“But the thing is — and this will be revealed when the transcripts of those roundtables become available for public consumption in 2022 — it was all just talk. Historically fascinating, but ultimately pointless. Most of what Obama cautioned, heralded, and recommended is now meaningless. Just about all of it has been overturned, nullified, or just simply erased by Trump. Talk, as they say, is cheap. The advocacy media loves talk. That’s one reason why they loved Obama. The loved his eloquence and his intelligence. But there is more to a successful president than talk — a successful president must execute. It’s not the talkative branch, it’s the executive branch. As an executive who executes, Donald Trump knows this. He declares a goal, works ferociously to achieve it, withstands the criticism of his opponents, and backs up his talk with an accomplishment – all of which is mocked, fact-checked, and ridiculed by the advocacy media. Frankly, Trump was elected president partly because he’s gutsy enough to call out the media for their excessively critical fake news.”

“Central power is a snowball that picks up snow as it rolls downhill. It will get bigger and bigger, and it will move faster and faster. In a few years there will be no one able to stop it.” “Why do the people stand for it?” Cathy asked. “The social contract in Russia is very simple. The population is willing to give up liberty and turn a blind eye to government corruption in exchange for security and prosperity. This worked as long as there was security and prosperity, but it is failing now.”

“The Great Questions of Life were things he didn’t much think about. For the most part, life in the Soviet Union was limited to yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The economic facts of life really didn’t allow a person to make long-term plans. There were no country houses to buy, no luxury cars to desire, no elaborate vacations to save for. In committing what it called socialism on the people, the government of his country allowed—forced—everyone to aspire to much the same things, regardless of individual tastes, which meant getting on an endless list and being notified when one’s name came up—and being unknowingly bumped by those with greater Party seniority—or not, because some people had access to better places.”
