Gabbard is supposed to be everything the Democrats want.  A strong, 'progressive' female of 'color' who backed Bernie Sanders' runs for the nomination, implying she's a useful Commie.  She was groomed early on as a WEF Future Leader and put on important House Committees which landed her default invitations to CFR meetings, while also being a member of the Democratic National Committee.

It was clear she was being schmoozed by the DNC and Davos to become a major player from the moment she was first elected to Congress in 2012.

But something happened on the way to Gabbard's ascension to the top of the U.S. political scene, her conscience got the better of her.  I've followed Gabbard for years and watched her carefully, knowing full well about her past associations with Davos.

Now, for the New Statesman to run a schlocky piece about her as a GOP Dark Horse last week at a pivotal moment in the shifts in Congress against the Democrats' domestic policy is telling of just how scared the Democrats and Davos are of the 2024 vote getting split along populist lines.

She's fostered a cult of personality among her supporters, who either refuse to acknowledge that Gabbard holds right-wing positions or, more often, go on to adopt those positions themselves. Lately, Gabbard's pivot to cancel-culture pundit, complete with undertones of worries about anti-white "racism", has inspired her followers to take on the same pet issues. They've gone from iconoclastic left-leaning upstarts to "American patriots" without a blink.
