We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Trump has failed by every metric except raising himself to (almost) mythic status. Because of this alone, nobody is even in the same room as him in terms of political influence. Not a single politician in the Western world even comes close.
This is not an endorsement of him, but a cold shower for the radical right. For too long, the radical right's play has been to debate liberalism out of power, whereas people are not moved by argument, but by narrative. Everyone backs a strong horse, and the strong horse says convincingly "history bends toward me". The right has won every "debate" it has ever had, and continues to lose the war. Unless and until we learn this lesson (among others), we will continue to be a fringe movement.
We have done a lot to move the Overton window, but overwhelmingly our work has been done by elites having fumbled the ball badly, and gone way too far, way too fast. History bends toward us, but not because we're master strategists. We suck at strategy and need to get better—and this includes crafting a more powerful myth than that of "progress". That's what this article is about.

THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
-
Owning a home.
-
Buying groceries.
-
Driving to work.
-
Paying insurance.
-
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
