His political analysis seems sound although certainly unwelcome. This is the challenge we face and he’s described it quite clearly. His two analogues are sound as well.

The Civil War outcome not only made the Republican Party dominant, it made the federal government stronger than the states in ways that it had not been before. It created a large national military infra-structure, a railway network and accelerated the industrial revolution.

The 1930s clash as he says placed the Democrats in the lead and (what he doesn’t say) created the welfare state and the foundations of internationalism as opposed to isolationism. The progressive left view this as a triumph but of course it has led us to the present third crisis point as a split develops between those who want to go all the way to globalism and those who want to move in an opposite direction.

So the high stakes political poker game now is to decide the role of globalism in American culture and politics. If you are opposed to a greater role, as I am in my country where we’re losing this civil war big time, then you need to understand that this analysis is not a call for a violent clash but a warning that our time is up, as soon as Trump is gone they plan to swarm the gates to the castle and take over. The Russia hysteria is just a card they play to get a bit more support from former neo-cons and anti-communists who don’t quite get how they are being played (yet) but that will come when the losers get to the old folks’ homes and realize how they were fooled into giving up their country to the Soros faction and the globalist agenda.

Then the whole world can go down the tubes gracefully together as failed economic and social policies combined with the utter depravity of moral chaos replace two centuries of growth and progress. The end game will not be a pretty sight. That’s why we need to take up this challenge, recognize the legitimacy of the threat (not the philosophy that they want to be victorious, but certainly the process which is already obviously happening) and fight back with better policies — and form a broader coalition.

This won’t be easy. However, the alternative is more or less cultural suicide.
