Ferguson: Populists don’t “deliver on their promises.”

Also Ferguson: Under Trump “median household income rose by 9% in real terms between 2016 and 2019 — ending 17 years of stagnation — and…full employment with no rise in inflation was achieved.”

Illustrates the aphorism that those who don’t ignore history are condemned to think it will be repeated. …Populism, progressivism, populism, progressivism–so it shall be forever. Those are the only two alternatives I can think of! https://t.co/aMksvjGakm

The problem, i think-the way those 2 thoughts can be reconciled-is that while the economy may grow, along with voters’ financial situation, voters can still be unhappy with the direction the whole enterprise is heading (AI, wokeness, China rising, mass migration). So less “hope”

More Ellis: “Obama ran on Keep Hope Alive. … No one will run on ‘Keep Hope Alive in 2024.” something profound (and profoundly depressing) in that. … With a soft enough landing, though, couldn’t Biden at least proclaim “Morning in America”? https://t.co/sdy3yHVJJe

Ellis notes no Republican has cut into Trump’s support in rural and exurban counties. OK. But reminds me of what they said early in 2008 campaign about how African-Americans were sticking with Hillary and skeptical of Obama. They were until they weren’t. https://t.co/gNLQURw2el

Is this Hunter’s lawyers (Abbe Lowell & Co.) having an impact? I don’t know, but they are unlikely to be satisfied by mere “sensitive content warnings.” https://t.co/quzZdgxrD5 I suspect this was just rump Twittercrats interpreting their own overbroad restrictions.

UPDATE: @Twitter says “After careful review, we determined one or more recent tweets need the sensitive content warning.” I deleted the key image (not text) already, so it’s pretty moot. But a couple of tweets have crazy low impresssion #s (eg 206 instead of the usual 1500 or so)
