The current power of the right is their insight that today isn’t a peak but a valley and your children’s tomorrows are unknowable but there is little positive potential. The Democrats boilerplate the public: “education”. A post union silver bullet. One that fails to address both the current Education system failures and the dawning of a new employment age, one in which well paying work is drifting away. The Democratic leadership and public intellectuals push that tomorrows are going getting better if you move thousands of miles and relearn everything. People save the thousands of dollars and do it all the time. Some can’t. Either way their vision entails the deaths of thousands of communities for those individuals to struggle as lower middle class against the rising rents in today’s cities. For those communities, they need a narrative where they survive. Automation is not slowing. Democrats need to solve the future with bold and wide action. They need to live their proclaimed values. Run companies that pay equal both in diversity and in hierarchy. Welcome others as much as they want to be welcomed. We don’t need the government to make us good people.
