Even the MSM pundits like Rich Lowry are starting to get it!

Academics have, with some reason, hated Jackson for years.

Of interest is Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States (A precursor to the Federal Reserve) Jackson was afraid that the bank would become political and favored abolishing it. The bank president then did use the banks influence to oppose Jackson. Dd Jackson’s allegations drive the bank to a corrupt position or did Jackson’s allegations merely force the bank to expose its corruption?

I ask because we see much the same thing today, right now.

Trump doesn’t believe in limited government. “Jacksonians believe that the government should do everything in its power to promote the well-being — political, moral, economic — of the folk community,” Mead writes. “Any means are permissible in the service of this end, as long as they do not violate the moral feelings or infringe on the freedoms that Jacksonians believe are essential in their daily lives.”

Trump isn’t ideologically consistent. The Jacksonian philosophy, Mead notes, “is an instinct rather than an ideology — a culturally shaped set of beliefs and emotions rather than a set of ideas.”

Some people look at things as they could be, and ask Why not?’

Refreshing to have a LEADER available for POTUS.

Andy Jackson. Party at the W.H.; then dimantled the mercantilists’ grip on our nation. Trump is the right guy at the right time...and not for the
First time in our history.

Andrew Jackson was a total bad-ass.

Historian Walter Russell Mead once wrote a memorable essay on the Jacksonianism that, so many years later, serves as a very rough guide to the anti-PC and fiercely nationalistic populism of the 2016 Trump campaign.

Mead originally presented "Jacksonianism" as a counterpole to "Jeffersonianism," "Hamiltonianism," and "Wilsonianism" in foreign policy: "Jacksonians" were nationalistic, populist, and unilateralist in contrast to isolationist Jeffersonians, materialistic Hamiltonians or idealistic, internationalist Wilsonians. When the terminology caught on he started to apply it to other aspects of American politics. Few administrations fit neatly into just one category, and just how much his terminology has to do with the real, historical Andrew Jackson would take a little effort to sort out.

This is one of the most “nuanced” put-downs of white Southerners, people who are intuitive, people who dislike being talked down to by elitists and people who believe in traditional American values that I’ve read in this political season.
