It finally happened: The left has lost Dwight Schrute. 

That’s right: Rainn Wilson, an actor famous for his role on “The Office” as a hopelessly inept mini-Machiavelli, flat out lectured MSNBC hack Stephanie Ruhle on his podcast, noting that, during the Biden years, “left-leaning news media organizations” were “kind of like, ‘La la la la, everything’s fine. Look, the economy is great, la la la, immigration’s not that much of a problem.’”

He griped, quite correctly, that he sees “this kind of insight and passion being directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration.”

Wilson’s of course 100% right, and doubly so as he was pushing back against Ruhle’s claims that it’s somehow Elon Musk’s fault that Trump won, along with “misinformation” on X. 

But what makes his words really special is the status he enjoys as someone who wormed his way into the hearts of the core demographic of “The Office” — i.e., liberal millennials, mouths itching to yell “Teacher!” and with “IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE . . . ” lawn signs as far the eye can see.  

It’s a real Et tu, Brute? moment for the progressivism on which the Biden era rested. 

Or at least it should be. 

Alas, given the current spectacle of national Dems making Michael Scott-like trips to El Salvador in what appears to be a sad Chili’s analogue and getting cozy on camera with a deported illegal immigrant and likely gangbanger . . . well, let’s just say an outbreak of self-awareness doesn’t seem likely to explode. 

And that’s great news for Donald Trump — exactly the guy Chris Van Hollen & Co. are trying and failing to own. 

Especially as Trump’s effort to revitalize the Dunder Mifflins of the real world with tariffs has shocked the markets and sent his net faves on the economy into the subbasement, a real opportunity for them to strike. 

Dems should listen to Wilson; somehow he’s making more sense than just about anyone else on their team. 

Or they could just follow Dwight’s maxim: “Before I do anything I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.”
