Populism, MAGA, and Trump: Insights from Media and the Campaign Trail

"In other words, like David Foster Wallace — who celebrates McCain for his display of “‘moral authority'” and commitment to “‘service' and ‘sacrifice' and ‘honor'” — Clinton responds to the extremes of free-market ideology by imagining that “American community” can be rebuilt through the practice of what he calls “old values,” or what Hillary Clinton calls, in a 1993 speech, the “politics of meaning.” In this sense, Clintonian rhetoric offers a particularly clear, particularly influential example of the kind of centrist “communitarianism” that would shape American writing and politics – including the politics of the party's next president, Barack Obama, a self-described “New Democrat” – for at least a generation." – Ryan M. Brooks, Liberalism and American Literature in the Clinton Era (2022) What happens when the right scholar expands his doctoral research to insightfully engage with the pressing issues of a fragmented American society by drawing together and contrasting visions of Reaganite and Clintonian neoliberalism and its implications for literature and politics moving forward? The answer is Liberalism and American Literature in the Clinton Era (Cambridge UP, 2022) by Ryan M. Brooks, professor of English and podcast host for Humanities on the High Plains. Professor Brooks' book is the latest in the Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture which describes his efforts this way: Liberalism and American Literature in the Clinton Era argues that a new, post-postmodern aesthetic emerges in the 1990s as a group of American writers – including Mary Gaitskill, George Saunders, Richard Powers, Karen Tei Yamashita, and others – grapples with the political triumph of free-market ideology. The book shows how these writers resist the anti-social qualities of this frantic right-wing shift while still performing its essential gesture, the personalization of otherwise irreducible social antagonisms. Thus, we see these writers reinvent political struggles as differences in values and emotions, in fictions that explore non-antagonistic social forms like families, communities and networks. Situating these formally innovative fictions in the context of the controversies that have defined this rightward shift – including debates over free trade, welfare reform, and family values – Brooks details how American writers and politicians have reinvented liberalism for the age of pro-capitalist consensus.

Hillary Clinton has just released an online course on "The Power of Resilience" through the website MasterClass, where celebrities teach their skills. The course has made the news because in it, she delivers the speech she would have given had she won the presidency in 2016, which she did not. We were curious what else is in Hillary Clinton's MasterClass, so Current Affairs editors Yasmin Nair, Nathan J. Robinson, and Lily Sánchez paid the fee and took the class. In this episode, we reveal all of the class's secrets, so that you can take Hillary's MasterClass without actually taking Hillary's MasterClass. Her useful lessons on resilience, negotiation, and more are helpfully summarized in this delightful conversation. We discuss:- Why the class seems to be more about helping Clinton process her loss to Donald Trump than a good faith attempt to teach anyone anything- How the class rewrites history and leaves out all of the horrible things the Clintons have done over the course of their political careers- How Clinton presents politics as the struggle of ambitious people to achieve personal goals and fulfillment rather than as a collective struggle that necessitates social movements- Why it's necessary that nobody ever take the lessons of this class seriously, since the last thing we need is a new generation of vacuous Clintonian politicians- Why it's strange to get lessons on political success from someone whose decisions led to a catastrophic political failure (campaign in Wisconsin is not one of the class lessons) Yasmin's Baffler article on Clinton's dystopian elite feminism is here. Her article "Dynasties of Neoliberalism" also discusses Clinton. Nathan's book on Bill Clinton, Superpredator: Bill Clinton's Use and Abuse of Black America, is available here. His article dissecting the Clinton campaign is here. The quote from Bill Clinton about Obama is from a 2012 New Yorker article. 

Aaron Maté is back on the show to discuss an article he wrote published at Real Clear Investigations. Maté explains how, although the origins of Russiagate are still murky, the Clinton Campaign seems to be at the center of it all. Notably with Clinton lawyers hiring Fusion GPS to look into Trump connections with Russia, an “inquiry” that led to the Steele Dossier. The Campaign's legal team also hired Crowdstrike to investigate the DNC email leak, a step that was necessary to push the narrative that the leak was carried out by the Russians to support Trump. Maté stresses the timeline for which these events took place, because the dates alone are fatal to the establishment's narrative.   Discussed on the show: “Coming Into Focus: Hillary's Secretive, Russiagate-Flogging Pair of Super-Lawyers” (Real Clear Investigations) Scott's Interview with Craig Murray  “CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller's Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims” (Real Clear Investigations) Scott's debate with Bill Kristol “Claims of Microwave Attacks Are Scientifically Implausible” (Foreign Policy) Aaron Maté is an NYC-based journalist and producer.

Poverty warriors Joanne Goldblum and Colleen Shaddox talk about the Clintonian overhaul of welfare that has pushed children into extreme poverty for decades. As always, they have opinions, strong ones, and question why the richest nation in the world embraces such a cruel public policy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brokeinamerica/support

The Chinese president has just declared a new "Long March" to global dominance in the face of American tariffs- Thom asks if Democrats will get behind majority American opinion, or cling to Clintonian free trade and thereby lose the 2020 election to Donald Trump. ~~~~ Thom reads from the Mueller Report, page 32- the further adventures of the Russian-funded Internet Research Agency and their communication with the Trump campaign. ~~~~ Thom continues his brilliant analysis of Trump's China trade strategy. ~~~~ How a 'Buy America' clause in a Green New Deal could invigorate our economy. ~~~~ Helen Rattner with Talk Media News puts her head together with Thom on China trade and other headline issues of the day. ~~~~ The latest economic data from the last three years shows Thom's book title 'Crash of 2016' was correct, but hidden by government deficit spending. Thom exposes the fundamental weakness of the structure of the Reagan economy we're living in, and argues we've got to get back to manufacturing things in this country again.

There is likely only one single issue the Democrats and Republicans agree on: the desperate need for prison reform. Jason Flom, the founding board member of the Innocence Project, joins Nick to explain what's currently happening with incarceration rates in America, and why so much of it is Bill Clinton's fault.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Partisan hack attorney Gloria Allred takes a major pratfall on the Roy Moore equation. Why won't Allred immediately release the 1977 high school "yearbook" to independent investigators? Is Allred having an honesty issue in front of all the cameras? We consider the nuances around the suspicious yearbook signature -- and its mysterious "D.A." appellation -- and conclude that grounds for skepticism towards Moore's accusers are growing. Meanwhile, an embittered Hillary Clinton continues to question the "legitimacy" of the 2016 election, raising her hypocrisy levels unto new realms of glory. Fending off potential DOJ investigations into Uranium One, Hillary now raises the specter of "dictatorship" in America. Does this individual still possess any kind of a soul? Plus, we listen to Juanita Broaddrick describe the belated "epiphany" from Democrats following their decades of sanctioning Clintonian pathologies. Also, we commemorate the opening of the "Johnny Cash Trail" near Folsom Prison in California. Callers defend Roy Moore en masse. With Music from Eros Ramazzotti, Nicole Sherzinger, Hercules & Love Affair. Sacred Song from Johnny Cash.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday. Contrary to Democratic talking points, this is actually more Clintonian than Nixonian. Also: Emergency at the Hanford nuclear waste site.

This is the election episode.   I speak with Laurence Leamer author of The President’s Butler, a fictional account of a billionaire who decides to run for president. Afraid of Trump becoming president?  Well, don’t be too thrilled about the alternative.  Professor Mark Lewis Taylor of Princeton Seminary has written a couple of articles for Counterpunch in which he lays out the case for defeating both Trump and Clintonian  Neo-Liberalism. It's about money. Corporations are spending over 16 million in Oregon to defeat measure 97.  I speak with Oregon PTA Legislative Director Otto Schellabout what Measure 97 will and will not do.

Hillary Clinton throws Colin Powell under the bus as she dodges responsibility for mishandling classified information. Former Secretary of State Powell openly responds to Clinton's provocations, in a distinctly unimpressed manner. We marvel over chronic "Clintonian" patterns of blame shifting. They've gotten away with it all for decades -- but will they in 2016? Also, Michael Goodwin of the New York Post describes "American journalism collapsing before our eyes" in the context of overwhelming biases against Trump, and we listen to crowds at Trump rallies implore a malicious CNN to "Do Your Job" and "Tell The Truth." Any chance of that happening anytime soon? Plus, we listen to a Trump "apologia" of sorts, we further explore the political implications of Louisiana's tragic floods, and we suggest a "sleepy" theme song for the ultra-low-energy Hillary Campaign. Pillow Time? With Listener Calls and Music via Patti Page, Alan Walker, Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Cash & Rev. Billy Graham.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two white guys discuss Black Lives Matter! What could possibly go wrong? Plenty! Recording problems abound as we suffer through Isaac eating a grapefruit and the local ice cream man making his jingly appearance. Isaac hates a joke I made on Facebook analogizing the "black on black crime" pivot to the lack of people using Orlando to discuss rising HIV infections. Isaac and I disagree on how connected police brutality is to crime rates amongst minority populations. We also talk about online "nutpicking," whether the recent spate of police shootings is part of the vast Clintonian conspiracy, and the plight of straight white men. Music: www.bensound.com

in the first episode of Renegade Radio, the renegade brigade talks about a new genre of music, PAUSE. We also talk Clintonian politics, Hollywood, and review new music by Westside Gunn and elZHi

Billy Barton/July 3, 2013 Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Billy Barton, who grew up on a farm and joined the USMC upon graduating high school. Billy served all around the world, including Kosovo. Billy wound up landing in Philadephia, where he was taken in by the West Philly scene and came to bring the “lead from the front” attitude he learned from the Marine Corps to putting on shows, playing in the bands Population Zero and The Charlie Few, putting out a ‘zine detailing how to put on DIY shows, and more. Billy has some interesting views on the Clintonian “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in place during his service and the military of today where that policy is no more. Billy’s get-to-it attitude and positivity make for an interview that’s both entertaining and inspiring.   The post LOUD! FAST! PHILLY! Episode 28: Billy Barton of Population Zero, The Charlie Few appeared first on Cinepunx.
