No thanks to the mainstream press, which mostly depicts the Dutch farmers as budding Nazis if they cover the protests at all, but here's a bit of good news. Dutch voters just
rose up somewhat against the recent wokista attempts to destroy their country's food production.
Ruy Texeira published a
plea this week for Democratic messages that avoid the usual crazy-as-a-rat-in-a-coffee-can tone and concentrate on positions ordinary voters can embrace without embarassment or revulsion. He didn't mention things like "let's not destroy either the power grid or food production, because that might starve a lot of poor people in the immediate future," but he did come up with some unusually non-repulsive arguments:
Equality of opportunity is a fundamental American principle; equality of outcome is not.
Racial achievement gaps are bad and we should seek to close them. However, they are not due just to racism and standards of high achievement should be maintained for people of all races.
No one is completely without bias, but calling all white people racists who benefit from white privilege and American society a white supremacist society is not right or fair.
People who want to live as a gender different from their biological sex should have that right. However, biological sex is real and spaces limited to biological women in areas like sports and prisons should be preserved. Medical treatments like drugs and surgery are serious interventions that should not be available on demand, especially for children.
Nah. Never happen.

Those aren't crazy, true.
But they strike me as right on schedule for the presidential primaries heating up. I think the Democrats do this every time.
I also admit that I now hear Dominic Cummings's claim that none of them, left or right, are concerned with whether their statements are true, or even whether they help them get reelected. They know they will either be reelected or land in another cushy job, so all these statements are about positioning themselves within the factions of their own party, not in America in general or even DC in general.
Very discouraging.
