Since the days of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, America has had three viewpoints on how Americans should govern. Washington disdained political parties because partisan interests didn’t unify the nation against enemies foreign and domestic; quarreling factions opened the door for enemies to weaken the concept of a free nation. Alexander Hamilton was America’s first elitist; he didn’t trust the common people. He wanted safeguards against self-governance because he feared the people might revolt against elites such as himself. Thomas Jefferson believed in trusting citizens to make decisions for themselves and was suspicious of intrusive government. He believed a government that governs least governs best.
Hamiltonians, who morphed into modern-day elitists, do everything for partisan gain and political expediency. The elites govern in the pursuit of pleasure without any concern about the long-term harm they cause. Recklessness, emotion, and a sense of entitlement rule them. They want to impose these rules on certain classes that they feel need wisdom and instruction.
The elites’ rigid obsession with diversity and multiculturalism, rather than competency, turns some things into a bureaucratic nightmare. The CEO of McDonald’s Corp could lose 15% of his bonus if he doesn’t achieve certain hiring diversity goals, for example.
To elites, different points of view are considered hate speech. They are all-knowing as wise but what have they been right on? Where is the wisdom, denying 18-year-olds from drinking in bars, while sending them off to faraway places to die in rich man’s wars? What complicated math do you need to recognize that outsourcing American jobs for slave wages does not benefit Americans but wealthy elites?
It amazes me those who read the Washington Post or the New York Times believe they are more informed than the unwashed masses in flyover country. If you take the average Washingtonian and dropped them off in flyover country, they would freeze to death or get sucked up by a tornado. Their priorities are not lowering crime, securing borders, or creating jobs.
Donald Trump, the unwashed rube, tried to create wealth in America, but the Woke did not want jobs or better opportunities. I find it odd the same people who are cheering socialism take their government checks and squander them at Walmart and Amazon, which pay their worker’s low wages, pay little taxes and do nothing for communities of color.
According to the elite, we all should cheer President Joe Biden who won 80 million votes, even though the rest of the world knows something Americans don’t. That we swapped what other nations envied about America. That we were independent and self-reliant. We already had a revolution overthrowing tyranny, yet have allowed the descendants of Hamilton to convince the masses that freedom is too risky and society needs to defer to rulers, experts, and kings.
