Robert Kagan on ‘anti-liberal rebellion,’ U.S. democracy and 2024 stakes

[@garyepstein8764]

I was never able to understand what the right-wingers meant about the word "woke." Now I believe that "woke" is just another word for "liberal."

[@markg.7865]

You got it.

[@jonlittle5032]

"woke" is a deliberate ironic twist on the more "fashionable" statement 'America needs to wake up".

I Totally Understand, But I Do - Strongly and Respectfully Disagree with Mr Kagan's Takes on Mr. President Trump .. And Mr. Kagan's Takes on Mr. President Trump Being/or Becoming a POTUS Dictator on Day-1!. Mr. Kagan's Assumptions And REAL Life Realities .. Are Two Different - Alternative Worlds! Basically - If Mr. Trump Wanted too Become a Dictator .. President Trump Would've Been an Opportunist, The First TIME, He'd Became POTUS .. Furthermore, Mr. President Trump Had Multiple Opportunities - During The Covid Pandemic too Do Just That..

Just a reminder that in Texas v. White (1869), the Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession of states unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the states could lead to a successful secession.

Thank you for this discussion. We have to get Americans to see voting as critical to their lives. Not much time left to avert disaster.

This is the one of the best books regarding Trump and the MAGA movement

A more accurate description is White Centrality. It's cultural more than racial.

It won't be the first time, America's democracy is on a knifes edge.

[@doniphandiatribes]

Brilliant.

[@TimEngbergSongs]

Why so surprising

[@richardcarroll2090]

Because no one seems to care, that’s what so surprising

[@briankgruber]

My God WP. A proud institution. And you can’t surmise the difference between Kagan’s discussion of anti liberalism - the founding liberal principles of freedom and universal individual rights - and anti liberal which implies resistance to current leftist politics. Shame on you. I despised Kagan’s neocon advocacy but he is an important advocate for liberal democracy.

[@jonlittle5032]

Capehart goes out of his way to validate and confirm Kagan's differential.

Pure Genius

[@brendatenorio5721]

Stay in this decade WP, only have 30 minutes. Don't like Catholics?

[@jonlittle5032]

Kagan's book is literally a comparison of American politics of today with the politics of the 1920s and 1930s.
