Trump's allies have all deserted him; the election is certified; all accounts point to a permanent removal from social media once he leaves office. But that does nothing to assuage the anger that Trump supporters felt on Wednesday, nothing to deal with the crisis of confidence in democracy that has left 40% of the electorate questioning whether this election was legitimate.

I.F. Stone writes in his "Trial of Socrates" that Socrates was killed because he fundamentally opposed the idea of self-government. But Socrates' true position is closer to that of most spiritual leaders, that true authority proceeds from conscience, from moral authority, not from the barrel of a gun.

Is Juneteenth a fake liberal holiday invented to demonize the white man? We don't think so. On the contrary, regardless of your politics, we think Juneteenth represents a victory for humankind, a giant leap for mankind. Most of human history had slavery in it; we became enlightened enough in the 1860s to abolish the practice in this country. And that, we think, is a victory worth celebrating.

Freedom and virtue go together: indeed, without virtue, freedom becomes just another way for discontents and criminals to take advantage of society. Cuba is a great example: with an angry United States on its doorstep, one could argue that Cuba could not afford to let speech be free, lest U.S. agents try to use that freedom against the Cubans to undo their revolution and install the sort of government the U.S. wanted.

Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley seem to think that Big Tech is censoring conservatives. What they don't realize is that ANYONE outside the Democratic Party mainstream is in line for a crackdown by the powers that be. And that includes the progressive left. Populists unite!
