ROGER SIMON: I’m Ready to be Reeducated, Mr. Reich.

Which brings me to my qualifications for Mr. Reich?s?let?s be blunt without being sneering?reeducation program.

To begin with, I have been a Trump supporter in the elections of 2016 and 2020, and far from a ?shy? one. While not much of a media mogul in the fat cat sense (alas), and therefore at best a medium-sized enabler of what he calls a ?catastrophe,? I have written what must now be several hundred essays in support of the president, before and after his election, for PJ Media (which I cofounded), The Epoch Times, Real Clear Politics, City Journal, The New York Times (once) and the New York Post, among others. I have also appeared on television and radio, multiple times with a similar viewpoint.

None of this, admittedly, makes me especially qualified to be that guinea pig for Mr. Reich?s commission?many have done the same. Nonetheless, I stand for the job.

What makes me qualified was that years ago (1979), when I identified with the left, I was invited with about a dozen others on an ?activist?s tour? of the People?s Republic of China.

I know about reeducation camps, because I have seen one.

Leftism always winds up with the camps in the end.
