Joseph Epstein: Leave ‘the American People’ Alone – Wall Street Journal*

image Politicians who glibly cite the true wishes of “the American people” as the motive for their actions are also simultaneously congratulating themselves for their insight. I think of four Illinois politicians nearest, though far from dearest, to me: Tammy Duckworth, Dick Durbin, Jan Schakowsky and J.B. Pritzker. A smarmy plea for unity rings especially false at a time when the country is so deeply divided.
