Trump and his followers don’t just want to stop the move. They want to return the clock.

As experts and political shortcomings ralled to increase the influence of Donald Trump Bill for taxes and costs for signatureOne of its defining features evaded them: the legislation, decorated with the difficult nickname “one big beautiful bill” in almost every plan. Not only that it unfolds with a clumsy tax reduction, it is definitely not applied to the prevailing economic conditions, as a snake panacea. In almost all its provisions, the mass bill codified the order summed up in the slogan of the Trump movement “Make America again Great”: the main phobia of the future.
It notes that possible by itself – the directive from which Trump gathered Ronald Reagan presidential campaign 1980. The post -war conservative movement has always been a decisive break with the past America, abandoning the country’s familiar image as a border agent of progress, distributing mass resources to promote ambitious initiatives such as “New Transaction”, “Marshal Plan” and “Space Program”. The plan of this, which lags behind, Trump’s expenses plan to raise key federal efforts to confront the pressing problems of the future. Where the post -war conservative thinker William F. Bakley -Jr. announced his ambitions standing in the history of Akart and shouting “Stop!”, Trump made him better by pulling the lever and turning the course.
Consider, for example, the greatest future problem to the planet: the existential threat of irreversible climate change. The Trump’s bill eliminates critical subsidies for solar and wind energy, which was won by the Baden administration when the 2022 inflation law became the far-far climate measure that the Western country ever passed. Instead of desperately necessary innovative law restores leasing federal land for oil, gas and coal production. A report From the zero laboratory of the University of Princeton and the development of energy research, it estimates that by 2035 this reversion to traditional dirty energy sources will increase carbon emissions in more than 1 billion tonnes by 20 to 25 percent compared to the results designed within the Biden era policy.
Then there is a deep regressive reversal of social costs of the bill – 1 trillion. Dollars in reduction only Medicaid, as well as steep costs of healthcare costs in accordance with the law on affordable care and critical income, such as Snap. The Maga defenders of this tough social predator brand were problems with the simultaneous expansion of historical distribution to the highest salaries. They remained the revival of the most dispensing to the unmistakable, claiming that, for example, Medicaid’s work requirements will push Americans to achieve great individual success. (Don’t remember that The vast majority of Medicaid recipients are already running.) Faced with the material consequences of its own moody policy, the right of Maga retreated to the past, repressing the brand of discredited social mythology, which was rooted in the late 19th century.
Meanwhile, the bill also announces an economic war on one of the more reliable social mobility channels in modern America: accessible education. It Eliminates the Grad Plus programCreated in 2006, which allows students with a smaller level of postgraduate and vocational schools to use federal loans to cover the full cost of study. Federal student loans who can take on behalf of their child are now limited to $ 20,000 a year, with a total $ 65,000 limit, a pitchk at the College’s spiral costs, and is again a burden that will come to the lower income students.
These apostates are part of the grueling horror that feels the right dogmatics before the work of a secular and skeptical investigation, which is owned by their children (and thus control over the future) will be knocked out of their understanding.
Dragon cuts on the cost of the cost is only a distilled version of the broad future-photo movement Maga. Authoritarian and increasingly unpopular The mass deportation campaign seeks to create mainly a white English labor from the ether, because it is so werewolf as Steve Benan and Stephen Miller – also Trump himself – and “true America”, restored to complete and natural sovereignty.
The same goes for the confidence of Trump that the regime of the restored tariffs is an outdated economic palliative that is also Peak in the 19th century-This will be magically revived by American production if the country’s transformation into the economy will be completely complete. The attack of the administration on the diversity programs, freedom of speech in the campus and public education K-12-all this provides the same application for the creation of an imaginary community of simple institutional life, where white prevails-and brutally reject any program or initiative, which recognizes that there is a long-standing Makeup in the country.
This was a suitable grace in the adoption of the bill on costs that only a few days later a leak from the White House confirmed earlier reports that Trump administration should impose tough cuts Prior to the National Aviation and Space Administration, the program of signature of the new border liberalism. Then Trump called Sean Duffy-stars a realistic-TV, which he assigned to the catastrophic effect, to head the Department of Transport-As a temporary director of NASARealizing that his previous nominee for the post, the technical entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, was a close denomination from Trump’s former “first friend” random democratic donor to download. It was the perfect Maga set: a small ideological cleaning that provided control over the investigation of space, which is funded by a minor television celebrity that is afraid to travel to the New York subway.
When Trump Cinturgent 2016 still looked like a long loss, its democratic competitor Hillary Clinton offered usually anemic and unconvincing rehearsal to his slogan of the pet, helping that “that” is “America is already big“Now that we reside in the implementation of the full agenda, it is clear that its campaign will be better off from the first republican president of Abraham Lincoln:” You cannot avoid responsibility tomorrow, shying away today. “
At this point, the crisis we need the only, progressive opposition to Donald Trump.
