“What Trump is doing has long been the left’s answer to globalisation. It asserts that the benefits of freer trade flowed to the rich, while the poor needed protection from competition, fair or unfair. This is Trumpism.”

HAHAHAHAHA

Jenkins assumes there will be elections… He clearly hasn’t listened to Trump or the Republicans. Between the gerrymandering, removal of voting rights, and demands of specific ID (which many don’t have/can’t afford), and the promise that this was the last election, future elections are performative at best. As for the rest of the article - it’s a contradictory mess.

Jenklins will write any old bollocks for money,

Y’know, I think Jenkins might be a cheap AI. Certainly prone to weird logic errors and hallucinations.

I was just eating a pain au choc reading this, and thought to myself that he reminded me of that R2 unit that blows up at the Jawa robot sale. His "argument" doesn't even have its own internal coherence, but as long as there's a pay packet at the end of it, the "bad motivator" can carry on 😡
