Heard about your Substack on Michael and us. Great news and keep up the positivity and analysis amidst the truly crushing shit show all around. He seems increasingly unhinged so maybe he will not last 4 years.
I think Peter Turchin’s explanation makes the most sense. What we are seeing is a different set of elites with wide public support. They want to change the bums in the seats of power and destroy the previous bums that were there.
There’s no desire for popular rule. If there was we would see devolution of power from the executive and adoption of bottom-up power structures in govt institutions.
Populist movements are empowering to average people, this movement is the opposite of that.
