Karens

I am intrigued by this brand new stereotypical enemy of the left, Karens. One month there's all these new heroines, the suburban woman centrist voters who helped give us a Democratic House of Representatives and are going to save us from Trump.

Who else? Just ran across--this woman looks like another unfortunate Karen, worthless even as a token?
