[lbo-talk] Kevin Phillips: No Demographic Trend to Save Us From Bush

[mike larkin]

Keven "Phillips can discern no lurking demographic trend—alas, alas—that will put the country back on course. Rather, he shares with many older Americans the sense that the political bargain has changed. He counts himself as one of “those who believed that the democratic values of World War II and Franklin D. Roosevelt had become an inextricable part of the national social fabric.” He had always believed that describing the world was one way to change it. But there’s a bedrock of exhaustion in this book, the idea that mustering facts and making arguments may not be sufficient to serve the dynasty its just desserts. He’s not an apostate, exactly; it’s the world that’s moved on."
