Better Solutions

A quick word from MacIver CEO Annette Olson on the state of political violence in America, and the solutions we are working on.

Butler, Pennsylvania. Charlie Kirk. Now this:

Another attempted assassination happened this past weekend, this time at the White House Correspondents' dinner.

Thankfully, the Secret Service intervened before the gunman could make it into the room where President Trump was about to give a speech. Since then, we have seen and heard countless examples of hate-filled speech.

There is a segment of people in our society who want to take our system of government in a wildly different direction.

Instead of freedom and opportunity, they believe in victimhood and forced collectivism.

And when those ideas don't get adopted, their rhetoric sometimes turns violent.

This trend cannot continue.

It's not working, Wisconsin, and at MacIver, we demonstrate the failures of the administrative state and propose solutions to help you secure a brighter future.

At the MacIver Institute, we'll always fight bad ideas with better and brighter ones.
