Greetings, Dear Reader,

Is something far out of the mainstream if a majority of the people like it?

It’s a basic question, and still, liberals are perennially incapable of squaring the math on it.

OOPS, DEMOCRACY IS HAPPENING

Every story I can find about the chances of Germany’s AfD party in the lead up to state elections in Saxony characterizes the political movement as “far right” and/or fringe.

Of course, from the perspective of a writer in New York City or Washington, D.C., writing under mastheads like The Atlantic or Bloomberg or The New York Times, anything to the right of John Kasich is “far right.”

The AfD, which was once subject to overt state surveillance as a result of an “extremist” designation, is now slated to win control of a federal state in Germany. As a result, the sense of impending doom is striking deep into the hearts of liberal writers living literal continents away.
