A little disappointed with Ezra today!

“I found Ezra’s take on the ideological shift in the Republican party in general and JDVance in particular, to be a little naive today. This championing of Trump as the man of the people, which “speaks to Vance’s humble background and ideological shift” gives far too much weight to ideology and not nearly enough weight to expediency and power brokering.
Trump is an ideological void and the idea that his gold toilet upbringing gives him an understanding of the alienation of the working class is, sadly, a cruel joke that only a true grifter and conman can make. There is nothing ideological to it. Trumps appeal to the working man is his crassness and the absence of any ideology other than a history of bigotry, xenophobia, racism, anti/semitism and a host of other grievances. These have given the white aging working glass an excuse to publicly air long help ideological beliefs regarding people of color, immigrants and the usual suspects that have fed their grievances and left them in the dust of immigrants who have done everything possible to succeed.
Grievance, if anything, is Trumps ideology and JD’s appropriation of that and his ability to translate that into a pseudo/quasi-academic platform, is more scary than noble. Blaming the loss of manufacturing jobs on some form of global elite is preposterous and has far more to do with American workers demand for higher salaries than it does with any segment of this population or political party that has forgotten the working class in Ohio. The fact that this fiction is the basis for any political platform, smells a lot more like Germany in the 1930’s than 2024 America. Populists are populist because their grievance politics is popular. And that is why JD Vance shifted to the dark side. Not because he found some new born ideological intellect, but instead, found a quick ride to power. Although i take my hat off to him. He’s very good at what he does. And that’s even scarier.”

“First episode had a gripping retelling of Bharara's firing from his own perspective. Interview was Panetta also excellent. Bharara seems down to earth and accessible. I would like to hear more from him about current events and the law.”Read full review »
