The US is no longer a wuss country with weak leaders being taking advantage of and paying for other country's dinner every night,
Who the hell cares that other moocher and looter countries are upset that the spigot is being closed and they have to pay their own way?
Does the rest of the world trust China? Do they trust China more than the US? If so, then in confirms they are just throwing an entitlement tantrum being forced to pay their own way.
The mainstream globalist corporatist media reporting the drop in trust for the US while it foments it. But in terms of trust, the mainstream globalist media polls as being the most distrusted institution on the planet. It is driven by corporate interests... you know the corporate interests that the US-funded global order continues to support corporate profit maximization and corporate primacy until the US is nothing but an empty shell.
It was years of Democratic progressive cultural dominance that led to institutional mistrust. An unaccountable administrative state is way out of step with the the public. So the blame a politically tendentious media, academy and administrative state for Trump.
Yes, Trump has broken many norms. And perhaps it is related to a drop in societal trust within America. Certainly Trump wasn't the first to show or increase the mistrust. I keep hearing "deplorables" ringing in the back of my mind. Of course it goes much further back. You could also argue that progressive pushes starting in the 90s (or earlier) were a cause of societal mistrust.
The owl of minerva flies at dusk, Dr. Fukuyama! It turns out that diversity and immigration were not our strengths after all, and led to collapse of trust and the surprise rise of populism. Of course, those who thought that the postwar Western consensus was the "the end of history" don't see it that way and blame other factors.
Francis I don't know why I even read your articles for they say the same, tired, repetitive comments castigating the democratically elected POTUS.
"There is a great deal of evidence that Donald Trump will be strongly repudiated in the midterms this coming November, and that the Democrats may retake not just the House of Representatives, but the Senate as well."
Yes, there is evidence that all Presidents in the modern era have lost seats in the midterms. The average number of losses is 27 seats, in some articles. So yes- democracy as written in the American Constitution is still going to happen, and what you predict may happen. So......????
It all started when we started bowling alone I guess 🤔 But seriously this is a social problem that is related to other issues like having a high crime rate and having an authoritarian government to control it. Low trust society’s are almost certainly going to have this problem more than high trust ones.
I'm refocusing and relaunching my online long-term citizen movement at EthicalGovtNow.org, to cluster all Americans currently concerned with the future of our country and how we will try to bend the arc of future history in their social and legislative favor. I'd truly value having you, as the renowned historian you are, on our non-profit's Advisory Board. Please feel free to contact me at peter@EthicalGovtNow.org and I will be extremely pleased to supply details.
It is important to note that Denmark has extremely strong immigration rules. If a non Dane marries a person who is not from an EU country that person has no right to live in Denmark with their Danish spouse.

Absolutely perfectly stated and explained, in clear, not fussy, straightforward language
