Robert Stark and Alex von Goldstein talk to Keith Preston about his essay\u00a0Donald Trump and the Return of Liberalism<\/a><\/p>\n

Topics include:<\/p>\n

The three waves of Liberalism,\u00a0classical liberalism<\/a>,\u00a0reform liberalism<\/a>, and\u00a0neoliberalism<\/a>
\nNeoliberalism, which is essentially a hybrid of capitalism and social democracy<\/a>\u00a0under the managerial state, starting under Jimmy Carter, and accelerating under Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton
\nNoam Chomsky: Richard Nixon Was ‘Last Liberal President’<\/a>
\nHow the election of Donald Trump represents a mass repudiation of Neoliberalism
\nHillary Clinton as the candidate who epitomizes Neoliberalism, and neglected the working class base of the Democratic Party
\nHow many people on the left such as\u00a0Slavoj Zizek<\/a>\u00a0supported Trump over Clinton
\nWhy Keith believes Bernie Sanders could of defeated Trump
\nHow a recent article in The Atlantic, a liberal publication<\/a>, admitted mainstream American liberalism has transformed into a kind of left-wing capitalism
\nHow\u00a0many mainstream conservatives and Republicans<\/a>, simultaneously\u00a0warned that Trump was a dangerous racist, sexist, xenophobe, and Fascist, and not authentic conservative enough
\nKeith\u00a0compares Trump to a Nelson Rockefeller,<\/a>\u00a0who\u00a0ran as George Wallace in the GOP primaries<\/a> before reinventing himself as Ross Perot<\/a> in the general election campaign
\nHow\u00a0Wallace was a symbol of right-wing populism, but also a New Deal Democrat<\/a> and Perot was one of the most outspoken critics of neoliberalism <\/a>in the in the last 30 years
\nHow the New Deal (reform liberalism) under FDR involved an alliance of Southern segregationists (like Wallace) <\/a>and Northern liberals who were advocates of civil rights<\/a>
\nThe decline of social conservatism, how Trump won that vot, despite his moderate social views, and how social conservatives are moving to the left economically
\nTrump’s Surprising Transportation Priorities<\/a>
\nTrump\u2019s climate change denial and interest in expanding the use of fossil fuels<\/a>
\nThe new political realignment, and Trump’s appeal to working class white swing voters with issues of trade, immigration, and preserving social safety nets
\nTrump’s economic policies include,\u00a0labor protectionism<\/a>,\u00a0preserving the working to middle class social safety net<\/a>,\u00a0 reforming rather than abolishing Obamacare<\/a>,\u00a0new benefits to working women with children<\/a>, and one of the most liberal reforms of student loan debt policy <\/a>
\nHowever Trump’s tax plan is based on\u00a0supply side economists<\/a>
\nTrump Could Place Media In Antitrust Crosshairs<\/a>
\nHow Trump’s civil liberty stances turned off libertarian leaning voters, and his environmental stances well educated ones, and whether a hypothetical candidate to the left of Trump on those issues could build a successful new political coalition
\nThe demise of Conservatism INC., and whether the future of the GOP is a “Centrist Nationalism,” similar to Marine Le Pen’s\u00a0National Front<\/a>\u00a0in France
\nWhile not a Trump support, Keith is sympathetic to his anti-neocon views on US-Russia relations<\/a>,\u00a0his opposition to toppling Assad<\/a>, and his criticism of the US alliance with the Gulf States
\nHow\u00a0Rudy Giuliani the Front-Runner for Secretary of State<\/a>\u00a0has a Neoconservative background, but is primarily a career\u00a0opportunist, and has recently adopted Trump’s foreign policy outlook
\nKeith’s main disagreement with Trump is his support for the surveillance state and the militarization of the police
\nWhy Keith thinks the Alt-Right might be disappointed with Trump, and that Trump may make compromises on immigration<\/p>\n
