Episode notes
Trump's Critique of Globalization
- Trump's America First platform uses a leftist critique of globalization.
- This critique is combined with ethno-nationalism, but neoliberal global capitalism remains.
Re-articulation of Political Terms
- The political right often re-articulates terms from the left, giving them different meanings.
- This allows them to appeal to a broader audience without appearing radically different.
Localization
- Terms like "localization" are being re-articulated to support conservative agendas.
- This is exemplified by arguments against federal oversight in education and abortion.
