The author’s explanation, while partially true, completely ignores the role of special-interest money in explaining GOP cowardice. The GOP must cave in order to maintain the flow of K Street money. If they were to act on principle by seriously reducing government expenditures, K Street cut them off without a cent. Remember the Artful Dilettante’s First Rule of Politics—Follow the $$$$ !!

This is YUGE ! But you won’t hear a word of it on the evening news.
In all of recorded history, socialism has not one success story. Socialism is the Cleveland Browns of history and civilization. Yet, there are no shortage of thugs, politicians, social justice warriors, the chattering classes, and academics who continue, unbowed, in their blind support for this abject failure. No socio-economic system has wrought more misery and suffering on mankind than socialism. Venezuela is just the latest victim of this warped philosophy; many more are to follow.

The Left is destroying our country, everything we’ve built and worked for, methodically organized and orchestrated. They are always on offense; they never take their eyes off the prize. Their thinking and planning is completely long-term—begun with the Progressive Movement in the late 19th century.
What can hardly be called their opposition is disjointed, corrupted, with no long-term plans or goals, and no strategic thinking. Their time-horizon is the next election. To describe the opposition as lame would be way too generous. I fear it’s going to take nothing less than a miracle to save our country.
Social justice and climate change are the greatest hoaxes in history.
