Very interesting article from Substack about the how America is changing.
Our elites’ dereliction of duty, their forgetting — about who they were supposed to be and, just as important, what America was supposed to be — is mostly to blame for the ocean of inanity that has engulfed us. The multiplying stupidities. The mythologies we promulgate online unironically or strategically. The preeners. The pronoun displayers. The opportunists. Michael Moore with his mindless Instagram post about everyone having their own Taliban.
This failure of American elites is something that will be a problem for a long time to come. It is just difficult to trust people who let things get as bad as they are now. There is a feeling that the institutions are starting to come apart and the people in charge don't seem to care.
Biden's callowness in this whole thing really hit me. He was supposed to be the compassionate candidate but these last few weeks certainly changed peoples minds about that.
