Thanks to Trump's election, everyone thinks they are qualified to get elected to high office. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is pondering a political career. Oprah suddenly views herself as qualified for political office. Kid Rock is floating the idea of running for Senate. Caitlyn Jenner has even hinted at running for office. When one considers the $20 trillion debt, the eternally collapsing infrastructure that somehow has no 'shovel-ready' jobs, the selective law enforcement, and myriad failures of government, it is clear that these highbrow educations aren't all they are cracked up to be. As I noted in an earlier posting, we have a lot of Ivy Leaguers for Presidents and Senators. We are closer to Buckley's less desirable composition:
I would rather be governed by the first two thousand people in the
Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand people on the
faculty of Harvard University.
William F. Buckley
Of course, Buckley was a Yale man so perhaps he was exposing a bias. Still, the results of the Washington elites speak for themselves. If there was a 100% sweep, it would do the government good, especially if the new Senators and Representatives were people who would have been unthinkable before Trump. It is time to usurp the new aristocracy that has presumed the right to rule and return to government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Good luck storming the castle!
