OMG SO GOOD! I wish I had time to read all your stuff... but I sure am glad I caught this one. I keep asking my mother what the "No Kings" protests goals are. Do they not feel this is too little too late? Seems to be. What is some real action we can take now? Or is it just too late? I would have loved to have these people standing with me for the past almost decade as I was organizing and trying to make their party aware of these issues. But I was just dismissed and insulted as if I hadn't been a dedicated community activist and feminist for 20+ years. Thank you for laying it out. I hope many many people who need to read this.
Brilliant! I loved these four truths you succinctly captured:
Freedom requires order.
Compassion requires boundaries.
Men are not women.
Reality is not optional.
As a Brit, I think they speak for the exhausted, silent ordinary voter everywhere. It’s easy to feel society has gone mad when you tune in to the political debate on either side so it’s so reassuring to be reminded that ordinary, sane moderate people are still there, hoping to return to more reasonable, grounded, reality based politics.

“Reality is not optional.” I never thought we’d reach the point where this became controversial, but here we are.

I noticed the Reader Picks comments for the NYT all complained that there was no such thing as the center.
