One theory for the Democrats’ catastrophic loss

Now that the Democrats’ humiliating electoral defeat has gone into the record books, the remaining processes are beginning to unfold. The driving force for this is not Mr. Trump’s popularity or Harris-Walz’s lack thereof. It is the long overdue awakening of the formerly free-living American public to the accumulated tyranny of the modern mega-state.

Various justifications have been offered for this persecution of the general public. Most conspicuous is the grossly hyperbolic threat of catastrophic “climate change.” In California and at least eleven other states, unelected agency functionaries have issued complete bans on new fossil-fueled motor vehicles, to occur within the conceivable future.

Ignorance of the oscillation between past ice ages and warm periods was assumed to enable the political success of this hoax, but the resulting government-imposed misery was too much for free people to accept. To further provoke this discontent, here in Northern California, there are frost warnings around the outlying Bay Area, and snow-caused mountain road closures, while winter is well over a month away

Hayek hit the nail on the head when he named planners as the primary enemy of freedom. I once heard two urban planners discuss the problem of traffic congestion in urban centers (formerly known as downtowns). Their brilliant solution was to drastically reduce the amount of available parking spaces...thus forcing people to use public transportation. Who really are the fascists in our midst?

I am curious to see how DOGE works. There is just so much waste to deal with.

I believe you could balance the budget with the implementation of DOGE.
