Thanks for your comments. I find your article on the transformation of the American upper class most intriguing, although I do not entirely agree. Have you previously written on this subject in your "From Poverty to Progress" series or is this analysis part of a forthcoming book?
I agree with almost everything that you wrote, but I am puzzled by your final verdict.
How does a federal government reform itself without action from outside, particularly given all the points that you made in the article? Isn’t that how a republic is supposed to function?
If it could self-reform, why has it not happened over the last 60 years?
All valid points. But I don’t think you can dismiss racism and misogyny and how Trump exploited/fueled them. Spend some time on right-wing social media (including Trump’s “Truth” … “1984”, anyone?) posts - it gets very ugly very fast.
