Lately, it’s been easy to give in to despair. Trump is way down in the polls, we’ve suffered reversals on DACA (and Trump’s own reversals on rescinding foreign student visas for colleges going online-only in the fall and on suspending foreign worker visas through the end of the year), BLM is murdering people for saying “All Lives Matter,” and so on.
Despair is a sin. Like most situations in life, doing the opposite of what you feel is virtuous. Wallowing in self-pity (or shouting angrily during one of Tucker Carlson‘s litanies of unpunished progressive malfeasance) is the emotionally satisfying approach, but it’s not very productive.
I’m noticing that a number of folks on our side of this great culture war are taking the “black pill.” Z Man railed against Trump in this week’s podcast, and in a post earlier this week (which I referenced yesterday). Milo had all-but written Trump off until the Roger Stone commutation.
