Not in replacement numbers.
That is why they are terrified of immigration enforcement and voter fraud enforcement more than any other issues. It is also why they work so hard to sexually damage children.
They don’t reproduce effectively.
The church I attend is full of families with three or five children.
That sort of thing terrifies these people.
What do you expect for a measly hundred thou a year?
“Liberalism is a mental disease.”
Worth repeating
Amazing, how these overly educated intellectuals yet idiots are never correct with anything from health to politics!
Nassim Taleb Exposes The World’s “Intellectual-Yet-Idiot” Class!
What we have been seeing worldwide, from India to the UK to the US, is the rebellion against the inner circle of no-skin-in-the-game policymaking “clerks” and journalists-insiders, that class of paternalistic semi-intellectual experts with some Ivy league, Oxford-Cambridge, or similar label-driven education who are telling the rest of us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think… and 5) who to vote for.
But the problem is the one-eyed following the blind: these self-described members of the “intelligenzia” can’t find a coconut in Coconut Island, meaning they aren’t intelligent enough to define intelligence and fall into circularities?—?but their main skills is capacity to pass exams written by people like them. With psychology papers replicating less than 40%, dietary advice reversing after 30 years of fatphobia, macroeconomic analysis working worse than astrology, the appointment of Bernanke who was less than clueless of the risks, and pharmaceutical trials replicating at best only 1/3th of the time, people are perfectly entitled to rely on their own ancestral instinct and listen to their grandmothers (or Montaigne and such filtered classical knowledge) with a better track record than these policymaking goons.
Indeed one can see that these academico-bureaucrats wanting to run our lives aren’t even rigorous, whether in medical statistics or policymaking. They cant tell science from scientism?—?in fact in their eyes scientism looks more scientific than real science. (For instance it is trivial to show the following: much of what the Cass-Sunstein-Richard Thaler types?—?those who want to “nudge” us into some behavior?—?much of what they call “rational” or “irrational” comes from their misunderstanding of probability theory and cosmetic use of first-order models.) They are prone to mistake the ensemble for the linear aggregation of its components as we saw in the chapter extending the minority rule.
The Intellectual Yet Idiot is a production of modernity hence has been accelerating since the mid twentieth century, to reach its local supremum today, along with the broad category of people without skin-in-the-game who have been invading many walks of life. Why? Simply, in many countries, the government’s role is ten times what it was a century ago (expressed in percentage of GDP). The IYI seems ubiquitous in our lives but is still a small minority and rarely seen outside specialized outlets, social media, and or the IYI.

“Trump’s polling numbers remain at historic lows.”
Really? Last time I checked they were at 50% but I guess it depends whether you get it from fake news or other sources.
All libtard regressives do is project.
It’s a paradox but “academics” are often the most ideological, bureaucratic and stupid people you will ever meet
It is a pathetic indictment of academia that nitwits such as this pinhead are tenured faculty. What a joke.
This is exactly the excuse the establishment will use when they move to murder our President.
War is coming my friends. Sadly, I fear CW II will make the first look like a picnic
Where?
Not in the US, we are a republic.
Odd that a "historian", even one from Yale, would not know that.
Perhaps I should send him my first grade history book.
This is one of those good examples of leftists proposing that others are or will commit the crimes that they themselves are underway with committing.
They do this as inoculation by introducing the concept and then clouding the infection.
What fools.
Obama was immensely authoritarian while Trump has not been authoritarian at all. Trump has acted with the law behind him while Obama kept skirting the law and attempting to act beyond or without the mandate of law.
Obama spent most of his two terms at 35 to 47 percent. And HE was the greatest president EVER.
...of course, nobody talks about that.
From the author’s perspective it is a coup against the democracy of foreigners voting in our elections and deciding America’s future.
Trump is a threat to those who want open borders and a US subservient to the UN.
To those who value the Constitution, Trump is our last chance.
The esteemed professor used the Hitler argument ...so he has already lost the contest of ideas.
Note to high school graduates looking to major in History - don’t choose Yale; you’ll be wasting someone’s money.
Far as I can see it then is also now.
Notice how Venezuela has all but fallen off the news radar. You may find something about it way down on the bottom of one of the British news outlets, but our media is absolutely silent on Venezuela, which is imploding as I type this. Why, because Maduro/Chavez did/are doing exactly what this retard says Trump will do, but they get a pass because they are the annointed angels of marxism, delivering people from things like food. This dipshit professor should jump off the faculty lounge roof.
