Political realignment

And so it's the middle people that are my people, that kind of understand the fun and the brio and the campiness and the great music, and you know, that's where I live.

And I just think that we're experience a l- experiencing a larger political realignment that doesn't have words yet.

So when it does, we will know who we are.

But you and I have done a podcast before that I think you called, like, Are You a Conservative Now? And it was, the idea was that both you and me have been accused, or, like, a common card to pull on us-

I, I don't think it's any one thing.

Um, I, I do think that we are in the middle of a political realignment, perhaps as dramatic as the one that we saw between, uh, you know, 1924 and 1932 that culminated with FDR and the New Deal.

Uh, you know, people...

You know, basically, the Republicans used to be a slightly more left party than the Democrats in many ways, uh, until the 1920s.

failed to form a government.

The real story here is where the political realignment is flowing.

Analysts say it's increasingly benefiting a party known as the BSW.

That's the Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht.

If they run out of paradigm seed, the growth phase, you wind up in the print phase, from a starting point of already having a nationwide affordability crisis, where 77 out of 10 people, households in this country, live paycheck to paycheck that currently feel like they're not getting ahead, that are watching all kinds of stuff on TV and Instagram and wondering why they're not part of the American dream.

That's seven out of 10. households in this country um so folks like us in the three out of the ten you know we need to take hold of how dire and desperate uh the situation is the lack of dignity that so many of our fellow americans feel if you try to default via debasement paradigm d with that as the starting point you're going to wind up with a major political realignment i think total war is a high probability outcome in that scenario as well and here's how you can get major political realignment.

Most people think of politics as on a left-right spectrum.

You know, so DSA on the far left, Democrats in the mid-left, Republicans mid-right, you know, the traditional GOP in the mid-right, and the MAGA on the far right.

That's a chilling image.

What's also interesting is the political realignment happening here.

Lovely argues that the populist left and populist right are increasingly aligned against unchecked AI, while establishment Republican leadership sides with the industry.

And he says having no regulation is now the least popular stance you could possibly have, especially as communities push back against data centers and state level preemption efforts.
