Click here for a Robert Reich post on Substack entitled "Trump's Chaos Agenda," subtitled " Reagan's negative view of government has morphed into a malevolent anti-democracy fervor."
Substack is an American online platform that provides publishing, payment, analytics, and design infrastructure to support subscription newsletters. Unfortunately, Substack also makes it impossible to cut and paste from its articles, forcing you to sign in and get a (free) subscription, which I have so far been unwilling to do.
That makes it very difficult to summarize a few of Reich's points here, so instead I'll just urge you to click on and read the article. Short form: Trump's "chaos agenda" is leading Americans to mistrust everything about government and all its institutions, leading his believers to think that Trump will be the answer to all this chaos and dysfunctionality: Elect him and everything will be fine. In reality, the opposite is true.
With the possibility of a terrible explosion of hatred and rage in Israel, Gaza, and the entire Middle East looming large, I can't help feeling despair.
