We need to return to State's Rights.

We need to fire 80 percent of the federal government and shut down most of the federal agencies.

We need a supreme court that declares unconstitutional laws and regulations, unconstitutional.

I don't think that the credentialed class is down for the count just yet. The latest test is going to be what happens over the next nine months or so.

My liberal friends and acquaintances are convinced that people will be dying in the streets, crops will rot in the fields, jobs will evaporate, and the little old lady down the street will have her door broken down by ICE and dragged to Alligator Alcatraz. Because the experts and CNN tells them so.

When none of that happens, I'd like to think that the scales will fall from their eyes. It won't be everyone by any stretch. But I hope that it's enough to give Trump veto and fillabuster proof majorities in the midterms.

Because, I think that it's going to take a generation to fix the damage assuming that common sense can keep getting reelected. And the American people are willing to accept a little pain with progress.
