A 'second gilded age'? Maybe, but only because recycling ideas is an academic genre

Darn those class commitments, aligning us to our political choices in a democracy, made worse by all those folks who knew they were in that Gilded Age. “If the future of the Democratic Party is in the rich suburbs, the future of American politics is another long Gilded Age.” Matt...

clear and present danger: Trumpists not swept up by 1/6

There’s a sizable population of Trumpists at large, some of whom would be willing to kill members of Congress. Fortunately the cosplay of Designated Survivor requires much larger capital resources and smarter members of the GOP/GQP. “…they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible...

If you crave Trumpian election fraud lies, CPAC 2021 is your one-stop shop

For a brief interval following the Jan. 6 insurrection-palooza, I thought the conscience of our nation—and, by extension, that of the Republican Party—might finally be shocked into dropping the grotesquely irresponsible “this election was stolen from Donald Trump” canard. I mean, people died as a direct result of this lie,...

Will Texas electric grid catastrophe end post-Reagan failed economics? I don't like Krugman's answer

Will Texas catastrophe end Post Reagan deregulation era?
