    The lasting achievement of Trump will be to convince the broader right to give up the facade of economic liberalism and speak forthrightly in the language of ethnic nationalism and patriarchy.https://twitter.com/GeoffPolHist/status/1064293550584557568 …

        It's a cloak of fascism. Or close to it.

        I can't read that article - paywalled - but, looking at what Maxime Bernier (rather than Harper) is doing, I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "giving up the facade of economic liberalism". Bernier is just openly taking libertarianism to its authoritarian natural conclusion.

        If he's saying the same thing as here: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-worried-about-the-current-populist-upheaval-what-comes-next-will-be/ … then it's nothing different than everyone has been trying to tell the political establishment. People are falling behind and casting about for solutions, whichever party addresses that wins.

        "Ignore it at your peril" is completely right but many political leaders are competing to see who can ignore it the most.

        Actually, Trump has adopted the standard conservative policy of deregulation and corporate welfare so I don't see there's any change at all on "economic liberalism". That's why conservatives have no problems with Trump's economic policies.

        Do they intend to starve the poor to death then? or just have Bannon ship up his goons to shoot us? The Canadian arm of the NRA is getting vocal and violent so they may just need leadership to pull the triggers.
