The A.V. Club interview with Thomas Frank

quote [ Look, Trump may screw up. Trump may get impeached, Trump is a fool. Trump-ism, is here to stay. This idea of populist nationalism. ]

Good interview, turned it on last night and couldn't turn it off. Whether you like the book or not, his arguments are still apt.

Oh, its absolutely tough love.

If you you want me to play oracle, one of the reasons I included Nixonland in the neoliberal reading list was for people to get a better feel of the hurdles the Civil Rights movement was facing and what we should expect to see as the economic downtrodden find themselves pushed further back into the corner. Things are likely to get far worse before they get better. Because then you've got all the hurdles PostCapoitalism covers... I really cannot emphasis enough the shithow that we are in midst of right now. And how bad things are likely to get for a whole lot of people.
