“We don’t have an anger problem in American politics,” said then-President of AEI Arthur Brooks in a viral video clip from 2017. “We have a contempt problem in American politics.” Unfortunately, much of that contempt is presently directed by political elites to those whom they have promised to serve.
“I will now be an American president. I will work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as those who did,” President-elect Joe Biden pledged the day the media proclaimed that he had won the 2020 election. Yet in the ensuing months, the president and major figures within his administration have laughed, chuckled, and sarcastically minimized the suffering of American citizens — suffering often caused by the foreseeable consequences of their policies.
