“The most dangerous thing about the Trump presidency is its risk of causing some people to regain faith in government. This would be a mistake. Of course, it’s making the opposition lose faith in government. They wanted to be the ones imposing their will for the next four years, and this caught them off guard. It derailed their ‘progress,’ progress that others experience as a descent into the Dark Ages. What I see as progress — dismantling some of the federal government — others call corruption. The case could be made that corruption is being rooted out and destroyed. This is also mistaken. It’s not corruption; it’s government working exactly as designed. The problem is in the design, not in the implementation and not in the details.” (02/19/25)
