We are getting crushed even in the red states on green energy and central bank digital currency. The bad guys are prepared and never miss a beat. They are even pushing driver’s licenses for illegal aliens in red states. Where is our team? Either promoting talking points, following slavishly after Trump, or grifting. I demonstrate from the recent fight over South Dakota’s bill precluding Bitcoin from being considered money that when you actually pressure red-state governors, you can get results. Also, I offer a preview of the Trump vs. DeSantis matchup by introducing a theme of based populism rooted in substance and definitive outcomes vs. populism as an end to itself, which ironically, lands in the same place as progressive populism and oligarchy. Trump’s supporters are increasingly moving in the direction of the latter.
