The Democrats are not running on policy. They are running on memes that roll across your eyes momentarily like a Tik-Tok video, but never sink into your consciousness.

I first heard it, very faintly, in 2017. At the time, President Donald Trump was accused of spying for Russia. If true, this would have been the biggest act of treason in American history, bigger than Aldrich Ames, bigger than the Rosenbergs, bigger than Benedict Arnold.

The New York Times and Washington Post published long articles that detailed Trump’s treachery, for which they shared a Pulitzer Prize. Adam Schiff, head of the intelligence committee, stood up night after night on cable news, claiming he had secret “bombshell” information proving that Trump was a traitor.

The charges were investigated and ultimately dismissed. Trump was not a Russian agent. He was not working for Putin. The greatest security threat in the history of the country was -- a hoax. And then I heard it: nothing. Very few outlets reported that Trump was innocent, that the attempt to rout him from office had failed. Schiff disappeared from view. There were no corrections, no apologies, no firings. The Times and the Post did not return their Pulitzer Prizes.

The sound of silence grew still louder during the COVID pandemic. The government fed the panic with a heavy-handed assist from social media. As revealed in the Twitter files and more recently, from Mark Zuckerburg himself, the security state worked with X and Facebook to quash any questions about the efficacy of the vaccine and ultimately, the need for massive government intervention in the economy.
