Noonan blames Trump for the attempted coup "Noonan wrote, "Their fears about him weren’t assuaged by trusty old hands inside the White House because those hands weren’t there. They didn’t join the administration, because they didn’t want their résumés tainted or they thought wise counsel would never be heeded. Or because they’d signed a letter opposing him in 2016 and would never be forgiven. "So a lot of good people didn’t come in or weren’t allowed in. And those who did work for the president came to seem strange — fierce, emotional, half mad themselves. There were good people there — the generals were solid — but one by one they left." The message from DC is clear: work for The Donald and you end your career. So much for her illusion of this crowd being public servants. If you love your country, you serve when called. Hers is a roundabout way to blame President Trump for the attempted coup by the Deep State and the Fourth Estate, which awarded her a Pulitzer for her contributions to this effort." Peggy isn't so much burning bridges as damaging her reputation. Americans have decided that the old Washington ways of graft and corruption must end. Progressivism has finally caused so much pain in middle America that middle Americans can no longer ignore the actions and policies of the corrupt foolocrats and fooloticians who live in DC. The idea that Trump cutting the fools, whether old fools or young, of DC off at the knees is bad is silly. The people are tired of being treated like serfs and taxed like the wealthy. It is time for a change. NeverTrumpers like Noonan cannot allow their political beliefs to show, were that to happen, middle America would discount her opinion permanently. All she has is her opinion, and her contract to provide that opinion in print. Surber is correct; Noonan attacks the person because she cannot attack the policies or the outcomes. "She wrote, "It was all this — the president’s disdain, his well-fed resentments — that not only left Washington thinking Mr. Trump was crazy. It made Washington itself a fertile field for crazy. It was in this atmosphere that the Steele dossier, with its whacked out third-rate spy fiction, became believable, that sober-minded officials reportedly wondered if they should wear wires when they met with the president. "He destabilized the entire town." No. The town's Road Rage against him comes from their refusal to accept the will of the people and the policies that serve America and not Washington." Noonan is playing the role of the road rager girlfriend who screams at the victim her boyfriend is throwing down with but who doesn't enter the fight unless the victim is down and out. "But that is not going to happen. It's over. Gérard Araud told them so. He is retiring as the French ambassador to the United States. He threw the best parties in Kalorama. Araud told The Atlantic, "There is a misconception about Trump which is American and French: saying Trump is an accident, and when Trump leaves power, everything will go back to business as usual. That’s the dream of Washington, D.C." That will not happen. The Old Washington failed. It gutted the Fly Over nation by replacing Americanism with globalism. This pleased all those sophisticated ambassadors at those trendy parties (and got deals in Ukraine for Biden's idiot son) but the Midwest and South were flattened. The in crowd shut down American factories. President Trump brought those factories back, much as his Grand Hyatt Hotel brought a renaissance in construction in Manhattan. Noonan's column is like a plantation owner in the 1870s longing for a return to the Antebellum South. Nope. The Old South failed. Now Old Washington has failed too. We are not going back. No amount of personal attacks on the president will change that." The progressive left has once again gone too far and awoken leviathan, the American public. We may hate politics but we hate being awoken to deal with idiots in politics who have screwed up a nearly unscrew-upable system. Once awakened, leviathan will turn and address the problems our idiot political class has created. In doing so, we will reform many perhaps all of America's institutions to work better and to achieve the goals We the People want to achieve. We will not be satisfied with that. However, we will then go on to reform the international system, from the political elements like the UN to the financial elements like the World Bank and the IMF. We will not stop there, alliances will be forced to hew to real standards and belligerent nations will face the consequences of their actions. While Trump may be the new Sheriff in town, what is happening is not limited to the change of Sheriff from incompetent Obama to brawler Trump. What is happening is a paradigm shift where everything we know is likely to change in an attempt by middle America to allow We the People to spend less time wrangling about government and more time with family, friends, and work - including leisure and hobby. Progressivism is the walking dead; it just needs to tip over. Trump is the agent which will cause that event, but the real change will happen after Trump and after the crisis when the nation rebuilds. The rebuilding will be the final washing away of any remaining progressive influences. I hope Peggy finds her way out. I've always enjoyed her prose. But until she does her voice has little power.
