President Donald Trump is using every tool he has to challenge woke practices in America — and he has a lot of them.
Notably, none of the mechanisms that the president is using were put in place by conservatives for leverage against progressive institutions.
No, Trump is simply availing himself of the vast federal apparatus created by liberals on the assumption that an ever-more powerful and extensive federal government was synonymous with righteousness.
Now that someone is in charge who doesn’t agree with them and who is willing to use all the influence that the progressive state affords him, they are vulnerable to the centralized power that they’ve eagerly built up over decades.
Expanding the federal government has been a progressive priority since the time of Woodrow Wilson, and now its tentacles — via federal funding and a skein of rules — reach into practically every corner of American life.

Not according to the district judges.
I voted for this. I fully support tipping over the apple cart and restacking the fruit, rottens discarded.
Why do you suppose liberals didn’t think a conservative president wouldn’t use the power of the federal government against them?
Here is my theory: Because they know they are evil and know conservatives play by the rules, and are wussies.
they were counting on the 4th branch the bureaucratic state
to stymie him
the bureaucratic state that Trump is dismantling
Great analogy but so many youngsters have no idea what an apple cart is.
So close. Woodrow Wilson was not America's first Progressive President. He was arguably its third. Taft being its second.(Until Taft came to reason half-way in)
Expanding the federal government has been a progressive priority since the time of Theodore Roosevelt. The American Progressive era is 1900-1920, specifically because of mr big time hot shot Bull Moose.
Anyways, we need to be very careful about this. Any time a conservative has elected office (as opposed to some weak spineless Bush RINO) the goal should always be to reduce the size of the Federal Government.
Yes, Trump does have all of these levers because progressives put them there but at the end of the day every one of those levers is EVIL and must be dismantled.
RINOs are not “weak and spineless”; they are left-wing ideologues just as much as Democrats are.
I love it.
Using the left’s own tactics against them and watching the meltdown when it happens to THEM.
The boot of the state should now be stomping on democRAT faces forever. It should be a law.

On target more like communists than progressives.

And we still live in a digital surveillance state.

Until then, they can pound sand.
President Trump, you are the Man! Kudos to you.
Ecclesiastes 10:20 niv Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
Technically, it was actually happening since under Thomas Jefferson if Liberty the God that Failed is to be believed.
If you have to resort to a technicality then you are only fabricating your own facts.
