I’ve had some politicians tell me they don’t like it when I call them establishment Republicans. Many of these guys who want to control what I say were perfectly fine with lockdowns five years ago. What it tells us about our current ruling class is that we aren’t dealing with a crowd of intellectuals. They were, if you count the liberals and editorial boards (and I’m redundant), at Idaho’s dying newspapers. I would like to say lessons were learned, but once more, we’re not dealing with intellectual titans.
