1. For someone was born, as I was, in the late 1960s, the recent discrediting of neoliberalism (at least on the rhetorical level) is bewildering even if welcome. Neo-liberalism has been the horizon of our life even if (or especially if) we opposed it.https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1176262794586533894 …

I’ll believe reports of it’s demise when I see any sign of a policy shift. Right now, it’s all empty promises.

It seems for some an impending climate disaster is actually decent motivation for changing the status quo (or at least nodding to it in rhetoric).

If a fundamental, hegemonic change takes a quarter century to happen, it's practically instantaneous. I don't think it can really happen quicker than that barring bloody revolution, and even then you're probably measuring the change in decades.

The Browning of America, given that the browns have been under the boot of neoliberalism for much of the last 40 years.

I think Trump, more than anything else, broke it, even on the left, by showing that the Reagan / Thatcher realignment was about race and cultural supremacy, not about economics, which undermined the entire argument for Democrats moving to the left economically.
-
ie. a lot of glib libertarians convinced Democrats to accept their ideas by arguing it would win them Republican votes (and framing Democratic successes post-Reagan as coming from that.) Trump showed that this is a lie - that Republican voters largely don't care about that.

Anti-liberal liberalism is a scent of fascism. That's what's happening. Trump's speech at the UN was explicitly classic liberal, "those most invested lead" and so on.

The many abrogated non-populist conservative ideas or pretexts such as state's rights, eg, the auto industry and these latest anti-regulation regulations, it is the fascist possessing the invisible hand. It is where neoliberal economics changes to neofascist economics
-
At the same time there is a universal, crude emphatic on race, sex, and other 'political' rights that classic liberals held up as the very limits of democracy. That this deeply liberal obsession is widely identified as 'radical left', shows that there is almost no hope at all.
