One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Trump actions and the MAGA movement don’t always go hand in hand though. We’re seeing that everyday as his supporters are being left out to dry on some issues and as he struggles to try and do others.While the platforms might be slightly different MAGA or should I say trump is much close to your typical neoliberal than he is a populist, the MAGA base populism is just using the American Racial Hierarchy to steal money and give it to billionaires and Israel, there’s a reason the democrats are not doing much to stop this, because they Both serve the same people. The middle class has been getting gutted and Biden led the most massive transfer of wealth to the billionaires ever.
Neoliberal republicans understand the importance of undocumented workers to do the shyt work. MAGA wants them all out.
Neoliberal conservatives are financially sound and worried about the stock market, MAGA is worried about gas and food prices. Neoliberal conservatives know taxes are stupid, but MAGA thinks they are punitive on other countries. Neolibera conservatives realizes a long time ago that they can make money with black people even if they don’t socialize with them. MAGA is literally trying to get black people fired from jobs they can’t replace them in.
The two are not the same, if a neoliberal republican was elected we probably wouldn’t be teetering on an economic crash while planes fall out of the sky. It would be business as usual with the democrats being there as staged opposition. MAGA are so disruptive, democrats are actually being forced to leave the halls of Congress and argue with a security guard and fail to move him because that would require real fighting.
There are legit progressives in the Democratic Party too but they are ostracized to being at best thought leaders.
There main difference between conservatives populism and liberal populism is the head figure Trump was willing to burn the party down to get leadership and Bernie tried twice to win through the system that was designed to keep his type of politician out of power.
Don’t even get me started on how Citizen United allowed billionaires to usurp the conservatives populist movement to the literal point Elon fukking Musk is firing government employees and downloading everyone social security numbers.
It’s all very absurd and surreal and the only way it gets fixed is we see a constitutional crisis around removing Citizen United in four years (if the democrats win the presidency) or the progressives in the party split into their own party knowing they will do the heavy lifting in four years to get the voting public interested in a neoliberal democrat by giving their endorsement.
Honestly it might take both actions happening in reverse order. The progressives form their own party, they endorse a mainstream Dem who agrees ton enact their policies, and then that same Dem either goes at citizen United directly or makes edits to the SC to get a court that would make that change.
