The State of the Union (Neon Liberalism #65, with Jamelle Bouie)

Samantha and returning guest Jamelle Bouie take a step back and assess the overall arc of the Trump administration. Bouie argues that Trump's theory of the case when he came into office was fundamentally based on speed: move fast, break things, and present American society with strongman rule as a fait accompli.

But instead of producing compliance and popularity, Trump's authoritarian policies have produced increasing backlash from numerous sectors of society. Now we see a presidency adrift, out of ideas and trapped in its own echo chamber. What comes next?
