It's rather hard to argue with the kind of economic growth we've had since the dead hand of overregulation was lifted, and shall not be burdening us again until Democrats get in power. Oxnard is absolutely plastered with help-wanted signs in the shop windows. In two decades in California, I have never seen its commerce so lively -- and you know California is not exactly the most commerce-friendly of states. I understate: Sacramento is more hostile than friendly.

Keeping that economic surge in mind, you might note that the "Trump Base" that certain persons write about so detachedly, as if they were some small and remote group of The Others quietly beyond the pale, amounts to something like three fifths of the electorate. Maybe as much as two thirds. Certain persons would like us not to notice.

The accomplishments the anti-Trumpkins resolutely will never acknowledge are the ones I know about, and the ones that impress me the most. Anti-Trumpianism is actuated not by love of country nor the slightest concern for its strengths, ways, and institutions, but solely by raw, naked prejudice. They should only put on some sheets -- they have long been a Democratic fashion element. (The last Republican KKK'er probably died circa 1950. In Illinois. As probably a former Klansman.)

For this and other reasons, the Socialist Democrats are no one you'd want to associate with. For some of those reasons, under one convenient cover, dig into Williamson's Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism.
