Traditionally, our “Ruling Class” understood that America came first before its ideological aims. They understood that this demanded a “Limited Government” that let the rest of us decide for ourselves what is best for us.
That there was no comprehensible way they could know enough about our Civil Society to know all the elements and interconnections to make sweeping changes.
They understood that “change for the sake of change” mostly resulted in calamity.
And then the Progressives started in with the Woodrow Wilson Administration that decided WE didn’t know what was good enough for us – but that they did. They moved us away from being a Republic using democratic processes to their desired Administrative State that would “govern” use via technocrats who are non-partisan and “only have our best interests at heart.”
Biden’s America – A Society That Has Given Up on Itself. Well, it’s more a ruling class that has given up on the society it rules. They’re following Rhett Butler’s maxim that you can make as much money by tearing a civilization down as by building it up. – Instapundit
We’re not far from that Administrative State, but we have learned that those we elect to be part of that Ruling Class have their own agendas and not ours. And we’ve learned that the “non-partisan technocrats” are highly partisan and generally not as smart as many of those of us that don’t receive a government paycheck. Sure, there are some good people in government, but too many are all but willing to change us into their own image.
