robertogrecoDonald Trump and the rise of tribal epistemology: Journalism cannot be neutral toward a threat to the conditions that make it possible.
One additional point: this mirrors the trend of about 10 years ago when all the mainstream outlets were thinking, "we need to represent the modern right," so they hired a right winger ... only to fire them shortly thereafter because they are vile liars. I can't think of a single counter-example!
That particular trend goes all the way back to when they tried to let Rush Limbaugh host Monday Night Football. (Any of my fellow olds remember that?) It took him like a week to say something so vile & racist that they fired him. But they never stop trying!
Ah, it was the Sunday NFL Countdown. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/stick-to-sports-rush-limbaugh-donovan-mcnabb.html

robertogreco“I have zero right to tell anybody anywhere who lives under occupation and injustice how to resist that occupation and that injustice. There is no acceptable form of resistance in the view of the institutions doing the oppressing. You engage in boycotts, that's economic terrorism. You try to march peacefully, you are shot with the intent to kill and or maimed. You boycott cultural institutions, you are being illiberal. You take up arms, you are a terrorist, and you will be wiped out. All you can do is die. That is your only acceptable form of resistance.”"
...
"I think one of the more difficult parts of this book, and I talked about it a little bit as a sort of self interrogation, I don't think you can write this kind of book and not contend with the many things you are, including some things that I'm not particularly proud of. And one of those interrogations has to do with this notion of how I describe myself. I describe myself as a pacifist, as a fairly committed proponent of nonviolence. But I have the privilege of saying those words in a relative vacuum, a vacuum created by the fact that I live on the launching end of the bombs. I live within the heart of the empire. And so two things come into clarity that I wish hadn't, but being as though they have, I need to address them. The first is my right to tell anybody under a state of occupation how to resist that occupation, which is no right at all. I have zero right to tell anybody anywhere who lives under occupation and injustice how to resist that occupation and that injustice. Particularly when there is no acceptable form of resistance in the view of the institutions doing the oppressing. You engage in boycotts, that's economic terrorism. You try to march peacefully, you are shot with the intent to kill and or maimed. You boycott cultural institutions, you are being illiberal. You take up arms, you are a terrorist, and you will be wiped out. All you can do is die. That is your only acceptable form of resistance. So first of all, I have absolutely no right to tell anybody how to resist their occupation or a state of injustice. But second, I can sit here and I can tell you how committed I am to nonviolence. And I can believe that fully. But by virtue of the society I live in, by virtue of what my tax dollars are being used to do, I am one of the most violent human beings on earth. And I can't simply brush that away and say, hey, I haven't thrown a punch since I was 15 years old, I'm fully committed to non-violence. I am part of a society that exercises great industrial violence. And at the very least, I should acknowledge that. And that makes it much, much more difficult to then go around parading my views about how violence debases us all. Sure, it does, but I am actively engaged in it right now. That has been a very difficult thing to contend with and I wish I had a sort of easy wraparound answer for it, but I don't."
...
"[W]hat I am no longer interested in is love as a form of institutional camouflage. I'm no longer interested in that. I'm no longer interested in stories that talk about how everything was great at the end after all the bad stuff happened. I am interested in that active form of love that is trying to stop the bad thing from happening right now. And I'm seeing so many examples of it and it is the one thing keeping me going. I'm a deeply, I'm not a particularly strong person. I'm a deeply weak person and I need that kind of inspiration. And I am getting it daily from people who are much stronger than me and who are engaged in the kind of love that matters more than any other, I think."

https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/dealignment
robertogrecois currently near perfect. As we navigate the hardest political moment for dems in my lifetime, just a PSA to not forget that this Administration has delivered a new brand of economics. It is working wonders, and whatever happens, it shouldn’t go anywhere.
At that point, ‘whatever happens’ referred to the question of whether Biden would be replaced by Harris. The words now have a more ultimate meaning, as two-thirds of voters told exit pollsters that the economy was ‘not good’ or ‘poor’, and voters who prioritized the economy broke overwhelmingly for Trump. In the aftermath of the election, Bernie Sanders noted that ‘It should come as no surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working-class people would find that the working class has abandoned them’. Others denied that the Democrats had abandoned the working class, but agreed that the working class had abandoned the party, either because they positively desired fascism or, more charitably, because they had been subject to misinformation about the state of the economy.
I don’t think it is possible to say with confidence that Harris lost because of the economy, much less that she or another Democrat could have won with different economic rhetoric. But it is simply not serious to claim that workers who rejected Harris were ignoring objective economic reality. As Biden’s own outgoing Council of Economic Advisers observed last month, ‘workers’ share of national income took a hit during the pandemic inflation’, with the result that the labour share – ‘an important indicator of how the economic pie is divided’ – was lower in 2024 than it had been under Trump. Perhaps the safest thing to say is that the working class, as a class, didn’t do anything. The vote is evidence of dealignment, not realignment: voters below $100,000 split basically down the middle.
What has been the elite counterpart to the dealignment of working-class votes? Harris won voters with household incomes over $100,000, but that is a fairly large group equivalent to more than one-third of households. She prevailed by similar margins among those making over $200,000, a more select group equivalent to just over 10% of all households. This group is also roughly equivalent to the 10% of American households which own 93% of the stock market, which has been the clearest winner in the Biden boom. This same top decile, according to a study by Thomas Ferguson and Servaas Storm, captured 59% of the overall increase in household wealth created since 2019. In turn, this wealth explosion set the pattern for a highly inegalitarian consumption boom, with the top 10% of US households accounting for 36.6% of the overall increase in consumption between 2020 and 2023. If you add in the next richest decile, the top 20% of households accounted for over half of the increase.
The distinctive Marxist position has been that class is a relationship, not an income percentile, much less the possession of a diploma. In this connection, it is relevant that Trump received the support of important sections of American capital, whose concerns have less to do with how much money they have (too much to count, no matter which party rules) and more to do with power and prerogative. Over the summer, the New York Times reported that ‘Nonunionized construction companies are furious about rules requiring agreements between contractors and unions on large federal projects’. The cryptocurrency lobby, working on behalf of an ‘industry’ whose very existence requires friendly politicians, spent nearly as much on federal elections in 2024 as all other corporate interests combined. More generally, some meaningful fraction of Silicon Valley has decided that the ‘techlash’ has gone far enough.
These forces are more publicly associated with Trump, but they are well represented within the Democratic Party by figures such as David Shor, the pollster who once said that ‘it was smart for Obama to try to ingratiate himself to the tech sector . . . and Democrats have made an enormous error by backtracking’. According to the NYT, the Harris campaign gave Shor’s consulting firm, Blue Rose Research, ‘agenda-setting power’ over a $700 million budget, much of it raised from tech. Most crypto money went to Republicans, but enough went to Democrats to get Chuck Schumer to proclaim at a ‘Crypto4Harris’ event that ‘Crypto is here to stay no matter what . . . we all believe in the future of crypto’. For most of society, class dealignment means polarization. But at the commanding heights of the economy, those with enough money to hedge their bets set themselves up to succeed in any eventuality.
That said, neither option is, from the standpoint of capital, ideal. Over the summer, the Business Roundtable (composed of 200 executives from large corporations) met with both campaigns. Trump told the group that ‘he would like to cut the corporate tax rate’ as well as further boosting oil production. Biden’s emissary, Jeff Zients, said that the Democrats’ ‘emphasis on global alliances’ and his respect for central bank independence ‘fostered the kind of trust worldwide that allowed US capitalism to thrive’. Antonio Gramsci himself could not have scripted a better example of the choice between capital’s narrow interest in maximizing returns and its broader ‘hegemonic’ interests. Paul Heideman, writing in 2021, observed along the same lines that the GOP’s ‘rightward peregrination has also produced quite a few negative externalities for capital, from needless uncertainty around the national debt to a devotion to minority rule that is threatening the legitimacy of a political system that has worked remarkably well for the corporate rich since the nineteenth century’. The most dramatic example of the latter was the January 6th incident, which briefly united the organized business community, aside from small business, in horror.
From that perspective, the fact that Trump won a popular majority makes life simpler for American business. As for central bank independence, if the Business Roundtable is not especially worried about that right now, it may be because they remember 2019. Throughout that year, Trump complained about the chairman of the Federal Reserve, tweeting at one point: ‘Who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?’ But when he asked his inner circle whether he could legally fire Powell, they told him immediately and unequivocally that he could not. According to the Wall Street Journal’s Fed correspondent, even someone like Larry Kudlow – a television personality and ‘ingratiating loyalist’ – knew that firing Powell, or even the rumour of it, would ‘accelerate the markets’ tailspin’. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin – enough of a loyalist to remain in his position for Trump’s entire first term – texted regularly with the Fed chairman and ‘made clear he had Powell’s back’. When Trump appeared at the Business Roundtable in summer 2024, he brought along Kudlow – a reminder to the executives of the emergency brake they had pulled so easily last time Trump’s ‘economic populism’ had threatened to escape from the realm of rhetoric.
Capitalists have been led astray by complacency before, including about Trump, and it is safe to assume that his unpredictable, personalist style will create new tensions with important sections of the business community. Wall Street’s euphoric response to the election suggests that ‘the market’ doesn’t think Trump is serious about mass deportations and punitive tariffs. But even if he doesn’t go as far as he promises, any serious steps in the direction of economic nationalism will have differential effects on business which could turn into political fractures. The same may develop with regards to the budget deficit, particularly if inflation returns.
The biggest wild card is probably the Atlantic relationship. NATO, as one of its founders explained, did not originate from a ‘strictly military calculus’ but reflected broader concern about ‘whether our kind of society could continue with democracy destroyed in Europe and our opportunities for economic expansion narrowed’. Even in 1949, it was no simple matter for the Truman administration to convince the American business community that their prosperity depended on transcontinental security guarantees. It is possible that, if the debate were reopened, everyone would ultimately decide that the old corporate internationalist creed remains as compelling as ever. But however it is resolved, the mere reopening of the debate itself can be counted on to illuminate fractures within the capitalist class.
NYT columnist Jamelle Bouie proclaimed that ‘Most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election’. Without giving any hostages to fortune, one can say that this is wrong. The idea of a political order, alluded to by Bouie, was introduced to the study of American politics by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr, whose first volume on the age of the New Deal was titled The Crisis of the Old Order. For volume two, The Coming of the New Deal, Schlesinger picked an epigraph from Machiavelli: ‘There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things’.
Both the Age of Roosevelt and its predecessor had rested on durable class alignments. The System of 1896 was founded on the consolidation of corporate capital in a world-historical merger movement, and secured at the polls – not once, but repeatedly – with the support of industrial workers who believed they had an interest in tariff-protected industrial development. The New Deal order represented the incorporation of organized labour as a junior partner behind those businesses which would benefit from, or could at least tolerate, Roosevelt’s unprecedented combination of free trade, social welfare and trade union legality. Even the fractured age of neoliberalism was preceded, in the 1970s, by an unprecedented mobilization in which, as Thomas Edsall put it, ‘business refined its ability to act as a class, submerging competitive instincts in favour of joint, cooperative action in the legislative arena’.
Hegemony is more than a vibe, and critical realignment is not just a fancy name for a dramatic election night. It may be that one day it will be possible to interpret 2024 as a stage in the casting of a new political order. But that will depend on what happens next: what Trump does with his victory, and how everyone else responds to the domestic and international forces unleashed by his second administration."]]>timbarker 2024 dealignment elections donaldtrump kamalaharris joebiden democrats politics class frontpopulaire fascism centrism georgemcgovern society us richardnixon history maga ronaldreagan rebeccasolnit ideology ideologues jingoism bidenomics economics economy workingclass inflation realignment unions labor work workers blueroseresearch cryptocurrencies crypto bitcoin web3 jeffzients antoniogramsci paulheideman 2020 2021 2022 2023 larrykudlow stevenmnuchin jaypowell capitalism capitalists nato jamellebouie arthurschlesinger machiavelli fdr thomasedsall roycohn patbuchanan franklindelanoroosevelthttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:fc2b5b8092c9/La inteligencia de las plantas.

robertogrecoIn 2018, Republicans got 45 percent of the popular vote in Wisconsin - which translated to 63 out of 99 state assembly seats. Democrats got the majority of the popular vote - and only 36 out of 99 seats. From a democratic standpoint, that seems… problematic. 5/
Why does this matter? The ethnonationalism & white supremacy of the GOP are unpopular, & Dems have reasonably relied on that unpopularity to win office & keep the very worst bad actors from winning power.
After finding that the piecemeal suppressionist efforts & institutional means of overturning the 2020 election insufficient, Republicans have expanded both.
Republicans passed voter restrictions in 19 states like Georgia & Texas making it harder to vote white pursuing “reforms” in making it easier to toss out results in which Dms win. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-politics-legislature-local-elections-bills-73b331234cec8c966bb2308f6ed1696e
At the very same time, Republicans passed bills in 36 states making it easier to arrest & run over protesters, which would be Dems only recourse following GOP suppression & election rigging. https://www.icnl.org/usprotestlawtracker/
Finally, Republicans are in the midst of an “anti-CRT” campaign making it illegal to criticize white supremacist structures, even historically, in classroom & state agencies, again leaving Dems w/o recourse after GOP sabotage.
In short, the system they created is incredibly thorough, designed to prevent fallout from suppression. It MIRRORIS PRECISELY the tactics white supremacists used to create & affirm via SCOTUS an apartheid state from the 1890s through the 1960s in the U.S.
This means that unless Dems pass & implement federal legislation (like yesterday, tbh) addressing this 3-pronged attack on democracy, 2022 or 2024 will likely bring the final death of multiracial democracy.
3) Finally, mainstream reporting & public discourse continue to treat the GOP as a legitimate party & “bipartisanship” as a legitimate end.
Why does this matter? The “bipartisan” descriptions of the GOP assault on democracy as, for ex, “polarization,” hide the ways that the GOP has radicalized over the last 40 (& esp 10) yrs.
Refusing to acknowledge GOP radicalization (not to mention the proliferation of online right wing misinformation) makes it difficult for most Americans to understand the causes of our current crisis.
Historically, the most violent white supremacist backlashes occurred in response to multiracial organizing like we saw in 2020 that led “mainstream” & “centrist” forces to align with white reactionaries in the name of “civility.”
We see that most clearly during Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Red Summer, & Massive Resistance, during which white vigilante & state forces meted out mass violence while white elites found new ways to rig the system.
This white "moderatism" seeks power in preserving or reestablishing a white consensus politics by undermining critique of the "bipartisan" white consensus as inherently illegitimate.
A much longer thread on that dynamic here, but the nutshell is that from legacy to social media, our information networks are owned & operated by those literally invested in the white consensus. https://twitter.com/wihorne/status/1458049464921427981
That the vast majority of American media is either owned & operated by the super-wealthy or algorithmically manipulated by them doesn’t bode well for multiracial democracy in this moment of white backlash.
Perhaps Dems & legacy media simply haven't learned the "lessons of the last 4 yrs" or whatever. Maybe. But the behavior fits a specific pattern of historic white backlashes that put those outside the "white consensus" in mortal danger.
Civil wars are miserable & horribly deadly, but they usually carry the potential for a better, more equitable future. Unless we change course dramatically & right away, the current white backlash leaves little room for that hope. /end
One last thing: If you're looking for a useful & accessible resource on white backlashes in the U.S., Carol Anderson's White Rage is the first text on my syllabus for exactly that reason. Highly recommend! https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/white-rage-9781632864123/
Well it looks like the baddies are maddie that I used the term white backlash & are, well, white backlashing. Let's have a good laugh Rolling on the floor laughing at their expense for illustrating exactly the problem we face. Please do report them & I'll post a few blanket replies to their lies below. ["Are we the baddies?" GIF]
First, I'm not going to lock the account despite the baddies bc the whole point is that the situation we face is extremely fucking dire. People need to know that. I'll be OK, but again, plz do report the baddest little baddies.
And on to their Very Serious Critiques.
1) No, the existence of an optional course at a university you choose to attend for grad school is not "indoctrination," nor is reading abt things that happened & discussing them—which is what the course actually consists of.
What is *actual* indoctrination is demanding that courses like this, which do raise serious questions abt existing systems of power, be banned. But thanks for this trip into the Upside Down!
2) Threatening someone for using the term "white backlash" makes you look like a Clown face by, as noted above, actually illustrating a key suppressionist element of historical & ongoing white backlashes. Nice work!
3) No, the existence of Black, Latinx, or other white backlashers of color doesn't mean it's not a white backlash. In fact, every white backlash in U.S. history involved either a realignment of "whiteness" or a collaboration w/Black & other racialized elites.
Did Confederate Cherokees support, idk, "inclusion?" No, they supported proximity to power--to the white supremacist state & its regime of slave-capital. https://lsupress.org/books/detail/confederate-cherokees/
Did Black enslavers support equality? Well, no. Although the tightening grip of racist legislation diminished this group by the 1850s, every enslaving state boasted a free Black population that asserted their own rights at the expense of enslaved. https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/johnson-william-jr-1809-1851/
The same might be said for Irish, Italian, Jewish, & countless other immigrant groups of the 19th & 20th centuries deemed initially nonwhite, only to relocate under the aegis of whiteness by aligning against Black Americans & newer generations of migrants. Not new.
And in fact, today's your lucky day, bc the last book on my syllabus, Daniel Martinez HoSang & Joseph E. Lowndes, Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity, analyzes this phenomenon re Trumpism.
Also, lol at you Clown faces again for telling on yourselves with "but Hispanics voted for Trump" bc a) white Hispanics exist & consider themselves white, but b) YOU don't consider them white & we all know why.
Not to mention that groundswell of rightwing misinformation targeting Spanish speakers in the U.S., which has been *widely reported on* over the last few months. https://www.vogue.com/article/spanish-language-covid-misinformation
Again, this "but poc support Trump so our racism isn't racist" argument is itself racist bc it fails to treat the voters that YOU baddies racialize as humans with a desire for stability & access to power. Booo!Thumbs down
One way it's obvious that this baddie "but poc" argument is in VERY BAD FAITH, also from the syllabus, is in the right wing fearmongering around immigration that increases GOP id of white by 7%. Not an accident, kids. https://twitter.com/wihorne/status/1461446566821220354
Simply reporting on Latinx immigration increases white Republican identification by 7%! I knew it would be high, but holy shit! 7%!
From White Backlash by Marisa Abrajano & Zoltan L. Hajnal.
7%!!!!!!🤯
White people are not "sending our best," it seems.
[image: screenshot]
4) Claiming that I'm promoting violence by *observing* white supremacist violence is literal enslaver rhetoric invented by proslavery apologists to attack abolitionists. Good job!
I think that's everything worth mentioning. Everyone knows I put my pronouns in the bio; I know this too bc I did it on purpose. Became a professor on purpose too. Not exactly breaking news! Now plz do everyone a favor & stop being racist reactionary little turdlets.
Sorry, one more. Saying “civil wars are bad but we are poised for something worse,” as I have done, is obviously not the same as saying “civil wars are great, whee” as you claim. I assume you baddies know that you’re lying, but plz know that you’re fooling exactly 0 ppl.
