On Saturday, Donald Trump Jr. spoke in Dallas at the annual Reagan Day dinner to a group of Republican prospective major donors.
"You guys get it” he told them. “ You understand the freedoms... so many of which we've lost... I can say that and mean it because I see it."
Yes, Donald Trump, Jr., one of the richest white men in the world, just said he’s lost so many freedoms.
if there’s one group who understands more deeply than anyone else the loss of freedom, it’s this billionaire white male and his wealthy white audience.
Praising his own father’s actions since his rise to power, he exulted: “I'm watching more take place in two months than I saw in two terms before.”
He has a point.
A point often demonstrated by others seeking to destroy the trappings of enlightenment: it’s dramatically faster and easier to tear down than to build.
