Abstract

Perhaps the only positive consequence of the victory of an utterly despicable nominee and his down-ballot faithful is that progressives inside and outside the Democratic Party have begun to grope their way toward a common solution: revive an aggressive populism of the left. Since the Great Recession, as authoritarian populists on the right gained strength across Europe, social democrats posed no coherent alternative and won only, as in the United Kingdom, when their opponents proved to be wretched failures at governing. Both across the Atlantic and in the United States, the left and center-left kept losing native-born voters without a college education who view the current and future economy as a craps game rigged against them.
