Wisconsin court upholds Republican laws curbing powers of Democratic officials Some articles referenced or relevant to the interview: Professor Pierson has also written many other books including the prize winning, Dismantling the Welfare State? Reagan, Thatcher and the Politics of Retrenchment. Their other books include American Amnesia: How the War on Government Led Us to Forget What Made America Prosper, Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer–and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class Off Center: The Republican Revolution and The Erosion of American Democracy. LET THEM EAT TWEETS: HOW THE RIGHT RULES IN AN AGE OF EXTREME INEQUALITY is one of several books he has written with Jacob Hacker, who is director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and a Political Science Professor at Yale University. Racists excuse his pandering to the rich and to the theocrats because he makes racism socially acceptable.Paul Pierson is the John Gross Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley.
Theocrats excuse his economic and personal immorality and racism because he appoints anti-abortion judges. The wealthy excuse Trump’s theocracy and racism because he makes them richer. The GOP troika - plutocrats, theocrats and racists - are thrilled to be led by a lying, bullying, national-deficit-increasing, environment-wrecking, law-breaking, immoral, white-supremacist president because he gets them what they want. Bush and Trump became president even though each lost the popular vote. Due to the Electoral College, established because of 1787 racism, both G.W. Republicans have so gerrymandered voting districts in Michigan that even though there are more votes statewide for Democratic candidates, we have a Republican-majority Michigan legislature. They employ tactics such as closing polling places, imposing ID laws, closing Secretary of State offices, and purging voter rolls to disadvantage their opponents. The three willingly accept authoritarianism and the establishment of policies that make it difficult for opponents to vote. They oppose the American Declaration of Independence’s ideal “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.” And, being in the minority nationwide, they do not trust democracy to achieve their goals. Thump’s three factions share two fundamental beliefs. Nor do they care if the wealth of the nation is transferred to the top 1 percent, provided Trump keeps white over Black. Racists do not worry about theocracy many even falsely consider themselves Christian. When in his inaugural address Trump stated, “This American carnage stops right here,” racists knew exactly what it meant to them as Trump then went about intentionally erasing Obama’s legacy. When Barack Obama was elected president, this fear came out into the open and helped elect Trump. The greatest fear of racists is Black over white. Now, Trump openly supports racists as “fine” people, attacks “Black Lives Matter” protesters, supports white-only immigration, and uses the fascist-like terror tactic of separating refugee children from their parents at the border before sending all to incarceration camps. Traditionally, Republicans used “dog whistles” to win their vote. Racists left the Democratic Party for the GOP in the 1960s after Democrats supported equal civil and voting rights. Theocrats are willing to accept income inequality and tolerate social injustices as long as Trump makes abortion illegal, supports religious schools and defends their “religious freedom” to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community. Promoting fear of socialism, they oppose policies for the common good such as healthcare for all. Plutocrats support low wages, reduced regulations, trade agreements that favor them, unlimited campaign spending, anti-unions, non-enforcement of environmental laws, privatizing government services, and increasing the national debt only when it enriches them - for example, Trump’s tax cut and the corporation bail-outs of 20. The wealthy support plutocracy, rule by the wealthy, such as we have with Trump’s cabinet, enriching themselves as they rule. Each is willing to sacrifice traditional American values to achieve its goals. A vote for Trump now is a vote for these three.Įach group has a specific agenda that does not conflict with the other two. With the loss of support from traditional conservatives, many having come out for Biden, the GOP is left with a coalition of three core factions: plutocrats, theocrats and racists. It merely renewed what delegates had enacted in 2016, effectively endorsing whatever President Trump wants.
