Episode 203: The Delusions That Destroy Liberty: Insights From Trenchard and Gordon
In this thought-provoking episode of "And If Love Remains", hosts Mike Leavitt and Joe Wolverton dive deep into the timeless wisdom found in Cato's Letter No. 19, written by Thomas Gordon in 1721. The letter discusses the powerful influence of popular affection and antipathy towards particular men, and how this shapes politics and government.
Mike and Joe engage in a lively discussion, drawing fascinating parallels between the stately tyrants described in the letter and modern day political leaders. They explore how the delusions and imaginations of the masses are exploited, leading to a deluded populace cheerfully submitting to tyranny - as long as it's perpetrated by "their guy".
The hosts argue persuasively that the signs described in the letter - leaders aggrandizing themselves while mocking and impoverishing the people - are clear evidence that liberty is not truly established in America today. They issue a rallying cry to break free from partisan delusions, pursue real education and virtue, and follow in the footsteps of the founding fathers who boldly stood against tyranny.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of freedom and politics in modern America. Mike and Joe's witty rapport and incisive analysis cast new light on centuries-old wisdom, making it startlingly relevant to our times.
