Real infrastructure progress could damage 'Trumpism'

 

Greg Sargent of the Washington Post, co-writer with Paul Waldman on "The Plum Line", makes the case that passing a badly-needed infrastructure bill, and then implementing it across the country, would be very bad for the Trumpism cause.

I agree, and I've thought that for awhile, and I'll have something else to say about that pretty soon, because now is the time to bring up an idea I had a couple of years ago.  But now is REALLY the time for it.

Biden’s next big move could deliver a crippling blow to Trumpism

"This suggestion [by Florida's idiot governor DeSantis] — that feverish anti-leftist delirium is becoming the central organizing principle for much of the GOP as it remains captive to former president Donald Trump — provides Democrats with a big opening.

The coming debate over a major infrastructure package will show how. If President Biden and the Democratic Congress can pass such a package, it could deal a big blow to Trumpism, aided by the faction’s own continuing descent into hallucinatory anti-leftism."

Or to put it another way, make jobs and fix America's crumbling roads, bridges, sewers, ports, plumbing ... and more ... is how to demonstrate that this administration knows how to run a country.
