Related: About this forumPlouffe on Georgia: Epic political malpractice by Trump & confederacy of dunces cost senate loss.
David Plouffe did not mince his words as he pointed out that Trump and his enablers likely sped up a Blue Georgia by a few election cycles.
With the events that occurred right after Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock's epic wins in Georgia, this story was temporarily placed on ice. But it is an important one.

A Confederacy of Dunces
A Confederacy of Dunces is a picaresque novel by American novelist John Kennedy Toole which reached publication in 1980, eleven years after Toole's suicide.[2] Published through the efforts of writer Walker Percy (who also contributed a foreword) and Toole's mother, Thelma, the book became first a cult classic, then a mainstream success; it earned Toole a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981, and is now considered a canonical work of modern literature of the Southern United States.[3]
