Since they voted for a pro-business, ultra right wing white supremacist. But you keep worring about neoliberalism. Someone has to distract from the fascists about to enter the White House.

And none of you complained about neoliberalism when the white middle class benefited from it. What you actual lament is the decline of American empire. Neoliberalism was fine and good as long as it brought relative prosperity for white men in the US on the backs of laborers around the world. It's the decline of the US as the core of a world system of capitalist exploitation that has caused resentment in the US. If people admitted that they feel entitled to live off the labor of the global South, that would at least be honest. But the fact that the time they long to return to is the height of that exploitation exposes as fraudulent the discourse of supposed opposition to neoliberalism.
