* The author argues that the "expert class" has failed in recent years, citing examples such as the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, the financial crisis, Brexit, the pandemic, and massive inflation. * The author believes that the public has lost trust in the expert class, particularly in institutions of higher education, due to issues like "wokeness" and sloppy scientific research practices. * The 2024 presidential election was seen as a middle finger to the expert class, with voters choosing Donald Trump over Joe Biden despite Biden's approval ratings being lower than Trump's. * The author criticizes President Biden's blanket pardon of his son Hunter Biden, calling it a small log on the fire compared to the larger failures of Biden's presidency. * The author argues that the Village (the expert class) needs unsparing critics, and that they should be held accountable for their failures, including the lack of disclosure surrounding Biden's cognitive fitness. * The author suggests that the Democratic Party's failures are due to its own making, including overstimulating the economy, relaxing border controls, and inefficient governance in blue cities and states. * #ExpertClass * #BidenPresidency * #Election2024 * #TrumpVictory * #VillageCritics * #InstitutionalDecline * #Wokeness * #SloppyScience * #PandemicFailures * #Inflation * #EconomicPolicy * #BorderControl * #Governance * #BlueCities * #DemocraticParty * #FailedLeadership https://www.natesilver.net/p/the-expert-class-is-failing-and-so
