This happens when you get limpwristed ideologue executives put into office
In one of the PBS series that engages American history (was it The American Experience? Frontline? I don’t remember and can’t find it online), the producers took a look back at the Carter administration. The show I’m thinking of would have been broadcast some 20 years ago.
Former Vice President Mondale was interviewed for the show. In a clip toward the end, Mondale recited a litany of woes that beset Carter as he (and they) stood for reelection: unemployment, inflation, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iranian takeover of our embassy in Tehran, and so on.
In Mondale’s telling, these were like acts of God, the mysterious eruptions of of an indifferent universe. Yet in one way or another they could be traced to Carter administration policies. Mondale was of course clueless to the connection between left liberal policies and disaster. Unless its true object is the accrual of power to be exercised by a privileged elite, liberalism doesn’t “work†any more than socialism does.
To use an MSM term: “Surprisingly!”
And again with the “liberalism” descriptor. However, other than that, the post is pretty damn good. Not so “surprisingly.”
This seems to happen a lot with neo feudalist types. They are always surprised when reality intrudes into their dream worlds.
Oh, I doubt that very much. He knew. Just like the current occupants of the White House know. It’s what they intend to happen.
The Gramscian March continues unrestrained.
