Excerpts:
As I noted in my Orange County Register column last week, too many Republicans are channeling their inner Bernie Sanders. U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is proposing a variety of new regulations.

Conservative writer Sohrab Ahmari, who runs a new populist website with a fellow religious conservative and a leftist, has published a new book complaining about “the domination of working- and middle-class people by the owners of capital, the asset-less by the asset-rich.” Ahmari and others on the right have basically given up on the concept of liberal democracy. Frustration at “woke” companies is driving the movement.
