Silicon Valley icon Peter Thiel exposes the left’s contradictory rhetoric about the mass middle-class movement toward the policies espoused by Donald Trump:
Last week, he told Bari Weiss of The Free Press:
(There is) an idea,…called a Russell conjugation–two words that are synonyms, but are emotional antonyms: a fink and a whistleblower. Maybe it’s the same thing, but a whistleblower is a good person and a fink is a bad person.
I would submit that you can see a Russell conjugation with populism and democracy. Democracy is good; populism is bad. It’s democracy when people vote the right way, and it’s populism when they vote the wrong way.
…..the problem is we’re less of a constitutional republic than we used to be.
It hasn’t shifted from the constitutional republic to this mob of voters, but it has shifted from the constitutional republic to this unelected technocratic bureaucracy–the deep state.
