Post-progressive liberals. Post-progressive Democrats.

No, cutting Social Security won't make young people love Democrats

More little Obamas, sticking their heads up, as Joan McCarter reports.

This is the newly rising post-progressive Democratic Party supported by a post-progressive liberalism more about identity and social issues than class, favoring the real or supposed interests of foreigners outside America over those of Americans right here at home.

The new coalition and the new liberalism that powers it have little in common with the progressivism with which liberalism allied at the beginning of the 20^th Century and the progressive/New Deal/Great Society coalition that rested on the solid foundation of the working class, small farmers, and ordinary folk of America.

We are very, very far from the days when John Dewey wrote his classic, Liberalism and Social Action.

Or even Herbert Croly’s The Promise of American Life.

We are only now hearing about things the people who have been trumpeting the new coalition have not been telling you.

Doing without the white working class as voters means dropping the centrality of working class interests, unless they’re basically freebies that don’t cost much, if anything, in taxes or even foregone profits.

Doing without the white working class means dropping the centrality of the interests of the ordinary people of America without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, or whatever slice-and-dice you like.

The agenda changes to the hurt of ALL ordinary people in America.

We boomers OF ALL RACES, RELIGIONS, ETC. paid for those earned benefits all our lives.

Too bad, eh?
