Welcome to ReImagining Liberty, a show about the emancipatory and cosmopolitan case for radical liberalism. I’m Aaron Ross Powell.
It’s still possible Trump succeeds in his project of authoritarian consolidation, but between the dramatic losses the GOP suffered in the elections on November 4th, the infighting in the conservative coalition, and the Epstein scandal, the prospects for that consolidation are looking more remote.
All this makes the “How do we rebuild when Trump is behind us?” question feel less like a pipe dream. Which is why I was so happy to see my friends at The UnPopulist launch their new “Reconstruction Agenda” project, headed by frequent ReImagining Liberty guest Andy Craig. Andy is mapping out what that reconstruction should look like, and what reforms present the best opportunities to strengthen and rebuild the institutions of liberal democracy. Joining me today alongside Andy is Shikha Dalmia, founder and editor of The UnPopulist.
