I'm a simple man. I see Thomas Frank in the title, I click.

[@sholbk]

Me too

[@stanleyberger8654]

Very illuminating analysis.

[@infiniteinfiniteinfi]

Indeed, and needed.

[@carlkaufman2429]

Thomas Frank is wonderful insightful thinker, author and speaker, even if he interrupts a lot : ) It's a reflection of his passion and enthusiasm for the material.

[@dammitol25mg19]

Thos. Frank is the most likable hot-mess in the business--chronic interruptions, nervous laughter, won't let host speak, assumes audience knows nothing about US geography, etc., yet he's well-researched with a huge heart and directs his anger at all the right people.

Rock on Tom!!!!! The people or bust.

[@bill8985]

Frank seems to have it just about right. And yes, there will be another Trump. Betsy Devos is also not the last person working like hell to keep the electorate as stupid as possible.

A government OF the oligarchs, BY the oligarchs and FOR the oligarchs. A government instituted by men, who derive their UNJUST power from the NON-consent of the governed. The founding fathers are spinning in their graves.

I love Thomas Frank! He’s also such a textbook ADHD case, ha ha!

[@stevenberge4238]

I would like to ask him if JFKs assassination was the coup that sealed the deal on this fascist oligarchy. And what we can do to establish a government that is actually of, by and for the people.

The fight for democracy is over and democracy lost

Populism was as racist as any other political movement, after all , its Americana and everyone outside the U S sees it whereas in the U S its covered whenever its tentacles are evident. So Frank should not be embarrassed talking about race with the English interviewer. Populism belongs to the farm belt.
