Unless We Pressure Him to the Right, Trump Will Be Like France’s Macron | 7/8/24

We are headed on a path toward Europe … unless we pressure Trump to the right and start building a parallel, independent movement in the red states. I begin by analyzing the French and British elections. Because the Right in those countries allowed the uniparty to fester for so long, conservatives are now in a permanent minority. We are headed in the same direction, except our system of governance has one escape hatch: federalism. We can still govern fully in large swaths of the country, if we only built upon the growing success of taking over state parties, electing better governors, and strengthening the state Freedom Caucuses. But this is where Trump comes in. Trump has now carpet-bombed Project 2025, which was an agenda on policy and personnel that would actually have made his administration MAGA. I explain how revealing and devastating Trump’s decision is and how he will betray us like there is no tomorrow unless we start holding him accountable. If we don’t, we will be worse off than Europe because Trump governs like Macron but has the adoration of the Right as if he were Le Pen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
