A gaping void exists at the center of the populist strain of Republican politics. Where the ideas should be, you find instead a primal scream of “Noooo!!”
I first met Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan years ago at a dinner, thrown by a little conservative magazine, at which journalists got to hurl questions at politicians. That was beforerode down the golden escalator to political fame and, back then, I thought of Jordan as a tea party type. Like many who fit that description, he is now more likely to be called Trumpy after he supported Trump’s delusional attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
I’m sure my Republican readers would add other things they care about: the left-wing capture of schools and education policy, the progressive drift of corporations and the mainstream media, the DEI bureaucracies metastasizing across every class of institutions, the gender-medicine doctors rushing kids onto puberty blockers and hormones. Out-of-control government spending, some among my readers murmur, much of it on foreign wars.
