quote [ "Donald Trump is a post-democratic leader. The liberal democratic model?of which Obama was the last president?is completely dead." ]
I've seen a lot of hand-wringing about what it all means, what it's all about, and what we should learn from the Trump election (if anything at all). This interview with Italian legal scholar Ugo Mattei is perhaps the most insightful and thought-provoking (if depressing) of the many, many essays I've read discussing the election and its aftermath.

"Unger identifies himself as a “man of the left” but he also views Trump as the “lesser evil” in this election. He believes that the hypocrisies exposed by Trump’s election will reveal the fundamental weakness of political parties in the U.S. Now, he says, progressives will be forced to return to higher goals: they can no longer be satisfied by minor amendments and material redistribution. Instead, if Trump promises to “Make America Great Again”, the resistance must make an even grander promise: “Make Humans Great Again”. The political project in the U.S. must work towards what he calls “the divinization of humanity.”
This is the dumb shit that have been hearing from he greens...it naive at best. This election will push back the progressive cause to the Hover era. That is pre FDR and will all but end the New Deal.
Trump set to reshape judiciary after GOP blockade
The Senate left town with 99 judicial vacancies, as well as the current Supreme Court opening.
This is what Trump America looked like this is what again looks like.
Coal workers in the United States when we had a small federal government, no EPA, no unions, and no regulation.
