Dissident Muse Journal Endorses Lily Tang Williams
Her opponent is a cynical creature of the Beltway. Lily embodies what it means to be an American.
Lily Tang Williams, a candidate seeking to represent New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District, embodies the American Dream in its purest form. Born to illiterate parents in Sichuan Province, she grew up in the poverty, privation, and dictatorial chaos of China under Mao. Through enormous perseverance, she graduated from Fudan University Law School in Shanghai and later joined its faculty. She came to the United States with $100 in her pocket and $1200 in debt to an American sponsor. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Administration and Planning from the School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin, she worked as an executive in Hong Kong and US corporations before going into business for herself. She is now a successful entrepreneur and investor with a beautiful family in Weare, New Hampshire. She was moved to run for Congress because, as she put it, “I grew up under Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China and fled communism for the freedom of the United States. Now, I fear the country I love is becoming the country I left.” She is an unflappable defender of the freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the rule of law, and she truly loves America.
Her opponent is Maggie Goodlander. Goodlander has deep ties to Washington through her previous employment in the Biden administration Department of Justice. There she served as Counsel to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is the target of well-founded criticisms that the Biden administration is using the department to retaliate against its enemies. She has enormous financial backing from political donors outside of New Hampshire. She is married to Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to President Joe Biden, which indicates her proximity to Democrat Party political machinery and Democrat Party warmongering. Despite presenting herself as a renter (“there should be more renters in Congress,” she told the Boston Globe) in Nashua, which is in district NH2, she is a million-dollar homeowner in Portsmouth, which is not. Her real estate portfolio runs into the tens of millions of dollars and includes a golf course in Florida. Her family enriched itself at the public trough. She has no evident familiarity with the lives of ordinary people in New Hampshire.
The two debated each other this week. As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. posted on X, “Watch this candidate perform a live vivisection on Neocon chief Jake Sullivan’s wife.” Lily’s Mandarin-inflected evisceration of Goodlander made national news.
Lily doesn’t always express herself fluidly, but her work as an entrepreneur and her dedication to family and American principles speak for themselves. Goodlander, in contrast, exemplifies the autocracy, managerial sclerosis, detached elitism, parasitism, and empty rhetoric of the political class that is debilitating the country. Dissident Muse Journal hopes that you’ll support Lily Tang Williams for Congress. At base, it is a simple choice in favor of authenticity over calculation.

So Goodlander is just a little old renter, is she? She must think we're still in a time when FDR could hide he was an invalid, or that her audience is composed of morons (though no doubt some are).
