Had the chance to share a few thoughts this week about the failure of DC & the future of our country. Bottom line: The biggest divide of our time is between political agenda of the elite & the great middle of our society. We must forge a new consensushttps://youtu.be/KPAUQKY9Jyw?t=63 …
Today’s leadership elite is a “cosmopolitan” elite in the way defined by Prof Martha Nussbaum: “the cosmopolitan [is] the person whose primary allegiance is to the community of human beings in the entire world,” not to a “specifically American identity”http://bostonreview.net/martha-nussbaum-patriotism-and-cosmopolitanism …
And the cosmopolitan agenda of hyper-globalization & disrespect for the American middle has been bad for workers, bad for families, bad for America. We must replace it with a better agenda focused on the great middle of our society & what binds us together as Americans
Horrifying: Hawley explicitly states ONLY "real Americans" did not finish college, work w/ their hands, live in Midwest. Implicit: they are White & male. Further, he notes people who live in cities or coasts, w/ college education, are not loyal to US. All Americans are American.
For too long we accepted this "real American" ideal of white men in diners in Midwest w/o thinking about how it sets us up for the more hardcore white nationalism we see today. Further, as Hawley rails against big corps, he backs taxes and regulation policy designed for them.
A glorious speech
Favorite part of the speech:https://twitter.com/columbiabugle/status/1151822419893424129?s=21 …
Define “cosmopolitan”
Pick me! I know exactly what he means when he says cosmopolitan. Spoiler alert : It's not a cocktail.
US Senator who went to expensive private Catholic high school, Stanford University and Yale has concerns about American elites.
Like taking away healthcare for the middle class or giving tax cuts to corporations?
