Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals The Ruling Class v. Donald J. Trump Redux. The FBI "Visits" Mar-A-Lago and Trump's War with his Generals (G&R 175)
No more Panic Porn!
Many/most liberals and much of the left has been panicking and in fear over "fascism" and "coups" for the past couple years--we call it "panic porn"--but Green & Red has been analyzing the objective conditions set by the ruling class and have been pointing out that key elements of the elite who run America, especially in the military and Wall Street, opposed Trump and would stop him--which they did.
This week excerpts from a new book, "The Divider," by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, have confirmed what Bob and Scott were talking about since 2020 (see episodes below)--that the military was wary of Trump and making plans to thwart his efforts during the George Floyd uprisings and the election steal. At the same time the 1/6 Commission and FBI are closing in on Trump as well, and much of the GOP establishment will be happy to see him taken down.
Panic is never a strategy, organization and direct action are. The ruling class is powerful, but there are divergences in it that we can exploit.
