By the lambert stretcher of Corrente.
Thomas Frank Wrecker It was published in 2008. It deals with the ideology and practicality of memo conservatism after power, especially the younger Bush, which ends at the beginning of the Obama era, to the more “carelessness”. Because I arrived in Frank Train with 2016, Listen, liberalism!I didn’t read it until I got a bright idea of writing this post.
The reviews at that time were favorable, but they did not add much value to the book itself, and I would like to see several pages. The two caught my eyes. The first is Interview with PBS’s Great Bill Moyers. Frank puts a paper in it wreck In the postcard:
You need multiple pages (rivetting pages) to describe the “fantastic wrong government”. Keep the essence for a bumper sticker or t -shirt.
[FRANK:] .
Or: cynicism leads to corruption that produces cynicism.
Or: Import regulatory agencies before the system destroys itself.
(Moyers’ “RIVETING” is not a “coruscating” and “corrosion” but a fair. Frank is truly a truly ticking all the right things, but did not lose control of his registers.) However, it was a problem in 2008. really Are you bad as Frank says? Michael Lind caution :
Missing the “Line Crew” is a recognition of being considered as good news from the leftist perspective. The defeat of the opposition government in most major policy battles, from social security privatization to private school vouchers. President Bush’s social security plan was not so popular that he had not gained the right to vote from the Republican Parliament, which was enacted as the greatest increase in the government’s participation in medical prescription drugs and the government’s participation in the medical industry. The United States since the creation of Medicare. You can’t overthrow the big government, but even if you control all three branches, your rights have been limited to tinker.
Indeed, it can be argued that the defeat of the liberal revolution has made a different view of the plans of Frank’s villains. I am a conservative fire brigade… . They settled to enrich themselves exactly because they could not abolish the new deal.
Pay attention to stabs of the tail.
But the “shipwriter crew” is a debate, not a paper.
False dichotomy. Frank has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago. wreck It is a great example of a popular audience, but it is an excellent example of the craft of the history. But as about LIND’s “good news,” Adam Smith, all single organizations listed by LIND gradually withered with conservative attacks.
The “review” of the headline is a little misunderstanding. Frank writes the history of the times, but my purpose is not to evaluate his papers or adjust the timeline. Rather, I will present a series of extracts. wreck -After the most prominent part is emphasized, compare it with the current event of the Trump 2.0 administration as well as it is. I think you will have a lot of familiar things in mind! As my headline said, the purpose is to show what we’ve been here before.
Epigraph, page vi:
Familiar sound? This is Trump’s Gish Gallop. For example, 100 administrative orders that did not appear on the first day were released, but in 1933, the meaning of “public despair” was designed to originate.
Page 93:
It is a perfect example to quarrel with a dog thrown by the buses under the bus on the first day of the Trump administration. (IMNSHO knows much better than the Liberal Democratic Party thinks and responds to “eternal frustration” is an open question at this point.)
41:
Obviously, Doge is an operation of the “wrecked crew” (more capacity and Panazi are performed than the conservative of Delay’s Day). But we can remind us that the Republican Party, like the Maga and Doge today, was invincible today, but it was a mistake (ideologically led). (I don’t praise Clinton here. It’s a long time in politics to say a few months.)
The frank below shows conservative self -awareness as “outsiders” and “alternate fantasy”.
You only need to read the X posts of Trump and supporters. My words, in a sense -well, I can think of a few things, but you know what I mean -Is the billionaire Peter Thiel a “outsiders”? And on the line to a local gentleman like a car dealer.
In addition to “hostile fantasy”, conservatism is a machine that makes money.
Today, in addition to general organizations, “conservative industries” take the Gargantuan form of Elon Musk X. At the same time, MUSH serves as a co -chairman, orders public officials, and sells various projects. (Sometimes STARLINK and SPACEX are also involved in public policy issues that provide direct benefits as brands).
Page 115, “Employees are Policy”:
Musk explicitly urged it One effect of “fork on the road” email It is to leave the government from the government to a more productive private sector that is the same as Reagan and Blackwell. And Doge adopts the Leninist paradigm, which is exploited by Stalin, advocated by BLACKWELL by capturing the control of the HR office and establishing a party structure similar to the government.
117, strengthening the point above:
Page 138:
OEO = Usaid, and Doges have touched any other (so far, defense and spooks have been exempted).
Page 221:
“The end is a real alternative to use it to capture the state and destroy liberalism.” Trump’s administrative order seems to be summarized as a sentence.
Page 223:
of lecture Trump and Musk will attack social security. Profit is too big for them. But that does not mean they will succeed.
244 pages:
This book ends as a conservative dream collapses after a financial conflict in 2008. Frank wrote: “It is a job to collect civilization again. [conservatives] I left for the rest of the people. ” And we elected Obama. So go.
Through the history of conservatism, this very superficial canter’s purpose (not Frank’s book, not the book of Frank) is to remind the reader the “what we have been here before.” That reader No ~ 2003- 2006 Blogging allows Trump to find new or innovative things. But as I read Frank, there is almost no everything about Trumpism (at least domestic policy), which suggests that I am not inevitable or preemptive to a good or illness. Some people can reconsider it.
Reading the detailed retiring of Frank’s scandals and battle seems to be at least three differently from previous conservative differentiation (Reagan, Bush, and younger Bush). Musk in governance); (2) Doge wild characteristics (administrative commands, Bolshevik style captures, dismissal of the Bolshevik style of the OPM and the Treasury Payment Service); (3) In relation to the law and precedent, it is better to seek forgiveness than permission (as the entire Nixon administration is run by Howard Philips). These characteristics are especially open to the administration that operates thin margins (houses, the Senate, Pauling), especially everywhere.
I rebounded Trumpism. For me, the value of Trumpism is a reaction to the reaction. So far, the Democratic leadership has reacted and reversed it until it was waiting for the middle to wait until the middle of the time. . Then they ran back to the winner Kamala or mature and almostgravitation-Possess Pete.
The Democratic leadership’s response to Trump’s 30 -day 4th day seemed to be insufficient for PMC loyalty, which was naturally interested in more urgent problems than in the middle. job There is a crisis (with home, with the violin lessons of Little Madison, not to mention everything. The karma for the rust belt Their capital, economic, social, symbolic). Whether their request for reactions now Create a space for new leadership now This is an open question (although the Democratic Party desperately requires new leadership and has no doubt to the level of zone). Of course, another reaction can occur. The ability to solve the problem of class/ownership that the existing parties cannot deal with will be interesting if the union can go up, especially the formation of the Labor Party in 1854. (Virtual?) General strikes from 2028 to previous. The future is ahead!
