Judging from Donald Trump’s cabinet choices, it turns out that a narcissistic billionaire who doesn’t pay taxes might not be a working-class champion after all.
Here’s what bothers me: Long before Trump came along we were entirely free to say merry Christmas to each other. Our political leaders could say it, too.
Nothing would do more to energize social-justice movements than a broad-based coalition able to break through the impasse of abortion politics in the United States.
What might be more important about Trump's election is that the phenomenon seems part of a broader “populist” movement sweeping through most advanced countries.
