1/ I wonder if there's a complement to Mettler's _Submerged State_ thesis: the successful state thesis. In brief: American government has *in many ways* been so successful for so long that Americans have forgotten why they need it, making anti-government rhetoric more appealing.

Over the course of the last 50 years I’ve known many Brits, Aussies and Kiwis yet only today did I hear the expression “then Bob’s your uncle” and I now plan to use it to exhaustion.

Non social-scientific 🧵. 1/ There are a lot of reasons why we're staring at the abyss. And, of course, reactionary populism is a global phenomenon, so one doesn't want to overstate country-level causes. But there is also country-level variation.

Trump keeps saying ever more fascistic things, and people keep asking incredulously (& understandably) "how is this election still a tie?" This story about the time in 1946 a town invited the US's most notorious fascist to deliver an address might be relevant. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/in-1946-a-...

In 1946 a Wisconsin Town Invited a Fascist to Deliver the Keynote Address at their Centennial Celebration

Few people in Viroqua, Wisconsin WANTED Gerald LK Smith, the head of the America First Party, to speak, but when they ALLOWED it, they fanned the flickering embers of the American Fascist Tradition

Today I saw a truck with a big handpainted sign saying: DEMOCRAT OR AMERICAN? YOU CAN'T BE BOTH If I hadn't been driving I would have quickly written my own sign saying WHY ON EARTH NOT? and showed it to him as I passed.

In part because virtually no one who egged that war on, or denounced or dismissed those protesting or warning against it, paid any price at all. There's a large shared self-interest in not looking backward.

Many Americans are concerned about Biden's age. But no credible reporting shows it has impaired his governing. Meanwhile Trump wants to turn DOJ against his enemies, plans to use the military to suppress protest & deport millions, invites Russia to invade NATO allies & wants to end vaccine mandates
