What if Joe Biden’s presidency is the last chapter of an era of generally genteel, establishment politics? And if the future of our politics is the populism of Donald Trump — and, yes, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
That’s one of the big questions
and I tackled in our live video chat on the Substack app today.We also covered Trump as Time’s Man of the Year, Damon’s theory on how Biden’s decision to pass the “American Rescue Plan” is (partly) responsible for the inflation surge and whose fault is it, really, that Democrats lost the White House.
You can watch the whole conversation above. I learned a lot from Damon in it — as I always do when I read his
Substack. If you aren’t a subscriber yet, you need to be. Trust me.Thank you
, , , and many others for tuning in. I am going to be doing a bunch more of these live videos so make sure to download the Substack app — if you haven’t already — so you can watch them live.
If you want to support these sorts of authentic conversations about politics — and the broader culture — I hope you consider becoming a paid subscriber to this newsletter. It’s $6 a month or $60 for the year.
