Francis Fukuyama, autore della fine della storia, avverte: Trump non è un realista

No shit..

>I don’t think that I said that the American voters were rejecting liberalism as a matter of principle. I think that Americans remain deeply liberal. They actually don’t think about these things in terms of ideas or doctrines. I think that they remain fundamentally liberal. Nobody wants to abolish the Bill of Rights or have an authoritarian government.

My man Francis apparently didn’t look too closely at the most devout MAGA cultists 😀

>And, in fact, I believe what I was referring to when I said that they knew what they were voting for was that they wanted a leader that promised them all sorts of good things in the short run. They didn’t care that much about his bad character, and they should, therefore, not have been surprised when that bad character became evident once he was elected to a second term. But that’s very different from saying, “Yeah, we actually don’t like our freedoms. We really wish that we had a dictator running, or if not a dictator, a Viktor Orban type.”

There’s this notion in some of the academia and among some intellectuals that you can’t proclaim some people as “evil”, that it’s too easy and doesn’t get to the core of the issue. But some of the MAGA cultists simply wanted to cause harm to other people, they just didn’t realize that they themselves are “the other people” to the oligarchs. It’s not a “Yeah, we actually don’t like our freedoms” for them, it’s “We don’t like that the other people have freedoms”. I’d call that simply “evil”.

>The other thing is that the real complaint about liberalism these days, which motivated a lot of Trump voters, was not about economics, fundamentally. If you look at the people on January 6th that assaulted the Capitol, the vast majority of them had comfortable jobs and middle-class lives. They were more upset by a certain kind of social and cultural liberalism that I would put under the banner of woke liberalism, in which issues like race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are prioritised.

It’s like he’s nearly there, almost getting it. lol 😀

No way, tell us something we already know and act like it was your idea..

Bullshit. I don’t like Fukuyama. Wrong on end of history wrong on Greek crisis. Don’t speak my man

Another [failed](https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/fukuyama-predicts-eurozone-breakup/31678682) opinion of Fukuyama

>”It’s more likely that Greece and some of these other peripheral countries are… going to wake up to the fact that they don’t have a way to grow unless they get out of the euro,” said Fukuyama. “And so they’re going to leave.”

He’s a dreamer, Frank

Trump is an Alternativist. As in, if there is a real fact somewhere, there is also simultaneously an alternative one.

We’ve noticed.

History does not end…someone wake him up…if you don’t like the way history is playing out right now…you have to change it…
We have technology and a lot more in the tool box… shrug…

Francis has a rep of getting it wrong

Fukuyama isn’t exactly a realist himself. I mean, his book was comically wrong. The end of history because “liberalism” outlasted the Soviet Union?

>Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History, warns: *Trump is not a realist*

Neither is Fukuyama.

Considering his track record, this guy should remain quiet for the rest of his life.
