Welcome to the Rustbeltpolitics blog!

The Rustbeltpolitics blog offers occasional commentary on the culture of politics, media, and American society.

Hopefully we will point out interesting ideas and questions that you won't hear elsewhere.

Unfortunately, much modern progressive discourse is either a vapid litany of policy proposals, or an effort to analyze and deconstruct institutions without offering realistic alternatives or constructive solutions. Here we seek reconstruction.

We will travel from the Rust Belt to the Bible Belt, from the Beltway to the Liberal Bubbles. We ride the rails on the Northeast Corridor, peering out at the shells of factories where dedicated people spent lifetimes to bring home the bacon. We ride through the disappearing country side cum suburbs, and admire the sad beauty of crumbling barns and farm buildings.
