Developments leading to the Midterms reflect growing authoritarianism and a worsening threat to democracy. If we're going to have a better future we're going to have to disabuse ourselves of lies we've been sold. Let's dive into the situation. 1/ jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/drifting-to-…

Even as the GOP openly attacks democracy, we're seeing polls and trends that reflect many voters understand there's a threat but care more about the economy. This worldview is integral to authoritarian projects and we have to work against it to even stand a chance. 2/

The GOP is benefiting from a general dissatisfaction with the state of things, but they don't have solutions. The only thing they offer is to make life worse for the people their voters hate. But that doesn't mean the suffering won't spread or that the crisis will abate. 3/

We've been sold a lie. Our personal fates are linked to others and our collective fates. Protecting your wealth and property at the expense of everyone else doesn't lead to anything but brutality and chaos and authoritarianism. Presently, we're speeding toward that. 4/

Our modern state is predicated on a lie of individualism as a means of legitimizing the destruction of the social safety net in favor of redistributing wealth from the poor to the wealthy. This project moved TRILLIONS to the wealthiest and left us fighting amongst ourselves. 5/

In the neoliberal project, forwarded by Reagan/Thatcher and others, the state was relegated to supporting the wealth class while largely abandoning the people. This has led to massive inequality and radicalizing atomization. 6/

The rich and the privileged got even wealthier and more powerful while the rest of us were left to look out for ourselves and emulate them. The market incentivized zero-sum games in which everyone was a competitor and couldn't be trusted. 7/

Over time, that excess wealth was used to coopt our political systems and stock government with living, breathing vetoes on anything that didn't serve the bottom line for the wealthiest few. For good reason, we learned to be skeptical of this and distrust government. 8/

What we got in return was a bizarre state where we gained access to cheap goods and instead of enjoying representative government we learned to vote with our dollars and checkbooks. A consumer society replaced any notion of a democratic one. 9/

The problem arises when the consumerist fantasy is interrupted. Suddenly the deal isn't so good for even the privileged. The lack of faith manifests in anger and self-motivated politics that centers on the individual's experience and fate. 10/

And, despite what you've been told, this system is inherently unstable. It works in predictable cycles of booms and busts, and when the bottom falls out those at the bottom suffer the brunt of it. And, predictably, these crises breed authoritarianism. 11/

When the economy collapses it is often because of a lack of system control over it and the existing lack of faith in the masses means an expression of anger and distrust will take place. To answer this, authoritarians give a simple solution: tear it down and give us power. 12/

Simultaneously, authoritarians provide a service to the wealth class by attacking Leftists who might agitate for reform or egalitarian change. In this way, they gain the trust of the wealthy who have historically gifted them power and wealth to protect themselves. 13/

And, because media organs are often owned by the wealth class and communicate their point of view, the authoritarians are given the benefit of the doubt. Because their "solutions" maintain their wealth, power, and property in theory. 14/

Our stories about Fascism and Nazism like to pretend populaces were "hypnotized," but authoritarianism is often very popular for middle classes who worry they might lose what they have in terms of wealth and power and affluence. As things worsen, they grow to accept them. 15/
