Our Bureaucracy

Posted by Thoughts and Ramblings on Wednesday, November 20, 2024

In one of my previous posts, I talked about the phrase our democracy and how those using the phrase do not intend the word our to include the general public. However, in the past few weeks I saw on X that this is far better described by substituting the word bureaucracy for the word democracy (as reiterated by this tweet by Elon Musk).

So there you go: Trump is a threat to our bureaucracy. It’s true and that exactly why people elected him. The people want a threat to the bureaucracy to bring it to heel. The mainstream (lamestream to many of us former listeners) press tried to tell us all along but they just couldn’t get it quite right. Perhaps they believed that if they did, even more would vote for Trump?
