The Myth of a Rightward Realignment
Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election that are obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment of the established order.

If and when Trump leaves the scene, the country will still face a daunting task: Who can channel the disruptive political energies of a society in which the established institutions have lost the people’s trust into a (small-d) democratic direction?

In this piece, I tackle three myths / building blocks of the misleading “realignment” narrative: The idea that U.S. society moved right in accordance with the broader outlines of Trumpism’s vision; that Trump is the tribune of the working class; that he is building a stable multiracial coalition.

It was only a failure if you assume they ever had good intentions. If you assume they intended to destroy the federal government from within, they succeeded.
We’ll be dealing with the results of this monumental breach of the federal government for many years to come.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier.
But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.
Be warned.

Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.
He wants to use your money to make the military-industrial complex even richer.

Sure he may be handing out pardons if people give him enough money, shilling his own cryptocurrency, still own his golf courses and hotels he throws events at, and generally enriching himself and everyone in his administration, but that doesn’t mean we can say he’s corrupt.
Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
