I heard Mark Levin - who was prudently skeptical of a red wave - opine that either the wave was predicted 2 years early, or that constitutional Americans are simply outnumbered and we'll know in 2024.
At some point, three generations of leftist academia solidly infiltrating K-12 this past generation, would produce the effect of superior numbers of leftists absorbing not just the governing bureaucracy, but industry, too, in a quasi-fascist society. It's literally a Marxist-inspired blitzkrieg against the constitutional republic.
The guy has an ace of a resume in the education, interior depts and chief of staff for a U.S. AG, and constitutional law. He misses occasionally but overall speaks from a depth of experience few can match in his arena, if any. I greatly respect the guy; states up front he's an activist for the constitutional republic and works a demon's schedule defending it.
What an embarrassment he is to our great country
At the moment, the U.S. has little or no manufac-turing for almost any component needed to produce solar energy. China, which can produce solar components less expensively, controls more than 80% of the supply chain, dominating the manufacture of solar panels and other vital equipment. In recent years, China has spent almost 10 times as much on solar manufacturing as the U.S. and Europe combined.
I agree on Trump's reason for covid spending. A lot of countries subsidized businesses which had to shut during lockdowns.I've always thought that Trump went along with covid spending because he was afraid that lack of income would cause business failures that would completely collapse the economy. Could be I'm giving him way too much credit, but I could see the need then, and am still thinking the rationale was reasonable. Congressional politicians might have had the concept of buying off the masses, but I think Trump had a broader view in going along; I'm not at all clear that Trump instigated the spending plan. It's easy to look back in hindsight and criticize decisions made in a crisis - and at the time with little information and little to fight covid it was a crisis. Some of the crisis was that we were simply unprepared medically and structurally to deal with what we should have known could happen despite massive yearly government spending on both issues.
Part of the hindsight seems to be that people tend to forget the more recent and moderate covid strains weren't what hit in the first wave. I'll forgive Trump for that, but definitely not his third grade antics.
The thing is Trump did necessary things that nobody else would touch because dems have no brains (but they are crooked and crafty buggers when it comes to buying votes) and republicans have no balls and little common sense when it comes to dealing with the masses. It's always incredible the nonsense the dems pull to seduce their world of idiots, but it works every time, and republicans are never prepared to counter.
