Peggy Noonan still doesn't get it - and likely never will

Peggy Noonan's latest column in the Wall Street Journal

But it is a weakness of Trump supporters now that they still cannot take seriously the unreadiness of the White House for a sudden, immediate and high-stakes crisis. They do not see the chaos and the lack of professionalism of the unstaffed government as a danger. It is, a dreadful one.

This is the glaring defect that Peggy fails to see.  It’s not just that the people who govern America don’t care about the people in the country.  It’s that the ruling class has done such a piss poor job of governing.   

They don’t realize that they have done a terrible job because they are doing really, really well for themselves.  In that, they resemble the oligarchs and dictators who rule in places like Cuba and Venezuela.  They are fat, happy and rich while their people go dumpster diving for food.   

Americans living in places away from the metropolitan areas on both coasts are not yet in the same shape as Venezuelans, but they have seen their jobs and dreams escaping thanks to the plans and policies of the ruling class who exported their jobs to third world countries and their dreams for their children buried under piles of college loan debt that did not provide the future they were promised.
