Freedom is not a lodestar for very many politicians, but it should be. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:
Why the disinformation war will start a real one. If the only thing that separates one charge of authoritarianism, tyranny and oppression from another is a political party, you have a nation on the verge of civil war. When political lines are so clearly defined, threats so clearly made, there can be only one outcome. Everything the left charges Trump with doing has been done by Biden in total silence, at least from the left. So, it isn’t so much that those actions by a president are bad. What makes it good, or bad, is whether a Democrat or Republican did it.
There’s a few things I don’t support Trump in doing, but I’m adult enough to know that one doesn’t get very much out of a political candidate. Closing the border was enough for me. I’d like it if he were to actually deport as many as he can, but I recognize he’s being fought by the courts and the federal bureaucrats that still occupy certain offices in the government, some of them have been protected from being fired by the same corrupt judges blocking most of Trump’s policies.
I think Trump’s focus is on a legacy this time around and less on the problems he promised to solve. Any promise from any politician comes with an expiration date and that can be defined as plus two minutes. Some continue to promise the same things after 40 years in office, things they just couldn’t push across the finish line. It’s all nonsense, take what you can get from any of them, but have a plan to solve your own problems.
The replacements don’t care about “quaint” notions of freedom and independence?
American status isn’t from the Magic Soil?
Babel and Nimrod worship are nothing new.
