From Francis Fukuyama: "Trumpism is basically a mentality drenched in what Nietzsche labeled ressentiment, that is, acute resentment of others based on wounded pride, perceived disregard, fears of inadequacy, and a desire to exact revenge on those who had earlier failed to pay adequate respect."

The entire left wing dogma for the last decade+ exemplifies the French word for resentment.

After all, if they are worth having, then someone is willing to pay for what they are selling.

I used to listen to NPR, but it is now just Democratic talking points on loop, on subjects that are largely irrelevant but divisive.

Nope. Not even close. See Fox News or Newsmax for an example of propaganda.

Can a Democrat President unilaterally cut off Congressional authorized funding for infrastructure projects in a red state because the red state Governor is preaching right wing propaganda?

That’s exactly what Trump just did.

Tell us if that comports with your understanding of how American Government and the Constitution is designed to operate.

Just because Congress authorizes spending, doesn't mean the money has to be spent.

Arguably ... of course, there's an element of political theater here. A judge will thwart him, it will become a visible public issue, and he'll force Congress to eliminate funding all around.

Trump wins one way or the other.

Good thing. Can see a good bit of impoundment under Bernie or AOC of things they don’t like after Mango tanks the nation and we shift from rightist to leftist nuts.

He also can’t direct the Board to do things.

The center will not hold in this nation. Agree with Curls there.
