biden's new campaign strategy is to tell voters "boy, wouldn't it be terrible if there was a single ruler in charge who could accomplish things on a whim without endless horse trading and obstructionism? That would be the worst thing to ever happen to America, anyway, vote for me"

I know some people don’t want to hear that but then you need to work with your elected officials to get the laws changed.

So Donald Trump was merely enforcing the law you mean.

this one got me because trey and matt would have went nuclear on clinton if she won. they probably had to scrap a poo poo ton of material they had planned for her term. and then not a peep about trump until the end of 2020

He seems to echo a lot of Christopher Lasch's ideas, but they both speak truth on the clear failures of our liberal elites. Hedges in particular is a great speaker, and you can hear his Christian minister background when he is condemning the failures of the powerful like an Old Testament prophet.

yeah, living in one of the Midwestern cities hardest hit by deindustrialization/capital consolidation has given me an insight into how the politics has changed. there's always been a sense of alienation here but the Obama years, where the Dems shifted their focus to the Sun Belt/Colorado/Virginia and the business class decided that the only places in the Central Time Zone that counted were Chicago/Texas/the Twin Cities, really kicked it into high gear. it's why some of the most whacko GOP pols (Hawley, Greitens, Josh Mandel, Scott Walker) have come out of these cut-adrift places. and unfortunately like I said young people here want nothing more than to pay $2k+ to live in a 4-over-1 in Nashville or Denver or Austin or Atlanta, or maybe head to Pittsburgh/Philly if they still want the Rust Belt experience, rather than try and save the Lou or the Land or the Nati.
