On April 25, 2024 the Oxford Union held a debate on the motion that "This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy." And who better to argue the case than former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi? The only disappointment was that Our Nance did not once utter the words "Our Democracy." The reports all tell us that Winston Marshall, one-time musician, absolutely nailed Pelosi, beginning with his remark that "Populism is not a threat to democracy. Populism is democracy." But I listened carefully to Pelosi's speech.
Gag me with a spoon! In the season of Democratic prosecutors elected to "Get Trump," Nancy Pelosi is expatiating on the rule of law, and free and fair elections, and an independent judiciary.
So she uses the code word "Ethno-nationalist." To me, her choice of words is amusing, because I would say that the hated Trump is anything but an "Ethno-nationalist." Maybe I am missing something, but I experience Trump not as a race warrior but as a class warrior, fighting for all Americans that think of themselves as ordinary patriotic middle-class Americans.
Because we cannot allow Trump operatives to make fun of patronizing educated-class white women! Now for the real "Tell." We've seen demagogues come down the pike, destroy the press.
What do Republicans say? "Fake news." So, Donald Trump has destroyed the press? Hello Nancy? Are you talking about the press that has had "Fact-checkers" searching out and counting Trump lies since 2016? Of course, the press has seemed reluctant to call out President Biden on his lies.
Alas, said Pelosi, Trump's attack on "Fake news" has had a sad effect on the voters: So are diminishing this in the eyes of these poor souls who are looking for some answers.
If Trump has scrambled George Orwell's telescreens, then our ruling class is forced to push a little and make sure that "Our communities" get the right message.
