Last night, someone named Crumpy or Crumbly or something won the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin.1 More importantly, though: DSA-backed candidate Francesca Hong did not win. Which means that the “too crazy horizon” — long postulated by physicists but never actually observed — is now known to exist.

Francesca Hong will probably be remembered as “the Thanksgiving lady” due to her Woke War I-era call to cancel the all-American holiday built on family and togetherness. Hong’s public statements, generally, were an overflowing cornucopia of goofy opinions — she inveighed against other holidays, philosophized about the dangers of “proximity to whiteness”, and said that we should abolish the police and replace them with efforts including “youth arts and workforce development programming”. Hong also — stick with me here — has the affect of a lady selling homemade jewelry at a farmers market, and you wander by to be polite, and she tries to hard-sell you in a way that’s kind of inappropriate, so you shoot a look to the guy at the custom-made wallet table and he gives you a look that says “Dude, I’m next to her all day.” Does that make sense? Watch Francesca Hong for a while and it might.
