1.If you misunderstood the revolution that just took place, Trump defeating both parties and returning power to the voter, then you might also be missing the real enemy: the Deep State, the Bureaucracy…..the Administrative State.
It is those who believe that they know best how to run the country, no matter what the voters believe….they suck up control as a vacuum sucks up dirt.
2. It doesn’t matter what the voter views as good. The is the view of the first Progressive President, Woodrow Wilson, who famously said, "Men are as clay in the hands of a consummate leader," which means that a skilled leader can easily manipulate and influence the masses, much like a potter shaping clay, highlighting his belief in the powerful role of leadership in shaping public opinion and action.
He was also a Fascist.
3. So Trump and Musk are attempting to dismantle the Administrative State, and reduce both its size and the power it has assumed. There is nothing in the Constitution that gives power to agencies.
4. The concept of ‘checks and balances’ is viewed by Progressives as standing in the way of addressing every and any ‘social ill.’ It is of more than passing interesting that Progressives view of government is of the contrary: powers must be centralized in an executive,
and the bureaucrats that invest this type of government.
“…the agencies comprising
the bureaucracy reside within the executive branch of our national government, but their powers transcend the traditional boundaries of executive power to include both legislative and judicial functions, and these powers are often exercised in a manner that is largely independent of presidential control and altogether independent of political control.”

5. Through the use of media, schools and control of pop culture, millions of Americans have been used just as Democrat Woodrow Wilson said, as malleable lumps of clay, convinced to believe in censorship, radical values and attitudes, and the very opposite of what America was destined to be. Let’s hope Trump and Musk succeed.
