What happened in the 2024 elections, and what happens now? Donald J. Trump is headed back to the White House, Republicans will control the Senate, and it's possible they will control all three branches of government when the dust settles. Democrats' “blue wall” crumbled in the face of the MAGA-led “red wave,” but that picture gets more complicated when we survey the results of other key races and ballot measures across the country. So, what really happened on Tuesday? What do the results tell us about the political landscape and the balance of power in the US? How did Democrats lose so soundly, how did Republicans pull off such sizable wins? And what implications do the elections have for the future of civil rights, immigration, protest and social movements, public policy, the climate, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, and America's place on the world stage?In this post-election livestream, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and Marc Steiner, host of The Marc Steiner Show, are joined by a range of guests to help break down the wins, losses, and strategies for moving forward from the 2024 elections. Guests include: scholar-activist and artist Eman Abdelhadi; Rick Perlstein, columnist at The American Prospect and author of numerous books like “Nixonland,” “Reaganland,” and “Before the Storm”; Laura Flanders, host of “Laura Flanders & Friends” on PBS; John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation; Bill Gallegos of the Mexico Solidarity Project; and TRNN reporters Taya Graham and Stephen Janis, who have been on the ground in Wisconsin all week.Studio: David Hebden, Cameron Granadino, Adam ColeyPre-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Kayla Rivara, Jocelyn DombroskiHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

The author of several excellent books about the history of American conservatism, including The Invisible Bridge, Nixonland, and Reaganland, Rick Perlstein makes his triumphant return to Know Your Enemy. Drawing on Rick's wealth of historical knowledge, as well as his American Prospect column — entitled "The Infernal Triangle" — we explore the failures of American media elites and the Democratic Party to reckon with Donald Trump and his antecedents on the far right. What are the habits and genres of American journalism that inhibit an adequate accounting of Trump's rise and influence? Why do Democrats tend to adopt "conservatism lite," when faced with a far right opponent? How has Rick's perspective on studying the right changed since he began his work in the 1990s? And how will future historians make sense of these times? Listen to find out!

Ralph is joined by labor activist Gene Bruskin to discuss how labor leaders are joining with Progressive lawmakers to demand a ceasefire in Gaza, and the true meaning of solidarity. Then Ralph welcomes Rick Perlstein— historian, chronicler of American conservativism, and author of Nixonland—to explain Donald Trump's iron grip on the Republican Party.Gene Bruskin is a veteran of the labor movement as a local union president, organizer, and campaign coordinator for numerous local and national unions. He has done extensive international labor solidarity work, including with Iraqi workers and unions, and is a founder of US Labor Against the War. He is also a member of the National Labor Network for a Ceasefire. Never in the 140 year history of the labor movement—starting with the A.F.L. formation in 1885—has there been such a broad-scale resistance to U.S. government policy in the middle of a conflict like this. It's just never happened before.Gene BruskinThe labor movement has to understand that there's a lot of contradictions in the Democratic Party and we cannot allow the party to define our interests. And on foreign policy, the idea has been long time proposed in the labor movement that our national interests require us to do “this” kind of foreign policy or “this” war… But really what we did in our organization U.S. Labor Against the War during the Iraq War—where we actually built real solidarity with Iraqi workers and brought them all over the country here—was we said the national interest of the corporations is not the same as the national interest of the average worker. Gene BruskinSomeday we will see that when unions endorse Democratic presidents, they make demands in return. They should not have simply endorsed Biden—as the U.A.W. did, and others—without demanding a public commitment.Ralph NaderRick Perlstein is a historian and chronicler of American conservativism. He is the author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America, Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus, and Reaganland: America's Right Turn 1976-1980.These feelings of dispossession, of vulnerability, of weakness really get at the darkest and most easily-manipulated parts of the human mind that are based on the most primal fears. Stuff like fears of snakes, fear of cockroaches, fear of dark things that go bump in the night. And those are there in our brains, they're in the lowest parts of our brains. And what the Republican Party has been doing for decades… is they're exploiting that animal part of the brain in order to aggrandize their own power. And it's really, really scary. And one of the things that makes it, again, so scary is it is precisely not amenable to rational persuasion.Rick PerlsteinThe Democratic Party is not the kind of party that says, “Wow, we can use this and sustain these things that we were able to put in during an emergency to shore up our power forever.” Instead, as soon as they had the chance, they took them away.Rick PerlsteinIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/14/241. On Monday, the Senate voted through a mammoth $95 billion foreign aid package furnishing American assistance to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Beyond arming Israel however, this bill also bans funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, one of the key agencies providing relief to Palestinians in Gaza – even as starvation in Gaza deepens to lethal levels – and removes previous requirements that the president inform Congress of additional weapons transfers to Israel. Voting against the bill, Senator Merkley of Oregon said “The campaign conducted by the Netanyahu government is at odds with our American values & American law…I cannot vote to send more bombs & shells to Israel when they are using them in an indiscriminate manner against Palestinian civilians.” In another speech, Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said “Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food. In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true, that is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime. And that makes those who orchestrate it war criminals.” Yet, despite correctly identifying the Israeli starvation campaign as a war crime, Van Hollen voted in favor of the arms package. The bill now moves to the House, which failed to advance it just last week. House Speaker Mike Johnson has gone on record saying he opposes the package because it does not address immigration at the southern border.2. In Michigan, a movement is underway to deny Joe Biden the state's delegates, by encouraging voters to check the box for “uncommitted” in the upcoming Democratic primary. So far, over 30 Democratic elected officials in the state have cosigned this movement, including Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud of Dearborn and Representative Abraham Aiyash, Majority Leader in the Michigan House. This list is expected to grow as Biden's untempered support for Israel puts Michigan Democrats on increasingly perilous footing. More information is available at ListentoMichigan.com.3. If you're a Hulu subscriber, you may have seen the pro-Israel propaganda the streamer has been running. Put simply, the ad – created by Israel's National Public Diplomacy Directorate – begins like a tourist ad for Gaza – using AI-generated images – and then shifts to showing the reality on the ground there, ascribing all blame for conditions in Gaza to Hamas, with no mention of the fact that Israel has blockaded Gaza and turned it into what major human rights groups call “the world's largest open air prison.” With this ad running constantly, locals in Los Angeles have mobilized to protest Hulu's offices, a rare escalation that the company would be wise not to ignore. This from Vice.4. Two stunning stories on Boeing: in an LA Times article, Ed Pierson – a former Boeing senior manager – is quoted saying “I would absolutely not fly a Max airplane...I've worked in the factory where they were built, and I saw the pressure employees were under to rush the planes out the door. I tried to get them to shut down before the first crash.” Joe Jacobsen, a former engineer at Boeing and the FAA, said “I would tell my family to avoid the Max. I would tell everyone, really.” Meanwhile, the American Prospect reports that the lawyer who exposed Epstein's sweetheart deal with Alex Acosta has sued the Department of Justice, in an attempt to force disclosure of what is in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement reached by Boeing and the Trump administration following the 737 MAX crashes. We hope this recidivist corporation finally gets its comeuppance.5. The Federal Communications Commission has issued a rule banning AI-generated voices in robocalls. Specifically, the commission expressed grave concern about the potential for manipulation of voters in the upcoming presidential election. AI-generated voices in these calls would likely be capable of deceiving voters into thinking that public figures had endorsed a particular candidate when they have not.6. Gothamist reports at least 70 current and former employees of the New York City Housing Authority have been arrested on bribery and corruption charges. According to the report, “superintendents, assistant superintendents and other NYCHA officials accepted more than $2 million in kickbacks from contractors in exchange for over $13 million in NYCHA business across at least 100 developments.” These corrupt bureaucrats manipulated no-bid contracts in a “pay-to-play” scheme to grant these contracts to contractors that paid them off. Federal prosecutors are calling this “the largest single-day bribery takedown in the history of the justice department.”7. According to More Perfect Union, “Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says his state will purchase $1 billion of residents' medical debt for just $6.5 million. Then he will cancel it all, abolishing medical debt for 250,000 people. This is the first time a state has forgiven medical debt at a massive scale.” This demonstrates what is possible for Democrats at the state and federal level. No excuses.8. UFCW Local 400 reports that the FRESHFARM workers have ratified their first contract. This marks the culmination of the first-in-the-nation successful farmer's market unionization effort. Among other provisions, this contract includes “Higher wages…Vacation time…Improved workplace conditions and safety standards…[and] Grievance and arbitration procedures.” Yuval Lev, a market operator who was on the union's bargaining committee said “We're proud to codify these hard-fought gains in this historic contract and continue doing the work we love to serve the community.”9. VOX reports the U.S. has been pressuring Mexican President AMLO to help stem the flow of migrants across their northern border. But, signaling that Mexico will no longer blindly do the bidding of the United States, AMLO has demanded certain conditions from the U.S. if they want his help. These include “suspending the US blockade of Cuba, dropping all sanctions against Venezuela, and giving work permits and protection from deportation to at least 10 million Hispanic people living in the US.” Yet, this eminently reasonable set of demands is considered a non-starter within the Washington foreign policy consensus.10. Finally, Pope Francis has responded to conservative critics blasting him for allowing the church to bless same-sex marriages. Speaking to Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pope Francis said “No one is scandalized if I give my blessing to an entrepreneur who perhaps exploits people: and this is a very serious sin. But they get scandalized if I give it to a homosexual….This is hypocrisy!”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Richard Nixon är för många synonym med Watergate-skandalen. Men enligt Mattias Hagberg la Nixon grunden för en framgångsrik politik präglad av splittring. En politik som nu spridit sig över världen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 2018-05-02.Kort efter Richard Nixons död och begravning 1994 beskrev veckotidningen LA Weekly en rad märkliga fenomen. En säkerhetsvakt på Nixon Library and Museum, där den före detta presidenten just blivit begravd, berättade att han en natt sett ett märkligt grönt och fluorescerande ljus ovanför Nixons gravsten. En annan natt hade han sett en man kliva in i Nixons arbetsrum fast dörren var låst. Och vid ytterligare andra tillfällen hade han hört märkliga ljud från museets utställning om Watergateskandalen, bara för att nästa dag upptäcka att utställningens apparater inte funkade som de skulle.I artikeln berättade även flera besökare att de sett en mystisk gestalt och känt en märklig kall vind när de vandrat genom museet.LA Weekly gav inte mycket för historierna. Rapporteringen kring Nixons spöke var mest kuriosa. Samtidigt går det inte att komma ifrån att bilden av Nixon som en gengångare är talande. Frågan är om han inte hemsöker vår värld mer än vi faktiskt tror. Frågan är om han inte är ett politiskt spöke – närmast osynlig, men betydelsefull.Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidorNär Nixon lämnade Vita huset med svansen mellan benen i augusti 1974 var det många amerikaner som drog en suck av lättnad. Äntligen skulle landet kunna återgå till ett normalt tillstånd efter månader av märkliga turer kring inbrottet i demokraternas kampanjhögkvarter i Watergate i juni 1972.Nixon var på många sätt en politisk bondfångare, en demokratisk charlatan, en bedragare. Watergateskandalen var bara ett av många demokratiska övertramp. Faktum är att få amerikanska politiker har bettet sig så vårdslöst med sitt ämbete som just Nixon.Skandalerna har också präglat Nixons eftermäle. Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidor, även för oss som inte var tillräckligt gamla eller ens födda vid den här tiden.Men Nixon var också något annat. Något djupare. Något som först blivit tydligt under de senaste decennierna.”Jag är övertygad om att andra halvan av nittonhundratalet kommer att bli känt som Nixons. Han är den mest betydelsefulla offentliga personen i vår tid”, slog den republikanske senatorn Robert Dole fast i sitt tal vid Nixons begravning. Han var en stor beundrare av Nixon och ville självklart understryka hans betydelse. Men samma tankegång återfinns i flera av de senaste årens mest intressanta böcker om Nixon, skrivna av journalister och forskare långt från den amerikanska högern. Mest läsvärda är historikern David Greenbergs välskrivna ”Nixon's shadow” (2003), journalisten Rick Perlsteins monumentala ”Nixonland” (2008), kulturteoretikern Carl Freedmans nätta men högintressanta ”The Age of Nixon” (2012) och författaren John Farrells ”Nixon – The Life” (2017).Vad var det då Nixon gjorde? Varför kan det vara värdefullt att tala om Nixons skugga, om Nixons tidsålder eller om USA som ett Nixonland?För att förstå måste man söka sig tillbaka till tiden innan Nixon vann presidentvalet 1968.Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. [...] Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare.Sextiotalet var en mörk period för den amerikanska högern och för stora delar av den ekonomiska eliten: det republikanska partiet var splittrat, vänstervågen sköljde över universiteten, de svarta var i uppror, kvinnor och homosexuella kämpade framgångsrikt för sin frigörelse, samtidigt som demokraterna genomförde den ena välfärdsreformen efter den andra.Bakom sextiotalets uppror och politiska reformer låg stora och djupa förändringar av det amerikanska samhället. Den institutionella rasismen låg på slaktbänken, fackföreningsrörelsen hade expanderat kraftigt sedan trettiotalet och den ekonomiska jämlikheten var större än någonsin som en följd av statligt ingripande i ekonomin.Ekonomen och Nobelpristagaren Paul Krugman brukar tala om ”den stora komprimeringen” för att beskriva utvecklingen i USA decennierna efter depressionen. Vad det handlade om var en kraftfull utjämning av de ekonomiska skillnaderna i landet.Vanliga löntagare och deras politiska representanter utmanade med andra ord den ekonomiska eliten och deras makt över det amerikanska samhället. Under några år framstod det faktiskt som om USA höll på att utvecklas till en modern välfärdsstat efter nordeuropeiskt snitt.Men sen kom Nixon. Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. På några få år vred han utvecklingen i en helt annan riktning. Den stora komprimeringen blev en parentes. Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare.Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer...Trots sin brist på utstrålning lyckades Nixon upprätta starka känslomässiga band till stora delar av den amerikanska väljarkåren. Framför allt lyckades han spalta upp det politiska landskapet efter nya stridslinjer. Han fick medelamerikanen att känna sig mer hotad av ”dom där nere” än av ”dom där uppe”.Det oroliga sextiotalet var självfallet ovanligt god jordmån för detta förvandlingsnummer. Allt verkade stå på spel: familjen, sexualiteten, religionen, patriarkatet, moralen – you name it.Nixon spelade effektivt på många amerikaners oro för denna utveckling och på deras föreställningar om sig själva. Enligt Nixon var USA ett land av fria och hårt arbetande kärnfamiljer som nu pressades av feminister och allmän oordning, av arbetsmoralens förfall och av de svartas förmenta lättja.Hans fixering vid lag och ordning, hans förakt för avvikelser, hans dåligt kamouflerade rasism och hans allmänt rigida livshållning – allt blev effektiv rekvisita i en nygammal berättelse om Amerika.Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer, en närmast oändlig villaidyll som hotades av brottslingar, narkomaner och annat ”slödder”. Men också av den nya kultureliten – det vill säga studenterna, journalisterna och kulturarbetarna – som enligt Nixon ingått en ohelig allians med samhällets alla orosmakare.Mot kultureliten och den farliga underklassen ställde han den ”tysta majoriteten”, det vill säga det riktiga folket som knöt näven i fickan och drömde sig tillbaka till det trygga och fina femtiotalet.Känns det igen?Inte så konstigt.Nixon var en av den första, ja, kanske till och med den första moderna politiker som på allvar lyckades flytta fokus från frågor om ekonomi och rättvisa till frågor om värderingar, och han var först med att göra lag och ordning till den dominerande frågan i politiken. Under hans tid påbörjades en förflyttning av politikens kärnkonflikt som vi fortfarande lever med. Nixon var en pionjär. Han såg och utnyttjade spänningen mellan det liberala och det auktoritära långt före någon annan politiker, samtidigt som han strök den klassiska konflikten mellan arbete och kapital ur ekvationen. Han talade aldrig om den ekonomiska eliten, om de superrika. Nej, den ekonomiska makten lämnade han i fred. Hoten kom alltid nedifrån.Den förskjutning av politikens centrum som Nixon påbörjade har efter hand spritt sig över hela västvärlden. Moral- och värderingsfrågor samt lag och ordning har blivit favoritområden för västerländska politiker som inte vill störa den ekonomiska ordningen.Man kan, utan att överdriva, påstå att vi alla idag lever med Nixons spöke.Mattias Hagberg, författare

Rick Perlstein is the author of a series of books on the rise of the American right, sprawling works of narrative history that are both rigorously-researched and highly entertaining. Among them is Before the Storm, which examines the band of conservative activists who spearheaded Barry Goldwater’s failed 1964 Presidential campaign, and Nixonland, which chronicles how Richard Nixon exploited the backlash to the 1960s to forge a powerful new brand of conservative politics. On today’s show, Rick talks about another historian who has deeply influenced him: Garry Wills. Wills is the author of more than fifty books, on subjects ranging from Augustine’s Confessions to John Wayne to Ronald Reagan. Like Rick, Wills began his career as a journalist and never received a PhD in history. In this conversation, Rick talks about the qualities he most admires in Wills, among them his unpredictability and his lack of deference to power. He also discusses the importance of morality in both their work, and how Rick’s views of the conservative movement have evolved over time.

Hey everyone, I'm happy to once again bring you another episode of The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. This time around I have another great interview. I'm talking to Brandie, host of True North Radio and we talk a lot about politics and prisons in Saskatchewan. I had to cut this down a bit again but if you want the full interview then you can find the slightly longer version by becoming a patron, or you can email me at mindofaskepticalleftist@gmail.com to tell me you want a copy of the audio or a link to the video. Then I have a short section for Ask an Anarchist, I added a bit of post conversation commentary but I think this will be the last of the episodes with Rene and then I'll move onto questions and comments I received on Tiktok and Instagram . Then we have Red Reviews number 9 where we talk about Nixonland by Rick Perlstein and then you get about 10 minutes of Anarchist Reading Corner where I read an excerpt from the book The Anarchist Turn. https://skepticalleftistpod.wordpress.com/2021/08/20/prisons-and-politics-w-brandie-from-true-north-radio/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/skepticalleftist/message

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/richard-nixon-vs-cool In the highlights post on class, I wrote: When I was in middle school, I used to wonder - there are cool kids and uncool kids, right? But suppose all the uncool kids agreed to think of themselves as cool, and to make fun of the currently-cool kids. Then you would just have two groups of kids, each considering themselves superior and looking down on the other. And the currently-uncool-kid group would be bigger and probably win, insofar as it’s possible to win these things. So why don’t they do that? I have lots of partial answers, but still no satisfying one. I feel the same way about the [cultural] upper class. IR responded in the comments: In Rick Perlstein's excellent "Nixonland", he says that Richard Nixon had exactly this idea in college, and managed to make it work pretty well. He also ties this in to Nixon's future success at building a Republican "silent majority" coalition of anti-hippie reaction vs. the latte-sipping NYT-reading 70s liberal "consensus". If I may quote at length:
In this first episode, I read excerpts from the following texts: *A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare* by James Shapiro -- secretly setting-up The Globe*The Wars of Reconstruction* by Douglas Egerton -- violent losers*The Electric Life of Michael Faraday* by Alan Hirshfeld -- almost missing the transformer*Nixonland* by Rick Perlstein -- multiple burglaries*Why Poetry* by Matthew Zapruder -- taking your head off
Finally, we've reached the moment we've all been waiting for. Well, the moment that I've been waiting for: The Nixon portion of the proceedings. Here is where we begin sharing in earnest our interview with Rick Perlstein, preeminent chronicler of the rise of the conservative movement in the mid-20th century. We talk about the conspiracist lunacy that underpinned Goldwater's '64 campaign, and how paranoia and suspicion fueled the rise of the Trickster. Next time, Watergate. Until then, join the Facebook group, email us at theparanoidstrain at gmail dot com, and spread the word. Notes: Rick Perlstein: Just buy all of his books, already. They're great. But especially buy Nixonland. Trust me. All music Copyright 2020, The Paranoid Strain Orchestra Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kyle says capitalism has influence on systemic issues He says that people who embody psychedelic influences, are typically ethical Being capitalistic, usually equates to bad ethics, but how do we embody the psychedelic wisdom to create a new model and change the capitalistic model to be more ethical? Capitalism Is capitalism really bad? Imagine how capitalism would look if it were run by women and people of color, individuals who systematically don't operate with power Imagine if companies were run by ethics, and not by money or power Final Thoughts At NorthStar, there are 3 women in high leadership positions Dave wants to see more women and people of color in leadership positions Dave says he is so proud by the leadership who runs NorthStar Links NorthStar We Will Call it Pala About Dave McGaughey Dave McGaughey serves as Creative Director for Auryn Project, a non-profit incubator in the psychedelic field supporting heart-lead, highly effective organizations scaling equitable, affordable psychedelic medicine.

Before becoming the co-host of Pod Save America, Dan Pfeiffer spent most of his adult life in Democratic Party politics, which included serving as White House communications director for President Barack Obama. But in his new book Un-Trumping America, the former operative levels some sharp criticism toward the party he came of political age in. Contrary to the rhetoric of the leading Democratic presidential candidate, Pfeiffer doesn’t think of Donald Trump as the source of our current social and political ills, and he doesn’t believe that beating Trump will bring about a return to “normalcy.” For Pfeiffer, Trump is a symptom of much deeper forces in our politics — forces that will continue to proliferate unless Democrats get serious about, among other things, genuine structural reform. Among the things we discuss: - Pfeiffer’s view that Donald Trump is the favorite in 2020 - Why the core divide in the Democratic Party isn’t progressive vs. moderate - The flaws in both Sanders and Biden’s theories of institutional change - The way Obama looms over the Democratic primary — perhaps even more than Trump does - The case for, and against, filibuster reform - Pfeiffer’s biggest regret from inside the Obama administration - What working with Joe Biden is like - Why the Obama White House didn’t rally around Biden in 2016 - The damage the political consultant class does to Democrats - What the left got wrong about the Democratic Party - Why Democrats need to prioritize democracy itself References: Ezra's profile of Joe Biden Book recommendations: Nixonland by Rick Perlstein The Known World by Edward P.

Richard Nixon är för många synonym med Watergate-skandalen. Men enligt Mattias Hagberg la Nixon grunden för en framgångsrik politik präglad av splittring. En politik som nu spridit sig över världen. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Kort efter Richard Nixons död och begravning 1994 beskrev veckotidningen LA Weekly en rad märkliga fenomen. En säkerhetsvakt på Nixon Library and Museum, där den före detta presidenten just blivit begravd, berättade att han en natt sett ett märkligt grönt och fluorescerande ljus ovanför Nixons gravsten. En annan natt hade han sett en man kliva in i Nixons arbetsrum fast dörren var låst. Och vid ytterligare andra tillfällen hade han hört märkliga ljud från museets utställning om Watergateskandalen, bara för att nästa dag upptäcka att utställningens apparater inte funkade som de skulle. I artikeln berättade även flera besökare att de sett en mystisk gestalt och känt en märklig kall vind när de vandrat genom museet. LA Weekly gav inte mycket för historierna. Rapporteringen kring Nixons spöke var mest kuriosa. Samtidigt går det inte att komma ifrån att bilden av Nixon som en gengångare är talande. Frågan är om han inte hemsöker vår värld mer än vi faktiskt tror. Frågan är om han inte är ett politiskt spöke närmast osynlig, men betydelsefull. Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidor När Nixon lämnade Vita huset med svansen mellan benen i augusti 1974 var det många amerikaner som drog en suck av lättnad. Äntligen skulle landet kunna återgå till ett normalt tillstånd efter månader av märkliga turer kring inbrottet i demokraternas kampanjhögkvarter i Watergate i juni 1972. Nixon var på många sätt en politisk bondfångare, en demokratisk charlatan, en bedragare. Watergateskandalen var bara ett av många demokratiska övertramp. Faktum är att få amerikanska politiker har bettet sig så vårdslöst med sitt ämbete som just Nixon. Skandalerna har också präglat Nixons eftermäle. Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidor, även för oss som inte var tillräckligt gamla eller ens födda vid den här tiden. Men Nixon var också något annat. Något djupare. Något som först blivit tydligt under de senaste decennierna. Jag är övertygad om att andra halvan av nittonhundratalet kommer att bli känt som Nixons. Han är den mest betydelsefulla offentliga personen i vår tid, slog den republikanske senatorn Robert Dole fast i sitt tal vid Nixons begravning. Han var en stor beundrare av Nixon och ville självklart understryka hans betydelse. Men samma tankegång återfinns i flera av de senaste årens mest intressanta böcker om Nixon, skrivna av journalister och forskare långt från den amerikanska högern. Mest läsvärda är historikern David Greenbergs välskrivna Nixons shadow (2003), journalisten Rick Perlsteins monumentala Nixonland (2008), kulturteoretikern Carl Freedmans nätta men högintressanta The Age of Nixon (2012) och författaren John Farrells Nixon The Life (2017). Vad var det då Nixon gjorde? Varför kan det vara värdefullt att tala om Nixons skugga, om Nixons tidsålder eller om USA som ett Nixonland? För att förstå måste man söka sig tillbaka till tiden innan Nixon vann presidentvalet 1968. Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. [...] Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare. Sextiotalet var en mörk period för den amerikanska högern och för stora delar av den ekonomiska eliten: det republikanska partiet var splittrat, vänstervågen sköljde över universiteten, de svarta var i uppror, kvinnor och homosexuella kämpade framgångsrikt för sin frigörelse, samtidigt som demokraterna genomförde den ena välfärdsreformen efter den andra. Bakom sextiotalets uppror och politiska reformer låg stora och djupa förändringar av det amerikanska samhället. Den institutionella rasismen låg på slaktbänken, fackföreningsrörelsen hade expanderat kraftigt sedan trettiotalet och den ekonomiska jämlikheten var större än någonsin som en följd av statligt ingripande i ekonomin. Ekonomen och Nobelpristagaren Paul Krugman brukar tala om den stora komprimeringen för att beskriva utvecklingen i USA decennierna efter depressionen. Vad det handlade om var en kraftfull utjämning av de ekonomiska skillnaderna i landet. Vanliga löntagare och deras politiska representanter utmanade med andra ord den ekonomiska eliten och deras makt över det amerikanska samhället. Under några år framstod det faktiskt som om USA höll på att utvecklas till en modern välfärdsstat efter nordeuropeiskt snitt. Men sen kom Nixon. Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. På några få år vred han utvecklingen i en helt annan riktning. Den stora komprimeringen blev en parentes. Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare. Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer... Trots sin brist på utstrålning lyckades Nixon upprätta starka känslomässiga band till stora delar av den amerikanska väljarkåren. Framför allt lyckades han spalta upp det politiska landskapet efter nya stridslinjer. Han fick medelamerikanen att känna sig mer hotad av dom där nere än av dom där uppe. Det oroliga sextiotalet var självfallet ovanligt god jordmån för detta förvandlingsnummer. Allt verkade stå på spel: familjen, sexualiteten, religionen, patriarkatet, moralen you name it. Nixon spelade effektivt på många amerikaners oro för denna utveckling och på deras föreställningar om sig själva. Enligt Nixon var USA ett land av fria och hårt arbetande kärnfamiljer som nu pressades av feminister och allmän oordning, av arbetsmoralens förfall och av de svartas förmenta lättja. Hans fixering vid lag och ordning, hans förakt för avvikelser, hans dåligt kamouflerade rasism och hans allmänt rigida livshållning allt blev effektiv rekvisita i en nygammal berättelse om Amerika. Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer, en närmast oändlig villaidyll som hotades av brottslingar, narkomaner och annat slödder. Men också av den nya kultureliten det vill säga studenterna, journalisterna och kulturarbetarna som enligt Nixon ingått en ohelig allians med samhällets alla orosmakare. Mot kultureliten och den farliga underklassen ställde han den tysta majoriteten, det vill säga det riktiga folket som knöt näven i fickan och drömde sig tillbaka till det trygga och fina femtiotalet. Känns det igen? Inte så konstigt. Nixon var en av den första, ja, kanske till och med den första moderna politiker som på allvar lyckades flytta fokus från frågor om ekonomi och rättvisa till frågor om värderingar, och han var först med att göra lag och ordning till den dominerande frågan i politiken. Under hans tid påbörjades en förflyttning av politikens kärnkonflikt som vi fortfarande lever med. Nixon var en pionjär. Han såg och utnyttjade spänningen mellan det liberala och det auktoritära långt före någon annan politiker, samtidigt som han strök den klassiska konflikten mellan arbete och kapital ur ekvationen. Han talade aldrig om den ekonomiska eliten, om de superrika. Nej, den ekonomiska makten lämnade han i fred. Hoten kom alltid nedifrån. Den förskjutning av politikens centrum som Nixon påbörjade har efter hand spritt sig över hela västvärlden. Moral- och värderingsfrågor samt lag och ordning har blivit favoritområden för västerländska politiker som inte vill störa den ekonomiska ordningen. Man kan, utan att överdriva, påstå att vi alla idag lever med Nixons spöke. Mattias Hagberg, författare

Rick Perlstein, bestselling author of Nixonland and historian of the conservative movement, joins host Lindsay Beyerstein for a discussion of Donald Trump's attacks on the press. Perlstein argues that Trump is the ultimate Richard Nixon Republican, from his love-hate relationship with mass media to his preoccupation with vendettas. While Nixon usually kept his gripes against the media private, Trump has made his battle with the media the signature fight of his administration. His tirades are also mobilizing bands of right-wing trolls to harass journalists online. As Trump's popularity falls and the frustrations of his supporters rise, the situation is becoming increasingly explosive. Recommended Reading: I Found HanAssholeSolo's anti-Semitic Posts.

As things get worse for Donald Trump, he's likely to become more irrational and dangerous, says Sasha Abramsky of The Nation. Also--Trump is NOT like Nixon--that's what Rick Perlstein says. He wrote the classic "Nixonland."

The hedge-fund magnate Robert Mercer was probably the most important backer of Trump for president. Jane Mayer of The New Yorker has the first in-depth report on this little-known figure and former Breitbart News funder. Also: Is Trump like Nixon? Both won by exploiting the resentments of the white working class; both covered up crimes committed by their campaigns against the Democrats. But Rick Perlstein, author of the classic book 'Nixonland,' says the answer is no: Trump is not like Nixon.

Plus: Tom Hayden finished a book on the antiwar movement of the sixties before he died in October: Hell No: The Forgotten Power of the Vietnam Peace Movement. It’s out now from Yale University Press. Steve Wasserman, Tom’s editor and publisher, comments.
With great power, comes great responsibility, so we are told by Voltaire and Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben. It’s something we learn anew with each presidency, as the person who holds the office must decide how they will wield the power they’ve been given. For Richard Nixon, power was something to be used in the service of itself, to be maintained and defended at all costs. Soon to be our 45th president, Donald Trump comes to the office with some striking similarities to the 37th, complete with “enemies lists” and paranoid vendettas against foes real and imagined. To give us some historical perspective about the comparison between Trump and Nixon, we welcome historian, author, and journalist Rick Perlstein. Peristein is the bestselling author of Nixonland and Before the Storm, about the conservative movement sparked by Barry Goldwater. His newest book is The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and The Rise of Reagan. Perlstein recently published his latest critical analysis of Trump and Nixon in The New Republic, in an expose entitled "He’s Making a List."
Rick Pearlstein joins the Q to discuss his books called Nixonland and The Invisible Brdge. Mark, Jason, Bobby and Schep talk to him about the Donald Trump presidency and who he thinks he most resembles out of past presidents. He discusses the upcoming of the republican party through the 60's into the 70's and 80's , and drops some pearls of wisdom that he uncovered while researching the book. This is the Christmas show and Mark and Bobby bring back a present for the The Q show listeners, they do a Game on/Game off. Also Mark is having a problem with Samsung regarding his 9 month old washing machine and the team decides whether Mark is just being sensitive or if he has legitimate concern against the company. And finally, Santa has a naughty and nice list and there are some common naughty things that people in the US prescribe to. Do any of the cast fall into these locations...find out on the Last Q of 2016!

Historian Rick Perlstein returns to Virtually Speaking to discuss his new book, The Invisible Bridge. Blogger extraordinaire Digby joins us as guest interviewer. RIck has described Digby this way: My other favorite political writer, Heather Parton, blogs under the name “Digby.” Daily for over 10 years she's been unleashing a fire hose of brilliance on the fecklessness of the Democrats, the craziness of the Republicans and especially the way that what we now call the “culture wars” has been seared into our national DNA at least since the Civil War. In the acknowledgments to “Nixonland,” I called her the other half of my brain. We're delighted to have them both here tonight.
We often think of the 60’s as a time when the left was in the ascendancy. When great social movements, like the women's movement, the antiwar movement and the civil rights movement were given their birth. In fact, arguably, the most lasting legacy of the 60’s maybe the rise of modern conservatism.The history of modern conservatism and of the current Republican party has its beginnings in the early 1960’s and continues into the confusion we see in the party today.Rick Perlstein has been one of our most astute chroniclers of that history, beginning with his examination of Barry Goldwater in Before the Storm, and through his look at the 60’s and 70’s in Nixonland.Now Pearlstein takes us to the next phase, in his examination of the handoff of the party from Nixon to Reagan in The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan.But more than a political story, it’s the story of the transformation of America. A time when America suffered its first military defeat, was shocked by the oil crisis, the hostage crises, inflation, stagflation, a criminal Presidency, a rogue CIA, and more. But it also became a time when as a solution to our multiple problems, reality gave way to fantasy; when facts gave way to fiction, when like television or the movies, make believe would take us to the place we’d rather be. And leading that transformation was Ronald Reagan.My conversation with Rick Perlstein:
This is a rerun of Jay Ackroyd's interview with Rick Perlstein, about his monumental tour de force, Nixonland. Rick is one of the nation's leading popular historians, and, until now, the capstone of his career. He has actually exceeded himself in his latest book, The Invisible Bridge. He will be discussing that book with Digby as our guest host on August 28.
