It’s always an admonishment for Dems to move to the center (further right) at the same time Republicans have moved to the fascist right. And yet, the countries with the highest quality of life are definitely left leaning social democracies. So basically we are advised to give up our hopes for making life less of a daily grind, here in the U.S., and just give in to a brutal version of unrestrained, unregulated nationalistic capitalism. Our future looks very bleak.

A thousand times no. The assumption that Trumpism is some sort of far right conservative philosophy could not be more wrong. Some of the people most opposed to Trumpism are those conservative intellectuals.

Look on the bright side. If we get Trump back in power, perhaps America can become #LittleRussia.
