NEW YORK POST
— ‘Ascendant America’ no longer seems a sure bet – Michael Barone (DIERSEN: I
should write a book about those who ever-increasingly dump those who are Trump
supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White,
male, older, non-poor, gun owners, German American, and those whose ancestors
have been in America for a long time. I would focus on those in Wheaton, in
Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have lots
of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who paint
themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)
https://nypost.com/2020/01/03/ascendant-america-no-longer-seems-a-sure-bet/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: From
the first years of the one-fifth of this century already completed, we’ve been
told that a new, ascendant America — more nonwhite, more culturally liberal,
more feminist — was going to dominate our politics for years to come. Those
predictions have partially come true. Barack Obama was elected and reelected president
in 2008 and 2012, respectively, and Democrats won majorities in House contests
in 2006, 2008 and 2018. But those are slimmer pickings than promised. And
President Trump’s victory in 2016 has made a mockery of the predictions. He
wasn’t ascendant America’s choice. From millennials and Generation Z, he evokes
the response, “OK, boomer.” Demographics, it turns out, don’t automatically
turn into destiny. Ascendant groups’ triumphalism can coalesce those with
opposite values into unaccustomed unity and enthusiasm. Ascendant leaders, not
cautioned by sympathetic media, can concoct extreme policies unsellable to most
voters. And perhaps ascendant groups, with their low birth rates, may not
become as ascendant as demographers expected. That’s a conclusion you might
draw from the Census Bureau’s state population estimates for midyear 2019,
released just one day before the year-end deadline. They’re the best leading
indicator we’ve got for the 2020 census, whose results will reapportion the
House of Representatives and the Electoral College.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL:
What your May 2020 local ballot will look like will begin taking shape next
week. What if your name were on it? Local schools, towns and cities are all
governed by boards you elect. The members of those boards are not that
different from you — they live where you live and may well run into you at work
or in the grocery store aisles. What put them on the city council or school
board was that they care about the future of your community. If you share that
interest, maybe it’s your turn to seek local office. We often use this
editorial space to encourage residents of Cooke County to get involved in our
area’s civic life, whether that be in the local schools, city elections or the
county at large. Seeking elected office is just another way you can help
fulfill your civic duties as an American. But research shows just 2% of
Americans have ever run for public office at any level. So let’s change that.
Most municipal and school boards have pretty simple qualifications for who can
run, and they don’t require a lot of formal training or connections. They boil
down to four things: — Live in Texas for at least a year before the filing
deadline — Live in the town or city ward or school district for at least six
months before the filing deadline — Be at least 18 years old — Be a registered
voter In other words, you don’t have to know everything or be wealthy to run
for office. Just be willing to accept help and learn as you go. If you’re
already happy with how your local government is being managed, there might
still be reason for you to seek a seat on the school board or municipal
council. One, the folks on your local board can’t fill the office forever. You
might be surprised at how difficult it can be for board members to find someone
to take their place when they are ready to pass the baton. They may be praying
for someone like you to turn up — ask them and see. Two, first-time candidates
rarely achieve the office they seek, for a variety of reasons. Inexperience
with running a campaign for local office is just one of those reasons, but it’s
one you can head off now. At the very least, attend a few board meetings and
talk to your current elected officials about what they do and how they got
elected. By the way, volunteering on the board of a local nonprofit or church
is another way to gain experience that would prepare you for elected office,
and such organizations are almost always looking for new hands on deck. Consider
stepping up as a board member at an organization whose mission you care about.
Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be reporting the specific filing
requirements and deadlines for local governing bodies with positions up for
election this year. Keep an eye out for the ones that interest you and consider
whether your name ought to be the next one on the ballot.)
