It has been clear for about three years now, that I have more faith in America, than Hinderaker does.

My faith is rooted in the fragile, but enduring, improbability that is… America’s dream: “from many… one.”

John has been preaching about (and impliedly hoping for?) a new civil war, ever since it became clear Tangerine was going to lose the White House in the summer of 2020.

Those two are correlated for him. Not for me. Our democracy is at its best when all of us of good will engage, to peaceably petition our leaders — for change.

The graphic above reminds us what happens to principled dissent at Powerline: how very “Putin” of you boys. Mirengoff was voted off the island for offending the snowflake Hayward. In any event….

Here it comes, John. Watch the mid-terms… 70 per cent of all Americans, and over 60 per cent of all GOP women, vehemently disagree with the Thomas / Alito Dobbs decision.

You old privileged whyte guys… have egregiously miscalculated. Again.

Me? I will remain optimistic, on all fronts….

Despite the real peril our fragile experiment in ordered liberty faces in this tumultuous moment, with the highest court increasingly looking like an overtly -Xian religious governing body…

I believe our republic will remain resilient enough to weather this storm. Most of all, because I and many others smarter than I am, will now throw in, shoulder to shoulder — to peaceably change the things we see… as broken — or “unfinished” to borrow young Amanda Gorman’s memorable prose, from the last Inaugural morning, on January 21, 2021. Out.
