While there are a lot of issues I disagree with Fareed on, I really do appreciate this conversation. Both sides could benefit from this kind of honesty introspection.
Politics is not only to respond to the demands of the majority, the market, politics is also to create new visions; to teach the racists that we live not in a country but in one world.
Um, the racists run the show. WE are an openly racist country with a racist government policy. It is what it is. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that the govt can't be racist.
Thank you, you brought some reason and balance to the wretches election conversation. In particular, Fareed's last few comments about US stability and the strength of its laws and structures are spot on.
I really appreciate this more grounded perspective. I get a lot of people repeating headlines, and it stresses me out. I worry a lot about the stability of the US law and stability of the dollar. While I understand everyone else is concerned about identity/minority politics, I'm just trying to get by.
Oh, dear God. When I hear what Fareed Zakaria believes happened, I think: 1) liberal intellectuals are consciously urging fascism forward; 2) we absolutely deserve what we're gonna get.
Right? I love him but on this he’s just completely bought into the game trump & the right wing billionaires played as well as the basic apparently immutable misogyny in the US
How do you define weak? If she was weak what do you call a dancing, babbling, stuttering, bombastic, attention seeking, old fart that is one Donald J. Trump?
A thoughtul and reasoned discussion. The one thing so many Dem's cannot get their heads around is how important cultural values are. They outweigh economic considerations because the US was founded on a idea. Economics are important, but not determative for many if not most Trumpers. I suspect the vote went as it did in spite of Trumps many deficiencys. It was a vote against the far left progressivism and cosmopolitianism they saw as a mortal danger to the USA.
Democracy? What do even mean by that? Do the fucking math! Read a little Kenneth Arrow, learn a little Social Choice theory, maybe some Public Choice theory
gross. im sorry but you cannot say that one is wrong because one "feels eggs are too expensive" despite the economy being good. thats capitalism. we pay because we "feel" its fair value. afford is irrelevant. a millionaire or a hobo will always agree on appropriate cost regardless of income. only newyorkafornians and shut-in popular podcast economists would pretend otherwise.

Great insights from Dr. Fareed. This second term will be unlike any that has come before.

That was an amazing episode! I was especially grateful for those last comments to those who voted against Trump and lost. Thank you guys.
Fareed is a well spoken tool and his conventional wisdom leads to apocalypse. Just another smart sounding dummy.

Inflation? So Trump is going to put the eggs at 50 cents bread at one dollar a home at 40k yea, right 😅

@@lesnla our democracy, our housing, our schools, our futures... we simply sold them all.
Very insightful comment
I agree with Fareed. But let’s not get carried away. Kamala lost because she was a weak candidate.
It wasn't just Kamela that lost though. Extremely conservative candidates won most races and now run the federal and most state governments.

Maga culture is white robes and burning crosses. Good luck with that.
Excellent radio. I think every person would benefit from listening to this episode.

Trump is very feminine; he use gossip, tantrums and similar reactions.
Magats are very sensitive. A glimpse of skin that isn’t pure white sends them into a tizzy.
