I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

I did this for a while until I realized being the most left-leaning liberal is far more peaceful than being the most center-leaning leftist
I have a hypothesis: There are a LOT of liberals who have been... polarized isn't the word? brain-melted by the use of "liberal" as a pejorative. They call themselves leftists now and make a bunch of leftist noises, but they're just liberals.

Why is it that elites are held to a standard of perfection at all times, and populists are held to no standard at all?

Because it is populists that have the numbers and are doing the voting.
Experts today, Muslims tomorrow, immigrants always, secularists at another time.
Americans just want a scapegoat because the answer is that it’s our own fault

Partially agree. Agree Dems have zero idea how to compete in the current communications environment and Republicans drive the conversations around America’s concerns. However, I think Americans have real policy concerns (immigration, inflation, crime) and they think Dems are bad at addressing them.
Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.
But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

The immigrant piece of this is really important.
Taking the ecological regression literally, voters born outside the US swung 23% pp against dems in 24 (compared to -0.9% for native born), 14% more than you'd expect from race and education, making up more than half of the net votes lost since 2020.
