The Dim Age

The last 100 years the promise of America was dimmed by dumb bureaucrats and a weak Congress

At the beginning of the 1920s America began its descent into the Dim Age: a special time in US history where lawmakers gave away their power to bureaucrats while socializing the economy.

Since then most aspects of life in the US have become substantially worse.

Millions abandoned churches to instead worship trees, celebrities, or politicians.  

The energy industry has largely given up on itself due to white guilt about concerns of capitalists destroying the planet for entitled liberal children.

Most art has become socialist propaganda to further demoralize, and hence destroy, the middle class.

Only breakthroughs and rediscoveries in engineering, economics, and politics redeemed this dim time.

In economics great Austrian thinkers were able to best articulate the importance of a decentralized economy powered by open markets and competitive price signals.

In engineering Americans created a seemingly unlimited number of perennially useful devices and technologies like the internet, cars, airplanes, and the smartphone.

In politics philosophers rediscovered the glory of the middle class and our republic, putting to rest the mistaken belief that America is a democracy whose sole purpose is to serve the materially and spiritually poor.

Certainly in the last 100 years great things were done in America.

In fact each and every great American achievement in this dim time was a direct repudiation of the directionless left wing politics that has made our nation so much worse.

And someday even Democrats will see the light of the incoming republican Renaissance and finally, rejoice.
