Draggingtree Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Individualism: Just One of the Things They Don’t Get Ole Summers September 29, 2015 9 COMMENTS This political season has been a confusing one for the media and elites of both parties. In truth, the last few years have been confusing, especially the last three-odd congressional elections. They are only now starting to act as if they might “get” part of the decided tendency voters are showing toward what have been called the “outsiders.” Donald Trump seemed to be opening the door for the non-establishment political newcomer. But GOP voters have given top-tier status to three plain-speaking candidates, none of whom have held elective office before. They are all accomplished, independent people. The pundit class is beginning to grasp a few things about their connection to the public — but the essence of it is still out of their wheelhouse. Several factors play into their confusion. But for now, I’ll focus on just one. Something about the basic American character that the pundits and the Beltway Cartel completely miss. Individualism. https://ricochet.com/individualism-just-one-of-the-things-they-dont-get/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
