Obama’s Incrementalism is exactly why the white working class turned against the Democrats in 2016, why the Christ the Democrat leadership seem to think more of Obama’s Incrementalism will win those white working classes back isn’t explainable.
Trump shows us he will utilise hatred and resentment for personal advantage in a way that makes micro aggression policing look like the alienating middle class fad it is.
The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa is calling on the New Zealand government to reject outright the US’s so-called “deal of the century” which claims to bring peace to the Middle East.
More than any other Political President before him, Donald Trump has understood, harnessed and manipulated cultural political resentment in a manner that has tapped into deep seated economic anxieties caused by free market globalisation.
Trump just made the world far more dangerous.
The White House ceremony (it would be wrong to call it a press conference) in which the President gracelessly accepted the Iranian Government’s de-escalation of the international crisis which he, himself, had unleashed by authorising Soleimani’s assassination, was a vivid illustration of the new reality in world affairs.
That’s right, this entire murderous extrajudicial fiasco was caused by a failed Jedi mind trick the Military establishment use to direct the President’s actions.
If the threshold for extrajudicial assassination by drone strike is the loss of American life, then when is Trump declaring war on the pharmaceutical industry who pimp opioids, the fast food junkies who clog arteries & the polluters warming the planet?
The Trump Impeachment is a sad and torturous affair made more petty by Republican tribalism and Democratic impotence.
