So wouldn’t unfettered in-migration through a nonexistent border also be “settler colonialism”?

The writer thinks the people who voted for Trump somehow admire the Cheney family.

“The writer thinks the people who voted for Trump somehow admire the Cheney family.”

That’s the real story about Trump and MAGA. Not what they did to the Dims (the Dims did it all to themselves anyway), but how they have wrested control of the GOP away from Bush, Cheney, et al. That group has been given the gate entirely. Now that is a political re-alignment!

Commiela paying Beyonce $10M for a 2-minute speech should have sealed the deal for the racist communist.

I disagree! I don’t think Populists believe in limited government at all. If popular vote overrides some constitutional restraint toss it out! That’s the populist viewpoint. Vox Populi Vox Dei. At least that’s the old definition maybe in the Trump era the definition is different or we need a new descriptive term.

Correct.

How did they refer to themselves in the days of Communistic uprisings?

Ah yes, The Vanguard of the working class

They just reached around, patted themselves on the back, and took charge.

Then, just like Napoleon the Pig in Animal Farm, needed all the cows' milk because they were thinking so hard for the rest of the animals...

“I appreciate liberals proving they are out of touch with America.”

Out of touch?? They hate America and people like you and me!

Beyond math, and occasionally the hard sciences, the universities do not have much to offer when all they can do is create letters to follow names, so that those lacking understanding can pretend to occupy a place in society.

As Adam Smith said, "The average university is a sanctuary in which exploded systems and obsolete prejudices find shelter and protection, after they have been hunted out of every other corner of the world."
