Everyone supporting Massie supported ruining President Trump. That's a good way to assess things and people going forward.
@slooperbia50068 I've seen this quote, in another recent essay on Podhoretz, I don't remember where. It took him too long (when did he write that? in the 90s or after?), but he was obviously right here.
@slooperbia50068 Stopping immigration almost completely is a precondition. Reindustrialization is a precondition. Shutting down the left is a precondition. Get enough preconditions and you get the thing.
@slooperbia50068 Really late, then.
@slooperbia50068 Maybe you had too many progressive friends. Reading Podhoretz has always been very familiar to me because his thinking is a more thought-out and eloquent version of the way my parents thought. Maybe in part because they read Commentary.
@slooperbia50068 Have you read "My Negro Problem--and Ours"?
@slooperbia50068 Are you referring to my claim that the neoconservatives brought the logic of the Nuremberg Trials whereby you could try state officials for how they treat those they governed into foreign policy?
@slooperbia50068 I think Grok might help with that (I've heard).
@slooperbia50068 Stopping immigration forces assimilation because it stops replenishment of previous culture; reindustrialization means high tech, well paying jobs; shutting down the left means less crime and disorder (for starters).
@slooperbia50068 Yes. No more cousins coming over every few years, limits on building communities organized around same language, etc.
@slooperbia50068 Does it contribute to assimilation?
@slooperbia50068 I see.
@slooperbia50068 I don't know about that.
