After four years of spectacle, the political playing field of America after Trump is starting to become clear. In response to populist demands, the Right has been rediscovering post-Keynesian industrial policy. Many call for the GOP to become a multiracial, working-class party. The need to regulate gigantic tech platforms has also spawned new alliances. Other parts of the GOP, eager to cash in on Trump’s popularity, adopt a populist tone atop persistent neoliberal commitments. How will these pressures play out over the next two election cycles? As a founder of the first journal to explore these changes, Gladden Pappin offers his view of the most important political trends on the American right.
