On Blueberry Hill
Looking towards another sand dune under restoration, with the Daughters of Sarah nursing home kind of filling in the background.

Conventional wisdom and keep digging
I think it’s a mistake to underestimate how broken things really are these days in America, how much inefficency and waste is built into American life, and how most Americans aren’t that happy about their lives today.
One thing I think is underestimated by many liberals is how much Trump speaks to that message and even proposes solutions, even if his solutions that involve rejecting the conventional are mostly fake and don’t really get to the root of society’s problems.
At one level, you can see the cruelty and idiocy of his policies. But at another level, there is something beautiful and wonderful about his critique of society, that too often perveyers of the status quo ignore.
