The Bernie story feels kinda like matrix sequel. The shock value of the original (Trump) shattering of normalcy is gone. One way it another it’s 4 more years of populist winter. Politics is now officially the B-plot of the Great Weirding.

Either way, expectations of politics 2020-24: 55% emboldened and worse near-fascism, 25% marginally better thanks to better personal integrity at top with reversed polarity socialist populism, 20% lame failed attempt to return to 2015 technocratism that will be mostly harmless.

Vote etc, but then get back to the A-plot: infrastructure of global economy. The culture war and populist politics stuff is now a sideshow freak tent. The main event has started in the big tent. Welcome to the anthropocene. Covid-19 will be Act 1 ringmaster.
