Charles Murray, 2018:
> But the fact is that in my own life, the federal government plays hardly any negative role at all. Neither Donald Trump nor Barack Obama has done anything that has gotten in my way. De facto, life is still pretty good for a lot of Americans. We still have the freedom to live life as we see fit.
Charles Murray, 2015:
> American freedom is being gutted. Whether we are trying to run a business, practice a vocation, raise our families, cooperate with our neighbors, or follow our religious beliefs, we run afoul of the government—not because we are doing anything wrong but because the government has decided it knows better. When we object, that government can and does tell us, “Try to fight this, and we’ll ruin you.”
I am curious if Charles Murray expressed these blasé sentiments about the federal government even once during the span of 2008-2016. (Please do not rush to inform me Charles Murray is a NeverTrump. I'm aware. That doesn't make him non-partisan.)
pie in the sky? maybe, but a beautiful and uplifting lecture nonetheless. i highly recommend listening to the whole thing. i hope there are some legs to the idea.
