Worth More Than a Bump on the Head

It's oddly gratifying to come across an article from a traditional news source that shares a perspective with me on a subject. Especially if it's not currently a widespread assertion. I write mostly for the practice of writing. This format makes it somewhat easy when other formats are less conducive. So to have another writer advocating a position I take, it makes me feel almost legitimate or something. Almost. Check out this article from Mark Woford.

Democrats and the Fight Against the Middle Class

It has been somewhat difficult to place the opposition to Trump in a context where it all makes sense. The simplest explanation behind the difficulty is that there is no sense behind it. This is not to suggest that there is no sense in opposing Trump, although there is an argument to be made. There are no rational goals behind the opposition. His platform is more popular than he is. This opposition is not a response to what he is doing meant to generate support for Democrats. It is sound and fury, which may come to signify far more than is wished.  Instead of considering the opposition to DOGE, his sex recognition, DEI, and deportation Executive Orders as separate, it is better to see it all as a continuous spectrum. The most consistent element is that the opposition, lacking any principle, reacts to everything as if it is the one thing that will finally bring Trump down. In so doing, they select positions that are overwhelmingly unpopular. Being met with apathy seems to only ...

The Due Process Industrial Complex: "Are We the Constitutional Crisis?"

Democrats, seemingly resigned to political irrelevance, have shifted from principled opposition to obstructionism. They are seeking to stall or block the Trump administration's fulfillment of voter will.  In the face of popular demand for mass deportation of illegal aliens they have positioned themselves as self-appointed experts on due process. Their demands for due process might hold greater totemic power if not undermined by apparent hypocrisy, having supported limited due process for January 6 defendants. The demand for due process is desperate political opportunism driven by faulty political calculus. This explains why a US senator and congressional representatives traveled to El Salvador over a single deported alien. They are demanding that illegal aliens receive more vetting for deportation than they received on entering the country under Biden. In 2016, 38% of Americans supported deporting all undocumented immigrants. Today that number is 56% . There is nothing quite like i...
