  • Flouting the Establishment
    Flouting The Establishment February 18, 2020 Category: Domestic Politics Download as PDF If those who are not ideologically-committed to the ultra-right-wing want a desirable outcome in the 2020 presidential election, it is important they understand why NON-ultra-right-wing endeavors (encompassing Progressives and corporatist Democrats alike) imploded four years earlier. It was not because the Democratic candidate was too far to the “Left”. And it certainly was not because she was too populist…let alone too Progressive. It was because Hillary Clinton–the only alternative to Donald Trump–was off- putting to many swing voters. There were two main reasons for this: She countenanced some of the daft pieties of political correct-ness, which many swing-voters found off-putting. As a corporatist Democrat, she was effectively the vicar of the very thing that on-the-fence voters were so set against: the “Establishment”. There were, of course, a confluence of factors that led to the disastrous outcome in 2016–among them: the glaring inauthenticity of Trump’s adversary (not to mention the DNC’s now-exposed machinations to prevent Bernie Sanders from receiving the Democratic nomination). {1} As I hope to show here, these two factors explain Clinton’s loss. Indeed, they represented things for which the rank and file had–and continues to have–contempt; and for very good reason. (The fact that Clinton ran what Barack Obama described as a “scripted, soul-less campaign” didn’t help either.) There are effectual and ineffectual ways to promote Progressive ideals; and the 2016 election illustrated–more than anything else–what NOT to do.

  • N.J. Robinson Impossibilities No Longer Stood in the Way
    My Affairs A MEMOIR OF THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY (2016-2076) N.J. Robinson Impossibilities no longer stood in the way. One’s life had fattened on impossibilities. Before the boy was six years old, he had seen four impossibilities made actual—the ocean-steamer, the rail- way, the electric telegraph, and the Daguerreotype; nor could he ever learn which of the four had most hurried others to come… In 1850, science would have smiled at such a romance as this, but, in 1900, as far as history could learn, few men of science thought it a laughing matter. — The Education of Henry Adams I was emerging from these conferences amazed and exalted, con- vinced, one might say. It seemed to me that I traveled through Les Champs Elysées in a carriage pulled by two proud lions, turned into anti-lions, sweeter than lambs, only by the harmonic force; the dolphins and the whales, transformed into anti-dolphins and into anti-whales, made me sail gently on all the seas; the vul- tures, turned anti-vultures, carried me on their wings towards the heights of the heavens. Magnificent was the description of the beauties, the pleasures, and the delights of the spirit and the heart in the phalansterian city. — Ion Ghica My Affairs have been editing a magazine now for almost exactly sixty years. I hope to live a good while longer—life expectancy is shooting up so fast that now, at age eighty- Iseven, I may still not have reached my halfway point. Yet sixty is the sort of number that leads one to reflect.

    Laatste update 7 FEBRUARI 2021 - Published in the Netherlands BLOG AMERIKAANSE PRESIDENTSVERKIEZINGEN 2020 Van december 2018 t/m 22 januari 2021 heb ik op www.hansschoots.nl een doorlopende blog bijgehouden over de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen 2020. Daarvan hier een PDF-versie in 174 pagina’s. Hans Schoots is historicus en haalde zijn PhD aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij is onafhankelijk onderzoeker en schrijver over nieuwste geschiedenis, cultuur en samenleving. Zie CV op www.hansschoots.nl Volledig gebaseerd op Amerikaanse bronnen. Zie bronnenoverzicht achteraan. NA DE INAUGURATIE Joe Biden en Kamala Harris, zomer 2020 22-1-2021 – Het deed deugd om kort voor, tijdens en na de inauguratie van Joe Biden tot president van de Verenigde Staten ook in de Nederlandse pers enthousiasme en waardering voor Biden te horen. Dat is wel eens anders geweest. We hebben enkele correspondenten en commentatoren die allang vakkundigheid aan inzicht paren, maar er was al die tijd een meerderheid onder onze Amerika-experts en journalisten die alleen maar in schampere bewoordingen over Biden kon spreken sinds hij zich in mei 2019 in de Democratische Partij kandidaat stelde voor het hoogste ambt. Sinds die datum heeft hij, op een week of vier na, ononderbroken bovenaan gestaan bij de Democratische kiezers. Maar in Nederland gold hij bij velen als hooguit een soort noodzakelijk kwaad, want te rechts. Voor zover het al te vergelijken valt, is Biden in de Nederlandse verhoudingen ergens bij PvdA en D66 te situeren, met een vleug ChristenUnie, want Biden is een gelovig man. Opvallend is dat niet weinigen voor de VS een veel linkser recept aanbevalen, terwijl ze zelf in Nederland overwegend tot de PvdA- of D66-kiezers gerekend mogen worden.
