MGB: Libertarianism justifies the rule of few over the many, provided the few have natural merit, which was formerly proven in battle but now it crucible is finance. Trump is their Alpha Dog, no matter how authoritarian he sounds. The Church has its own set of alpha dogs, although their authoritarianism is more hierarchical. When you are one of the little people, it is the same either way, although if you are desperate you will accept help from a variety of places. Of course, there is the other libertarianism about freedom of inquiry and morality reflecting the nature of man rather than God. That was already baptized before Augustine sold us to the Neo-Platonists, but we can have them removed.
Mayor is the farm team. Governors, Senators and Generals tend to win and be re-elected, although the success rate for Senators is roughly half. Two other categories of not will be Tycoon and Revolutionary (which we will need to clean up after Trump).
Atheist philosopher Daniel Dennett considers memes a viral life form. If we are winning people with memes, it sounds like a manipulation.
Neo-liberalism is where Democratic politicians seek money from rich people to sell out the poor economically while emoting with them. The Clintons were masters of that. It is the antidote to losing elections to the Republicans. It should not be continued in the post-Trump era (or in the event Dems don’t take back the Congress, impeach and remove him, in which case Pelosi, Clinton or Biden will be President, provided Pence is implicated too and the GOP is too weak to get rid of Trump at the cost of leaving Pence alone).
Rex is essentially arguing for the old practices on divorce because not doing so would violate the Catholic brand identity. This is that part where I told so about Catholics on the right being fine baptizing libertarianism and neo-liberalism, anything for the rich and their money. FNS happens when Francis removes the Neo-Platonists and their odd Stoic sexuality.
I don’t see Lamb as anything but a slightly centrist Democrat, as if most Republican donor don’t share his views on abortion identically. Most Democrats too. The proof of his mettle is when the Susan B. Anthony Fund (as inaptly named an organization as there ever was) puts him on their hit list.
