My issue with Trump is that he was a coward. The only good thing is that he slipped out truths here and there.
He kept pretending like he was fighting the deep state but did it's bidding:
-operation warp speed con-vid shots which he still supports
-he didn't give rfk Jr access to vaccine safety datalink, stringing him out and later claiming Bill Gates convinced him (really, moron? You're gonna go by the words of a guy that doesn't even work in the field? Bullshit lie)
-he wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan but somehow he couldn't... Meanwhile Biden was allowed to? If the president has no power to do this-as things are corrupt, stop saying you can do it!
Trump gives us an illusion that the president can change things and is not a puppet.
The truth he should be stating is that the deep state really runs the show, not that "oops" bullshit he played. He's not as bullshit as Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, but he's still a phony.
Fascinating! In twelve months we shall know just how resilient the shaken are. I think that the foundations of those four pillars go very deep and are probably too resilient for one shaker, who is no Samson, to bring the cathedral down. Nevertheless, I sense the cathedral's broader congregation has felt the influence of the shaker and the choices of hymns may be changing to reflect this...
What is Trump is the ultimate manifestation of the so called cathedral. The in-your-face personification of the almost complete (and continuing) disintegration of American culture, or what remains of it.
Do you really think that the collective "culture" dramatized by the MAGA movement to be the template for any kind of cultural renewal.
It seems to me that the spectre of fascism is haunting America!
Speaking of Reich me-thinks that you read two books by Wilhelm Reich titled The Mass Psychology of Fascism, and Listen Little Man.
Plus three books by Sharlett titled The Family The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power
C Street The Fundamentalist Threat To America,
The Undertow Scenes From a Slow Civil War
And the book by Chris Hedges titled American Fascists The Religious Right and Its War Against America
Well, I've read those Reich books but not the others you mention. My point is not so much about the type of change but rather change itself. The existing system has visibly failed to change fast enough to meet the needs and interests of its citizens. It's antiquated and heavily invested in keeping things too much the same.
Now, change is scary. We don't know what will happen. We lack a sense of knowing, a sense of control. This to me is the honest truth. Maybe things will veer wildly out of control. Maybe WW3 will start. It may anyway. But it does feel like there's a call for a sense of alertness and trust and to accept that change is coming.

Yeah, I also don't see the whole intellectual establishment of the US completely crumbling either. Which is no doubt a good thing.
