Very interesting piece which covers a range of reasonable perspectives. Trump is not a postmodernist but he is taking advantage of an epistemological shift postmodernism was hugely influential in producing. I argued this at the Battle of Ideas. https://conatusnews.com/academic-roots-post-truth-society/ …https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/956501201981501440 …

It's a fine piece, having now read it, and appreciate you having wrote it. I think my only thoughts: There is some need for ethnic identity (left) and some need for spirituality (right; while perhaps not=religion) in a society. These are values not well understood by moderns.

So, in addition to standing up for itself, there needs to be intelligent co-option of those values within a modern framework. You then may have what people have variously referred to as metamodern, reconstructive postmodernism, or integralism.
