Putin, Trump, and Liberalism
Peter Schultz
Putin asked Trump if
he, Trump, agreed that “Western-style liberalism” was dead. Trump, obviously
out of his depth, mumbled something. But what gets me is that a lot of people
don’t think Putin was correct. Seems to me that such liberalism disappeared some
time ago, about the time when JFK was assassinated, followed by the murders of
MLK, Malcolm X, and RFK. Or I might surmise that such liberalism died when the
establishment dismantled, repressed, and subverted the promise of the 60s. LBJ,
Vietnam, and Nixon killed off liberalism, which was then buried by Reagan and
Clinton. And any resurrection seems extremely improbable.
