The right wing political class has always been just as cringe as the center-right wing political class. It's just that for the past 10 years or so Trump has been able to focus the cringe into something more powerful than cringe.

Soon the DNC will be nothing more than Biden and his staffers who manipulate him like a large marionette. They will be president but an impotent president because the parliamentarian will be in the way.

He kept calling them up at 4:56pm, saying "Beanis" and giggling before hanging up

This is a good take about any large project. If you get too into the weeds too early it just leads to stagnation. Everything is possible so anyone can have an opinion and things go nowhere. Once you have a vision and you have a mandate then you have something you have to work backwards from and the eggheads and lawyers can come in and their work will bear fruit. Before that it's a futile, masturbatory exercise.

online misanthropes whose politics is "firebomb a Walmart" and then not firebombing a Walmart

They got Target tho.

What kind of criticism is this? Any time there are protests (Gaza protests?) liberals are falling over themselves to tut tut the protestors for inconveniencing people or whatever. Now that the gaza protests have ~~subsided~~ been put down they can go back to criticizing the movement as if they were supportive rather than hyperventillating over the inconvenience.

I think it's actually impossible for anything vaguely resembling meritocracy to exist without socialism. So many of the factors that come into play when people talk about "meritocracy" come down to your circumstances in childhood into early adulthood. People who talk about meritocracy are lying to you and they're lying to themselves.
