Be Grateful Trump Broke the Overton Window

On the eve of the first anniversary President Trump’s Inauguration, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said something remarkable. It points to why many of us are Trump enthusiasts even if the president does sometimes make us cringe. Defending religious freedom and diversity, McCarthy nonetheless took on the cultural Left’s ubiquitous cliché that “diversity is our strength”: “We did not survive, grow, and become the most powerful civilization in human history because we were focused on our diversity,” he cautioned. “It is not our differences that make us stronger. It is our unity despite our diversity–unity of past, of principles, and of purpose that brought us out of many into one.” Watch it here.

The statement by itself is really not remarkable. Indeed, up until just yesterday in our political life, it was something of a cliché itself—accepted across the political spectrum. And though Leftists surely would have it otherwise, its Latin shorthand, “e pluribus unum” (“out of many, one”), hasn’t yet been replaced by that mindless refrain of “diversity is our strength” on our coins.
