The Prudentialist returns to Restoring Order for a wide-ranging discussion on leftism, Trump, and the future of the American right.
To begin, we discuss Assata Shakur. Who was she? Why is the left mourning her passing? We then discuss left-wing terrorism and consider why the institutional right, unlike the left, disavows its more radical elements, even when they are peaceful and law-abiding.
In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we discuss Trump’s crackdown on left-wing terrorism. What has he done so far? Is it enough? Prude argues that deterrence is the best option when you lack cultural control. Later, we differentiate between effective and ineffective ways of pressuring the Trump administration. Toward the end of the show, we consider what awaits America once Trump is no longer president.
