Nationalist populism in the Old World
A very good "long read" in The Guardian.
They look a lot like Breitbart, these Euro-populists, but perhaps with more openness toward the welfare and regulatory state than Trump, Bannon, or the Breitbart crowd have shown.
Trump has repeatedly sworn support for Social Security and Medicare, but how serious was that?
And what are Bannon's views, or those of the Breitbart crowd, on such things?
And those Trump infrastructure initiatives look pretty Big Government to me.
None of that is acceptable to the fiscal conservatives who make up the Republican congress and the whole of the party establishment.
