxes. New York s (unconstitutional) ban on large sodas. San Francisco s ban on Happy Meals. The seemingly mandatory use of words such as positionality and performative in conversation.

Wait by the river long enough, and eventually somebody will come up with a snappy knickname for what you are.
