So, Brad. Pretty scary. . . but also accurate. You are the first, at least in my experience, to sound an alarm about the Post-modern Right, which I never worried about until you mentioned it somewhere else. I will turn 80 soon and am tempted to be past caring. I was a practicing lawyer for 40 years, almost all of which I spent in the Courthouse arguing with stupid people, fighting without cease for one thing or another, but I can say, immodestly, that I kept my eye on the ball, never forgot that Truth is always the most effective weapon, stuck to principles we seem to share and left feeling clean and that my career was all of a piece and worth something. Now, I am reduced to the status of bystander, seemingly without power to make anything happen, so I give money to people who, in my estimation, may. I appreciate your analysis of the so-called Deep State and would like to hear more about why the Left is so much more effective at getting results than the Better Angels.

Sounds like you have the subject matter for your next book! I would love to read more on each domain of the deep state. Not because I have any doubts about your thesis but because it needs to be written and shared with open minded readers. Thank you as always for your important work.

P.S. Your thesis makes me think of Dr. Peikoff’s book: The Ominous Parallels.
