Key Notes
Jiang says America First resonated because it described the international order as one where immigrants and foreign competitors cheated average Americans.
He argues that Washington was captured by elites and that the Democratic Party shifted from a working-class party into the party of the professional and financial elite.
Jiang says Obama promised to reverse these trends but instead staffed the response with Larry Summers and other architects of the crisis, bailed out Wall Street, and failed the working class.
Jiang argues that ordinary Americans are under severe stress, citing inability to absorb a $500 emergency, rising grocery prices, and heavy debt as signs that everyday life is becoming unmanageable.
