That’s going to last until the 2026 mid-terms. At that point, after the American recession of 2025, the Republicans and Trump will be unpopular. We’re going to face the same inflation/unemployment mix that bedeviled Carter. Trump’s relying too much on business investment to pick up the slack, and it just isn’t there.
Jones understands that the Progressives are unpopular with Americans, and the moderate/establishment Democrats are unpopular with the Progressives. They need to find some middle ground.
One middle ground will be taxes, specifically a wealth tax. Given the disparity between the extremely wealthy and the extreme poor in this country, the only area that the Progressives and the Establishment/Moderate Democrats will be able to agree on is to soak the rich through higher taxes.
Bernie Sanders understands this…and frankly, if the Democrats hadn’t arrogantly stepped on his candidacy in 2016, he would have won. Instead, they ran the most thoroughly dislikeable candidate in my lifetime. At any rate, Sanders understands the plight of the little guy. Trump understands their personality but not their plight.

A wealth tax will absolutely sink the candidate who promotes it. And if somehow it is passed will sink our economy. if you are looking to Elizabeth Warren for ideas to address the deficit, then maybe I understand. As for Sanders, he is an absolute clown. if he wins, this country will have passed from racial strife into rich vs poor. That conflict will be equally divisive. Which is, of course, precisely what Democrat are always seeking.

We’re already there. And the current policies will exacerbate not just the gulf between rich and poor but the perception of that gulf.
Most surprising thing to me about Kamala Harris was that she didn’t hammer on increasing taxes for the wealthy, that usually plays well with voters — and Bernie Sanders, while he is a clown and knows literally nothing about economics, has the attention of the Democratic voter right now.
Dems are all over the place, between Progressives and moderates and others…but the one thing they can agree on, they don’t like rich people and don’t think they pay their fair share.
That’s the next populist who wins the presidency, by the way. The candidate who increases taxes.
