Polemical Posturing

Unless I have been culture-canceled and not yet notified, I believe I am part of this nation, so PAW’s waving the “nation’s resistance” banner over a disgruntled dozen strikes me — while granting that Mr. Trump is a flawed vessel for holding the spirit of a constitutional republic — as a bit of polemical posturing. But if the article is to be part of a series, I look forward to a forthcoming installment highlighting Princetonians who toiled among the resistance to the late Biden administration’s gleeful disregard of immigration law, strident embrace of authoritarian measures under color of COVID precautionism, boastful refusal to observe judicial rulings that it lacked authority to “cancel” student debt, incompetent termination of the country’s Afghanistan adventure, last-minute abuse of the pardon power to shield family members and hangers-on from prosecutions, and turning federal law-enforcement agencies into a weapon of partisan politics. Does Princeton aspire to become another Columbia-style citadel of woke sensibilities?
