“Liberal democracy,” he says, “offers moral constraints without problem-solving” — a lot of rules, not a lot of change — while “populism offers problem-solving without moral constraints.” B.S.
Populists believe in limited government of, by and for the people.
The opposite of populism is elitism.
Elitists (AKA Liberal Democrats) believe in unlimited government of, by and for an entitled, hereditary, autocratic political/bureaucratic class.

Wow. More and more projection from the NYTs!
It is leftists who do not have and do not want moral constraints.
It is leftists who do not want to be constrained by "what was".
It is leftists who pile hate on others.
This goes so far opposite from reality it is beyond satire.

What they delivered was permission to abandon societal inhibitions, to amplify the grievances of one’s own group and heap hate on assorted others, particularly on groups that cannot speak up for themselves. Don't you love the liberals' abilities a projection.

It appears M. Gessen’s response to the election is doubling down on self-importance.

“Trump promises that you don’t have to think about other people.” Lib "thinking about other people" means thinking government should do "something," and then going off to have lunch.

Land doesn’t vote. But states do, via the electoral college.
That's why we are call the United STATES and not the United Voters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does every liberal hack writer have to work in the word "amplify"?
To: Yardstick
...to amplify the grievances of one’s own group... Evidently Mr./Mrs. Gessen as the case may be believes the purpose of government is to pit "intersectional" identity groups against each other.

“Masha Gessen is a Russian-American journalist, author, translator. Gessen is nonbinary and trans and uses they/them pronouns.”
THIS is the dark, unspoken promise of M. Gessen: soulless transhumanism that delivers not liberation, liberty, or progress, but rather slavery, sickness physical and mental, death of the body in due time, and cursed second death, existing (not living!) in torment, apart from GOD for all eternity.
Sick, twisted, pitiful bastard.

Sure does beat the Joe Pedo and the Jamaican VooDoo queen’s sh*t show. I guess Springstein is moving to Canada. President Trump has already begun making America great again. They can keep him.
