The Power and Parasitism of Big Government

Inspired by Yuval Levin‘s National Review cover story on constitutional conservatism, I’m at Ricochet offering a somewhat sad, very bird’s-eye story about how left-liberalism is losing its authority.

If the scope and tempo of conservative liberalism [...] is founded on a certain kind of people — a people with a certain kind of foundation of their own — then the practice of left-liberalism should be distinguished for its ability to flourish whether or not a people like ours even possesses the left-liberal foundation created to oppose and replace the right-liberal one.

Don’t think this is necessarily great news for the right.
