Listen now | This week, we’ve prepared a conversation for you with the brilliant scholar Gary Gerstle, whose research on what defines the global neoliberal order can also help us understand what might bring that order to a close. We’re sharing this conversation on the heels of the news that Manchin, who’s made no secret of his opposition to Biden’s most meager proposals for social welfare, will
PUT THIS INTERVIEW ON BREAKING POINTS YOUTUBE! People need to hear this. this is an absolutely fascinating interview, it really puts the potential for global realignment in a way I've never thought of before but honestly seems entirely plausible and likely.
Gary seeing Trump as a ethno nationalist (rascist) authoritarian (fascist) because "make america great again" is interpreting the message wrong, just like so many others do. Get out of that echo chamber, Trump is America/ Americans first, in every aspect, period. Minorities in America see them selfs as Americans and see Trump putting their interest first or not, not racist fascism. Every American should see this message as it is, look at how Trump governed and decide if he is living up to that message or not. Throwing racism from a globalist perspective at Trump is dishonest and being dishonest is what is causing the disorder on the left. The baseless attack does not hit as hard as sticking to policy like Kyle did while interviewing JP, about the mass exportation of jobs (neo liberalism) and the tax cuts mostly for the wealthy (more neo liberalism). Its amazing how someone can see 40 year life cycles of political orders, think the current one is dying, and see the two new possible political orders forming, yet be so far off when it comes to a political outsider. Trumps political order is just neo liberal order 2.0, he won't be around forever and it will return to progressive/ conservative struggle distracting from what the neo liberals are doing with the wealth inequality. Maybe I misinterpreted his examples of how neo liberalism is failing from this short interview. It just seemed very black pilled on the precieved direction America is heading. I probably have to read his book to understand further.
Sorry but Gary is absolutely correct in seeing Trump as a "a ethno nationalist (rascist) authoritarian (fascist)." Trump's MAGA is also about a return to the old order, a white patriarchy in which the only "true Americans" were white and the few selected nonwhites that serve his purposes.
You can interperet it in that way and add on the racism, but in 2019, when Trump started to use "keep america great".... That narrative that he is working to take us back to a white patriarchy becomes inconsistent. You can also keep going along with the narrative tring to tie Trump to the planner/ leader of the J6 coup attempt to paint him as authoritarian. There are so many valid reasons to not like Trump, you don't have to use your imagination or continue to listen to false narratives that go nowhere. Biden got elected not because people wanted him as he "allied" with Bernie, but from votes against Trump. The highly charged negative emotions around this make the country more divided than ever, with increasing violence and surveys to show proof for this. For liberal policys Biden is better than Trump, but when Trumps negatives and Bidens positives are exaggerated, Both should be called out for what they really are, and that is lying.
You can continue to be in denial on whether Trump is an authoritarian or racist. However, many have already come to their conclusions based on Trump's words and action., including over 80% of Black Americans (some who voted for Trump) who believe Trump is a racist. I didn't even need the Trump presidency to judge Trump as a racist and authoritarian. I came to those conclusions through the way he runs the Trump organization, his role in the Central Park 5 case, and the Obama birther movement. It was no accident that Trump's cabinet was dominated by white men, particularly at the highest and most prominent positions. And if you ever listened to the people who had the unfortunate experience of working with Trump, the common theme is their primary duty was to keep Trump happy and feed his enormous ego.
You can keep focusing on it like it's truth and matters at all, but you will continue to get these do nothing, reactionary, weak politicians like Joe Biden. Mean while progressive policies that might actually help people are not fought for and let to go up in smoke, while conservative actions by the supreme court are allowed to happen. Everyone has known it was going to happen for a year and a half, and will continue to as long as Biden does light reactionary interference and doesn't take strong preemptive actions to stop it.
Truth does matter. Never said that Biden was good for the progressive movement. If you're implying that Trump, an ethno nationalist and racist authoritarian fascist, is a progressive ally, you're just fooling yourself. Recent supreme court actions were made possible by Trump appointees.
So you don't really mean Gary is absolutely correct, but you also don't see the point I'm making when it comes to people exaggerating things to a blinding degree, pun not intended. I point out Trump is not a racist, also Biden is not Bernie's ally, and you only care about the Trump thing. It works both ways I guess, the reverse is Gary is saying Biden is ally's with Bernie, and Trump is a racist. Some how from that you think I'm saying Trump is a progressive ally... Keep up or this conversation is going no where. You think I support Trump because I don't want to make up and believe lies about him, now you're lying about me.
