How to Finally Break the Failed Cycle of Politics | 11/7/24
Description
Now is when the real work begins. Voting is like a gun, but legislative activism is like the bullet to load that gun. Today, I offer a unique presentation on why spectacular electoral victories for the Right always end in both policy and political failure within two years. This time will be no different if we don’t change our approach. Weaving together some electoral observations from the election results together with policy analysis, I offer an agenda built on empowering states to go separate ways on a bunch of critical issues. Rather than promising to cut spending and then never doing it, Republicans should use the few leverage points they have to devolve welfare, agriculture, transportation, and education programs to the states so that they can go in separate ways. We also need to fortify red states from the inevitable Democrat comeback, and that will require a new focus on primaries. We must strike while the iron is hot. We will never enjoy more political capital than today.
