    I think the chances for it souls rely on the right. Remember as much as we hate to admit it Donald Trump showed that the right is more anti establishment overall right now then we are.

    The right is not predictable anymore but they are, as a whole, less trustworthy or authority or believing what is on the news. They will be the ones to break the capitalistic hedonic treadmill not us.

      The right is definitely not anti-establishment. What they want is a different face of the establishment. Instead of Clintons they want(ed) Bush. Instead of CNN they want Fox News. Instead of "the big goberment"(aka communism) they want someone with billion dollar in his bank account, a suit, a white skin and a southern accent to come meet and greet them in a limousine and teach them exactly what to do and how to "grow up" to become like that.

      Right wingers are just as alienated as liberals, and that alienation makes them even more easily duped into taking the class and material interests of the capitalists who oppress them as their own.

      The only thing Trump made clear is that the imperial core is no longer capable of sustaining the illusions and promises of neoliberalism. American's will eventualy be treated just like 3rd world workers. And Trump is no threat to the capitalist class, if he was he wouldn't be here in the first place. Between the tax cuts and incentives he is as big of a pawn as they can get, Biden btw promised "no changes" exactly because it would go against what Trump has been doing i.e the Capitalist class interests.

      How is the right anti-establishment? They absolutely love the police. They viciously oppose anything that could hurt the profits of billionaires. They're the best friend the establishment could ask for.
