The Party Is Over
Our times present opportunity to reassert a principle of Enlightenment; namely that the people themselves should have role in shaping regime.

The Trump administration, pushed by the Department of Government Efficiency and deployed by the Office of Personnel Management, has sent another email to all federal employees with a normal request to present five tasks accomplished in the last week.
It’s an easy task. It takes 5 minutes. In the service industry, this is entirely normal, even routine. Taking inventory of the workforce is standard for any new management in the private sector.
Oddly, absolute mania broke out among the pundit class. Government unions are preparing lawsuits. The panic and frenzy is palpable. As it turns out, no new president has ever done anything like this before, no Democrat who believes in good government and no Republican who supposedly distrusts bureaucracy.
Something dramatic has hit Washington. It’s about more than Trump.
The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two existing parties. It goes by the name Republican but this is nearly a historical accident. The GOP was a vessel that was least protected against invasion and occupation. It has now been nearly taken over by outsiders who had little or no influence within the party a decade ago.
Nearly all the top people now in power – including Trump of course but also Musk, Gabbard, Kennedy, Lutnick, and so many more, to say nothing of the voters themselves – are refugees from the Democratic Party.

Given the meme culture of our time, this new party went by various names, first MAGA and then MAHA and then DOGE (in homage to the meme coin that started as a joke and then became real).

These are new and highly promising times, as the old undergoes a merciful dismantling and something entirely new takes its place. We find the roots of the ideology of the administrative state in the works of Woodrow Wilson, and it takes only a few minutes of reading his deluded fantasies of how science and compulsion would forge a better world to see that it was only a matter of time before the whole experiment was in tatters.
It took more than a century but that day is finally here. The paradigm has shifted. For all the messiness and frenzy – including the chaos, confusion, and betrayals – our times at least present opportunity to reassert a foundational principle of the Enlightenment; namely that the people themselves should have some fluid and influential role in shaping the workings of the regime under which they are forced to live.

Great Article...
This line is something that many still don’t understand:
“The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two existing parties. It goes by the name Republican but this is nearly a historical accident. The GOP was a vessel that was least protected against invasion and occupation. It has now been nearly taken over by outsiders who had little or no influence within the party a decade ago.”
Something very different happened that may well give new life to republic. A self renewal.
Maybe that’s what the founders were thinking of when the framed our U.S. Constitution. How do you make a government and people self renewing. (as opposed to the usual fate of regimes which is decline and decay until they are wiped out by neighboring countries.)
Neo-Marxist Democrat and RINO globalist forces are in all branches and are not going to give up without a fight. Will the courts eventually do the right thing and support the chief executive’s constitutional powers? Will Congress follow the will of People and pass transformative cuts in government spending. Seems questionable but we can hope.
The majority of us will believe the changes when we see indictments, trials and imprisonment (executions for treason).
Expect to see violence coming from the Neo-Marxists within the coming months that will make the "2020 Summer of Love" appear tame.
