Maybe you should go mask less in the autonomous bar in NJ, and spread COVID widely to the 1st vaccinated family (WH) from the flu/hoax.

Very good article.

And herein lies the problem: the left's long march through the institutions was so thoroughly successful that it would take decades to undo it, to get the blatant ideological bias out of these institutions; particularly the media, academia and the federal bureaucracy. Conservatism cannot afford this much patience. Such a tame, ineffectual strategy for fighting back means that conservatism will suffer ultimate defeat at the hands of liberalism. You and I obviously disagree on this point, but I, for my part, prefer to get my hands dirty and retain a fighting chance over being headed toward certain defeat with decorum.

Just for the record: if McConnell and Trump had not played dirty in 2016, the federal courts would be even more liberal-leaning now than they already were at the end of Obama's tenure (instead of being brought back to a reasonable partisan composition by Trump), and the SCOTUS would have a liberal majority enshrined for decades to come. It would already be "game over". Instead of the judges from the Federalist Society that the author praises so much for their professionalism and integrity, the federal courts and the SCOTUS would be filled with even more liberal activist judges for whom, to quote the author, "the lure of political expression overcomes the strictures of professional formation". If Trump and McConnell hadnt acted against the ideal of the author, the courts would be an institution mired by even more of the "sort of corruption" that he criticizes so bitterly.

Says I already voted in the poll. Can’t remember who I chose but it was probably Hulk Hogan. Not American, lmk if/when the Hulkster won.

This is in effect what Barr has done in the Justice department. It's what Trump's victory allowed McConnell to do with the Courts. It happens that the Federalist Society is an organization worth emulating, but their members are not stacked throughout the judiciary on the basis of judicial theory, superior to the liberal equivalent though it might be. They have their position because men with power went and placed them there.

We need institutions, but we do not necessarily need these institutions. If the institutions are no longer worthy of respect, we should replace them. We need journalism and education, but if the journalists and educators are activists in disguise, we need new journalists and educators. And you get that not by praising the rotting carcass of a once reputable institution, you get it by seizing power and raising up the replacement.

In the case of the Federalist society, the replacement was good. Brietbart as journalism? Not so good. But they are functionally the same tool used for different ends.

It always amazes me that the right see's the leftist bias among the educated as a conspiracy theory rather than the fact that neo liberalism has been proven to be a failure and that the facts lean left.
If the truth of the matter happens to be the leftist ideal then it is not biased to point that out.
People have stopped caring about facts and started seeing everything through some bullshit partisan lens, i often see people pointing out a leftist bias when the media reports studies into climate change..
If the right denies science we should not have to present their wrong side to remain unbiased.

That gosh darn electoral college. Sheesh.
