The Kingfish is a worthy model for right-wing populists. The post What Vance Sees in Huey Long appeared first on The American Conservative .
History What Vance Sees in Huey Long The Kingfish is a worthy model for right-wing populists. At a steel plant in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio last week, J.D. Vance invoked the memory of a “great Southern populist.” “His name was Huey Long,” the vice president said, “and he once said ‘Every Man a King’ was the goal of his political program.” Noting that Long—the Depression-era Louisiana governor and U.S. senator popularly known as the Kingfish—was “an interesting guy, kind of a crazy guy,” Vance connected his program with the Trump administration’s agenda: But no man is a king if their castle is under siege by criminals. No man is a king if they can’t take their family out to dinner without being mugged…Open
‘It wasn’t the middle class that broke the social contract’
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich calls out those whom he describes as ‘Corporate Democrats’ in a new Substack piece. It comes amid the recent rise of several progressive democrats across the country. Reich writes that democrats have scored some important victories for working families over the last three decades, but ‘they’ve done little to alter the widening economic inequalities that have taken a huge toll on working-class families.’ Reich joins Morning Joe to discuss the ‘fundamental shift’ he says is happening on the left.

Vice President JD Vance rallied for Republican candidates Friday at the same Middletown, Ohio, steel plant where his grandfather worked for decades, casting Democrats as a party that abandoned the working class. Vance took the stage inside the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works facility, formerly Armco Steel, and opened with a personal note that doubled as a political argument. His grandfather, James Vance, welded steel there for nearly 40 years. The family came north from Kentucky's hills looking for a middle-class life, and the plant delivered one. Now, Vance told the crowd, the party James Vance once supported for its union ties has become unrecognizable. As the Associated Press reported , Vance framed the visit as both a homecoming and…Open

Politics The Permanent Democratic Majority Has Arrived In our increasingly diverse country, elections are a racial headcount. You’ve probably heard that Donald Trump assembled a “multiracial coalition” in 2024, inaugurating a historic “realignment” of American politics that will enable the GOP to continue winning elections in our increasingly diverse nation. It’s a deeply misguided reading of that election. It’s also a dangerous delusion for Republicans. Racial diversity has made Democratic strongholds out of once-winnable cities like New York and states like California. It threatens to do the same in Texas and Georgia, both of which are now majority nonwhite. Just look at the latest polling for this year’s midterms: White…Open
