The discourse surrounding Kyle Rittenhouse’s public trial has made it evident that liberals and conservatives operate in alternate realities. Though it seems likely that the jury will find Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, prominent left-wingers like Lebron James and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries are convinced that he deserves to be locked away for life. If the left had their way, core American principles like “innocent until proven guilty” would waste away in the dustbin of history. Mob justice would prevail. Though Rittenhouse is no hero, he should walk away from this a free man.

Shields explains the factors that led to Youngkin’s win, from Democratic incompetence to the school board controversies, while Rodriguez discusses how Youngkin’s campaign could serve as a model for future conservative blue-state candidates.
