Trump's Insight

 Mark Wauck found a compelling insight we'll share.  Marini is a professor known for his critique of the Administrative State (the one we live in).  The transcript can be found here.

John Marini: I think the thing that Trump saw, and perhaps he saw it better than most because he didn’t come out of the environment of government, was that when he ran for office, the goal was political. He wanted to actually mobilize the majority to go to the electorate and tell him what they wanted to do. If they wanted him to do it he would actually do it. That has been very rare in American politics in the last 40 or 50 years. So he actually begins from the perspective of a citizen rather than from the perspective of somebody who has established a kind of profession of government. Instead of thinking about government as a profession.

Trump is a threat to Washington because he takes politics seriously in a way in which many of those previously elected have not. They think that you could simply mobilize groups and keep groups divided, and you don’t have to look out for the interest of the whole, for the common good of the citizens. Trump is the first to look out for the common good.

In the rest of the blog-entry, Wauck highlights the destruction of the US' system wrought by Wilson and Roosevelt.  It may not be a shock, but those two Ultra-Progressives simply shit-canned the concept of 'natural law' as a foundation of governance.

It's entirely possible that it's too damn late to repair.  Don't tell your grandchildren; they may never speak to you again.
