The Problem With Right-Wing ‘Regime’ Talk

Euless TX

Description

The emergence of “Regime” talk shows how ideas once on the fringe of the American right are becoming received wisdom. Above all, it demonstrates the right’s dangerous lack of commitment to democracy and the rule of law. Excerpts: "Middle American Radicals, focused on “crime, educational collapse, the erosion of their economic status, and the calculated subversion of their social, cultural, and national identity by forces that serve the interests of the elite above them and the underclass below them.” The goal was to “mobilize” Middle America “in radical opposition to the regime.” "The Regime: corrupt cosmopolitan elites in control of a powerful, sprawling and un-democratic state apparatus that aids frequently non-white allies while punishing decent Americans. Its attendant media class not only lies and dissembles, but its ideology permeates culture and deliberately erodes traditional values. Whatever was good about America has been overthrown in a slow-motion coup. And they are hysterically afraid of a populist uprising. thebulwark dot com/the-problem-with-right-wing-regime-talk/ mediabiasfactcheck dot com
