In what is being called the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II, 2025 will end with 300,000 fewer workers employed by the United States government.
Trump is called a dictator. But dictators EXPAND the power of government; not deplete it. Trump has cut the government more than any political leader in modern history–maybe ever. I find it hilarious that leftists view this as dictatorship. Leftists actually feel victimized when they don’t get to loot and control productive people. Leftists feel crazed and spat upon when rapists and murderers are deported and imprisoned. For doing what should be done, and for making life on earth sane and possible, leftists call you evil.
And then there are the self-proclaimed lovers of liberty (establishment Republicans, libertarians, the Ayn Rand Institute) who stand ready to bear any burden and suffer any fate to get rid of Trump. They would rather have Stalin as President than Trump, even though Trump has done more to advance their policies and principles than any American president for a century or more.
Psychologists will study the anti-Trump hysteria for generations to come. Whatever they conclude or discover, it will have something to do with what gave us Nazi Germany. But today’s leftists and faux conservatives are just so pitiful, so lightweight, so unimportant. They’re not really Darth Vaders so much as mosquitos. How did we get to a place where the metaphysically insignificant get to have any influence at all?
Trump’s greatest achievement is something that he did not directly do. He showed us what’s wrong with not just the government, but our whole way of thinking. By not buying any of the brainwashing, and displaying his uncanny immunity to it, he showed us that we never needed to tolerate any of the madness. He is a heroic figure in his willingness to take unconscionable legal harassment and literal bullets for daring to state the plainly obvious. Now it’s up to the rest of us to embrace this lesson, and run with it.
