It seems like the better comparison from your article would be 1992, but really, having RFK Junior sitting there with a chainsaw is in no way comparable to 2013
It’s different because RFK with a chain saw might achieve change where Obama failed.
We have had 3 populist elections in the last 5 cycles. Obama 2008 was co-opted and Trump 2016 was stymied by Russia investigations. So this time there’s RFK and Elon and Tulsi with chain saws. If the people don’t like the results they can vote for Harris in 2028. But at least sometime tried to do what the winning party voted for.
These are cuts to enrich the extremely wealthy, not for a lean-mean-fighting industry. Your whole conception is off. They don’t need or care if the entire country does better overall, they care about personal wealth. It’s Obama wasn’t trying anything of the sort.
