Congratulations, America! 🇺🇸 Keep dismissing concerns about candidates who advocate policies that will subordinate liberal-democratic norms, religious doctrine, revolutionary ideology and ethnic patronage. With your new governing coalition now free to pursue the more expansive proposals associated with its fringe. •Large entitlement expansion without credible long-term financing, increasing deficits, taxes, or inflationary pressure. •Universal benefits and relaxed eligibility rules that raise demand faster than housing, health care, and social-service capacity. •De facto open-ended immigration, including high temporary-resident inflows, without linking admissions to labour-market and infrastructure capacity. •Identity-based institutional preferences that replace equal treatment with group-based allocation or ideological screening. •Restrictions on policing, border enforcement, or immigration enforcement that make government less able to enforce its own laws. •Speech and education policies that treat disagreement as harm or impose ideological conformity. •Foreign-policy concessions to illiberal movements, particularly where candidates excuse political violence, antisemitism, anti-democratic religious movements, or authoritarian governments because they are viewed as aligned with the left. •Local political machines organized around ethnic or religious blocs, which can weaken broad civic coalitions if politicians reward group loyalty over common rules. •Firearm confiscation or sweeping bans: Some politicians and activist groups support policies ranging from universal registration and assault-weapons bans to mandatory buybacks, prohibitions on certain magazines, and, in the most expansive proposals, broad confiscation.
