And this is why I now support Trump, and have since early in his presidency: he’s used tariffs strategically and, with enemy states, as an economic weapon; he’s managed to bring back US jobs from overseas; and he really HAS unmasked both the media and the Deep State.
Ironically, his biggest mistake was “listening to the science”: medical bureaucrats took advantage, in my opinion, of Trump’s known germophobia; but even there, Trump recovered quickly and has urged states to open safely; he closed off travel; used federal authority to build...
...back US supply chains. He put hydrochloroquine on the public radar and forced bureaucratic “scientists” and leftist media to actively oppose it — despite numerous front line doctors and peer reviewed studies have shown success, when used early or as a prophylactic.
He fast-tracked a vaccine and treatments. And he’s done all this while highlighting the differences between red states and blue states — from crime to federalism — where leftist governors and mayors have shown off both authoritarian tendencies against law-abiding citizens ...
...while simultaneously giving freedom and succor to “protesters,” including refusals to prosecute rioters, arsonists, and looters.

The David French’s of the world want you to focus on Trump’s tone — which is so de classe, in their minds, that it merits a total Marxist overhaul of a federal republic.

That repulses me. Trump needs to beat up on China; beat up on Iran; reiterate that liberty and freedom are paramount, and — circling back — that leftist identity politics are toxic, and that now, racialism has become THE coin of the Marxist / progressive realm, even as it acts...
...as a Trojan Horse for class warfare, with the object being to ruin the bourgeois small business owner and middle class, destabilizing urban centers.
This is by design. The left has simply used the virus and a few media-aided police outrages as proximate launching points...

This is the updated version of Cloward-Piven; it’s protectorate are an activist progressive media; and its enforcement arm are leftist AGs and the modern-day Red Faction, Weather Underground, SDS, Black Panther separatists, etc.

Identity politics and critical race theory are the philosophical pretexts. Power and top-down federal control of the populace are the goals.
You must reject this. And that rejection is embodied — in nearly every way — by Trump.
Vote accordingly. And to bring this all the way

...back around, revisit how this all works by revisiting this column, with the caveat that, again, Trump — whom I criticized based in part on a vocal part of his putative “base” — greatly exceeded my expectations.
It should be no shock to students of both language, history...

That was always baked into their ideological cakes.

I would not be shocked at all if it is red-pilled blacks and Hispanics who carry Trump to re-election victory.
