She’s intelligent and verbal, seems deeply—and unusually—attached to America’s Founders, the founding, and the founding documents; does not come across in the least as radical or resentful, and is certainly not in the mold of the New Democrats:
She is Amanda Gorman, national youth poet laureate, who recited her rather pleasant poetry at the Biden inaugural.
Here she is elsewhere:

Did anything memorable happen in the garrison City-State of Washington, D.C., today? Has “unity” happened? Fill me in, folks.
As the great philosopher Homer (Simpson) might have said, when he wanted to show as keen an interest as mine, “Can’t watch, eating.”

The debate: “Is Trumpism toxic? Has the right gone wrong? Or was Trump its last chance? A debate between two Spectator writers“:
The loser, Matt Labash, a Never Trumpkin, launches with a lament, and is careful to flaunt his weird, regular-stiff credentials. Sir, you protest too much.
… Not to beat a dead horse, but in early January the President of the United States led an insurrection against his own government — with his droogs storming the Capitol, seeking to hang his vice president — which saw five people killed. …
… Driving a 16-year-old Honda. Getting paid in beef jerky by the editors of this magazine for our little exchange (did you get teriyaki-flavor, by the way?). Shopping at Walmart because there are few places elites like me can push a cart in our pajama bottoms with our ass tattoos hanging out without raising eyebrows.
Chris Buskirk for MAGA: “I sense [Trump] is not your cup of covfefe. …”
Read the debate between winner (Chris Buskirk) and whiner (Matt Labash), in which MAGA, in its righteousness, still blatters the insider establishmentarian.

A Cuck is Born: Nancy Mace, Republican representative from South Carolina, is CNN’s favorite young GOPer, bad mouthing MAGA folks (to Don Lemon, of all people) at every turn, making hay over … well, it’s not the pillaging and killings courtesy of Black Lives Matter.
There’s nothing worse than a liberal southerner (with coarse skin).
And today, miss congeniality was on Fox News with the forgiving host Martha MacCallum, where she attempted to redeem herself as a “constitutional conservative.”
“I have spoken out strongly against the president and my own colleagues … we have a Constitution as our guide. The vote to certify the Electoral College is in our Constitution,” she said of the political battle that precipitated the riot. “That was a ceremonial vote to certify all 50 states that were legally certified.”
My case against Mace and her ilk: You don’t see the Left rush forward to be SEEN condemning the looters and killers of the Black Lives Matter movement. Yet you always find the most reprehensible among Republicans—goody two-shoes, teacher’s-pet types—who rush forward to denounce a rag-tag of renegades who already have no chance in hell of receiving due process of law.
Besides, a middle-class woman who can’t shut-up about being a a single mother has adopted the language of the Left for the purpose of self-aggrandizement. Mace’s bio mentions that “she is the mom of two children aged 11 and 13.”
So, give it up, please for the man who made the Mace kids. He is her ex-husband, Curtis Jackson, whom Nancy Mace divorced in 2019.
A single mother is a term the Left adopted to glorify “families” which were fatherless from the inception. Mace is a divorced woman (or womin).
