The ‘Good American’

Denis Prager is right. Democrats are exploiting the Capitol incursion as though it were the famous Reichstag fire, blaming it on their archenemy, Donald Trump, and using it to try to extinguish the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

“Though they do not risk being beaten up, are Americans in 2021 as afraid of the American left as Germans in 1933 were of the German fascists? We’re about to find out.”

Kim’s Idea

My wife, Kim, has an idea for President Trump: Assuming he isn’t pursuing other plans (martial law and such) he should offer to take over Rush Limbaugh’s radio show after leaving office.

The idea sounds brilliant to me. (It certainly proves, in case anyone needed it, that I’m not the smartest person in the world.)

Only In Your Imagination Was That An Attempted “Coup”

The writer makes the point better than I could. I would add that at present we don’t even know how the Capitol incursion happened, or who was involved. On that basis alone it is certifiably insane to call the incursion an attempted “coup” or even an act of insurrection. There really is no limit to how hard some people will work to scare themselves over such things as little old ladies staging a violent Revolution!

Why Trump Voters Don’t Trust the People Who Count the Votes

I wrote in another post today that the long-term consequences of yesterday’s Capitol incursion are hard to guess. But if I had to guess, I’d say the instant commentary captures some of the likely themes. It is simply not possible to have government of, by and for the people when large numbers of the people believe their government is not of, by and for them.
