Perhaps for the first time in my almost four decades, both our two major political parties are running on a adjacent rock and threatening to take the nation with them.
Vishal, Sana Middle is in every reason for those of us that we must be craving for those days soon when Barack Obama, not Zoharan MamdaniThe Democratic party’s up-end was the star, and it seems that it may seem-when Donald Trump and JD Vance did not lead the Republican.
rights called Obama is unwilling to implement peace through United Nations-American, incompatible and strength. In fact, he was none of the above. A product of white Kansas and Black Chicago, Obama dropped More drones To keep the country safe in the Middle East compared to its Republican predecessor. If he gives his hand a lot of taste for divisive, then-“Quit identity,” a unique combination Optimism and practicality He eventually opposed him to his foggy, backward looking world vision. No more Americans are available than this.
But i am afraid next generation of Democratic Party, Embodified as Mamdani, Will be really Not of amarrikInconsistent and reluctant to apply peace through strength – and Not just abroadBut on our streets too Your cityMamdani made her own Governing worldview Explicit in numerous technocratic tickeks and fact-free Policy proposal He Eliminate it For many young, college-educated clans and many immigrants. But it did not fool many black voters in Bronx or White Ethnic Voters in the island of Stateen.
Kamala Harris’s 2024 Democratic National Convention was a multi -level tapestry, in which people of all backgrounds and colors woke up in just three: red, white and blue. Take a look at the winning ceremony of the Mamdani and pay attention to the total absence of any American symbolism. His New York is a rootless, globalist metropolis, which has no patriotism, not only from the existence of Israel, but also by the US. It is a new-American opponent on the left side.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Left told Trump Fascist and a racistIn fact, he is a crude, Brash New York Hotel Mogul and reality television star, which is both Government And in its former businesses, hired (and fired) All types of people With all types of identity. Like many infallible male CEOs of his generation, the only solution for the price of others is his personal loyalty to him.
Should the presidents act like a mafia don? No, but it can actually be worse than an intoxicating guru of meditation, staring at any ideology can also be self-conscious-and I am afraid that it is about it.
The next generation GOP is embedded by Vance Will, the reason for being suspicious, in fact a kind of racist smacks of racism, not a manner to mention the masculinarian, in a way that seems to be dedicated to philanthropist sexism. They will call both – and in fact, on the surface – will only look qualified. Vance crystals him Understanding America 2024 in his speech at Republican National Convention.
Is not America “There is an idea,” He told us. Channeling “Gangs of New York” “Bill the Butcher” and 19th century Know that Nothings The Vice President, who was mostly afraid of the Irish and hate the hills of the Vance’s adoption Catholic belief, now gave poetic poetry about the hills of Kentki, where his own body will be kept to rest with several generations of his ancestors.
This is the codification of one “Blood and soil” Nationalism like nationalism in the Republican Party for decades. So far, this force is mostly placed in bay – first, George W. Bush’s Inbourne New England Ealitism layered his adopted Texas egalitarian, and then by Trump’s New York Cosmopolitanism, from which his “America first” The impulses cannot eventually be separated. But now, in the person and person “Bro Podcaster” The Brigade in which he is connected is the new-American right to the Netist nationalism rights.
Consider how big and dangerous is the appreciation of how big and dangerous is the representation of Mamdani and Vance: Obama, Trump, Harris, Bush, and all others who have been taken seriously as a national political person in my lifetime, neither really cares for Iran whether Iran has nuclear weapons or not.
Mamdani does not care because, for her, Israel and America are the same as Iran. For your followers on the left, “Global the Intifada“New is new” we will cross. “And Vance, though he had to play to an extent Trump’s attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, Looking at his role in administration, no Especially care One of the two. For him, “America First” actually means “America alone.” For its colleagues on “new rights”, Israel is Essentially a supplier It should take care of itself, not an essentially a respected colleague whose safety is tied to us (not to mention with moral orders).
To understand as a reality that Iran should not have nuclear weapons, that New York does not require more, low, police and that veins First generation American wife As soon as he is American, we should reject both the new American anti-American anti-American and the new-American on the right.
In contrast, for all our own things, the US has so far been an exception to a large extent to tribal realities, which define most parts of the world, and define political conflict, and continue. The truth is that American extravagance – the facility of clearly malicious, right side by the Left – has finally been manifested in our politics since World War II. Some modern American progressive leaders have been a totalitarian or anarchist, and some modern American conservative leaders have been fascists or netists.
But we have thrown these words around anyway, such as Wolf crying nations. And as a lobe, our upcoming-two new, vocal and rapidly politically opposed anti-American can be in hand.
