This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Michael Lind. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked 

A month on from Trump’s seismic victory, Democrats are still in denial about the significance of their defeat. Party elites think slicker messaging alone can claw back lost support. Here, Michael Lind – author of Hell to Pay and The New Class War – explains why this is so delusional. Identitarianism, illegal immigration and green extremism made America ripe for a populist revolt. Lind also weighs in on the tensions in the MAGA movement and the farmers’ protests in Europe.
