Absurd that Fukuyama blames Trump for “polarisation” and “turning the US from a high trust to a low trust society”.
If Fukuyama honestly believes that - and it may well be that he doesn’t and is simply doing the requisite-for-a-lib-audience throat clearing - he’s too dumb to be taken seriously on any topic.
It’s amazing how Fukuyama (and other left wing “intellectuals”) act like this principled liberalism was thriving before trump. The left has pushed a racial spoils system for decades, immigrations only purpose is to benefit the historic population not some touchy feely kumbaiya, anti white racism was thriving, there was no respect for the individual western countries were rapidly Balkanizing, western legal systems had a tiered favoritism based on your identity.
Trump is just a symptom of the failed ideology of DEI neoliberalism. These people live in a romanticized fantasy where everything was fine until he came along except maybe people wanted more welfare and tax the rich.
It seems that these left wing elites are projecting the end of their dominance since the 90s to the end of liberalism…most liberal countries like Japan have trade and immigration restrictions and tough on crime.
