>>agreed - the left-right paradigm is no longer valid
I wouldn’t say that. It just went European. The old American L-R paradigm was Liberal-Conservative, but both sides were basically pro-America. 30 years ago or so, it began to change so that it became the European L-R paradigm, or Transnational vs Nationalist. The Transnational Left brought in the Marxists from the Democrats and the Globalists from the Republicans, and didn’t really have much use for the Nationalists. This election demonstrated that the R vs D paradigm was really just the two sides of the Transnational Left and the “Nationalist Right” was just something to marginalize.
Well, we stood up and spoke and now it’s in the open and the fight is on between the Transnational Left and the Nationalist Right.
interesting but
the real difference is between those who support a big state (>35%GDP) and those who
support liberty (state <20% GDP)
