![When Vance talked about going after NGOs earlier in the year, Elon Musk had similar words: We defunded or we destroyed U.S.A.I.D. We’ve done a blow to the left. What they believe is that liberal politics, liberalism, social justice politics — all these beliefs — are top-down phenomena of elites that they don’t like. So if you get rid of them, if you go after George Soros, if you go after the Ford Foundation, if you go after U.S.A.I.D., if you go after television comedians, then people will stop believing this stuff. You will then secure your victory because none of this is real. It’s all just top-down.
I happen to think this is a bit of projection about the nature of their political movement — that it is quite top-down. It is funded by, you know, secretive billionaires who can allow someone like Charlie Kirk to work out the kind of performance they’re doing without really having to worry about earning money in any way. There’s this huge infrastructure of money and influence on the political right that does what I think they imagine happens on the political left. And I think the weak point in this strategy is simply that the stuff they hate flows organically up from the bottom. The reason George Floyd became a cause for millions of Americans isn’t because a bunch of liberal elites in television studios were telling people, “You have to care about George Floyd.”
This was an organic reaction of society to something that many people felt was wrong. Their feelings that it was wrong, in turn, are a product of organic changes in society. It’s a product of integration among people. It’s a product of scholars and historians doing their own work, slowly changing our understanding of what American history is. It’s just a product of civil society and democratic life happening spontaneously.
That’s not something you can control from the top down. Successful authoritarians know this.

How To Raise a Reader in an Age of Digital Distraction
People make certain assumptions about you when you’re the CEO of a children’s book company. Some assume I must have spent my childhood summers in a hammock reading Rebecca of Sunnybrook…
