Some thoughts from what seems to be a rare bird these days: An actual news organization.
I have to say that teaming up to prove that the media isn't colluding against Trump is the most hilarious example of their lack of self awareness to date.
And you want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump. His genius is to get them to reveal themselves. https://t.co/1P6jAYg1ux
I sure hope so. We are in weird political times, but it will take a smart campaign. Given that stupid jungle-primary rule, Republicans have to be happy they even have a candidate in the race. They don’t in the Senate.
Is it the future of the Democrats?
I hope so, because if so, it means, finally, the death of this old horrific, racist, and now totalitarian political party.
On a related note, it occurs to me that one could probably find things that Hitler said about the Jews that are analogous to things that the current leftist fascists say about whites (and Jews).
A big theme of MacLean’s book is that Buchanan inspired an effort to promote an anti-democratic putsch by the Koch Brothers. As Ilya Somin has explained, her conception of democracy doesn’t make any sense, at least if one assumes that she supports standard limits on democracy widely supported by progressives. But other historians have come to the rescue, arguing that the United States is a democracy when it follows the will of the people, as opposed to the will of organized reactionary interest groups. The U.S., for example, was democratic in the 1930s and 1960s, but not in the 1950s or 1980s. Democracy, in other words, means “progressive politics are winning out.” Lack of democracy means “progressive politics are not winning out.” Because in a true democracy, the will of the people wins, and the will of the people is naturally liberal-democratic-socialist. So Roe v. Wade is a “democratic” decision, even though it overturned the abortion laws of almost every state, because progressives approve of it. I kid you not.
The leftist narrative must triumph over truth or logic.
