I swear I\u2019m not going crackers, coming unstitched, losing my grip <em>or<\/em> marbles <em>or<\/em> head, and my finely tuned senses aren\u2019t taking leave of me. Just hear me out: sometimes, like John the Elder or Miss Cleo, I\u2019m struck by glimpses of the future.<\/p>\n<p>No, cherubim don\u2019t blaze with heavenly fire before me, nor can I tell you if the cute receptionist at your office who greets you every morning with a chipper \u201chello!\u201d is your soulmate. Nostradamus, I am not. And I\u2019d probably misread <em>mene, mene, tekel, upharisan<\/em> as an a\u00e7a\u00ed bowl topping. But premonitory signs sometimes catch my notice. The disparate yellowing of the oak tree leaves, burnt gold from the high August sun, in the park across the street from my house heralds autumn. And when I\u2019m traveling to and fro between my hometown in Pennsylvania and adopted home of <a href=\"https:\/\/freethepeople.org\/big-tech-as-a-handmaiden-of-the-deep-state\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Server Valley, Virginia<\/a>, (what AAA Road Atlas authors call Loudoun County), and am wending around Catoctin Mountain with its dips into long-running glens of verdant, unspoiled field grass, my eyes behold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poems\/54684\/jerusalem-and-did-those-feet-in-ancient-time\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Blakean<\/a> visions of multi-family-unit apartment buildings cropping up, springing pools of parking lots that circumference their bases.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re among the self-loathing rump of the country paying attention to November\u2019s election, you might also be witnessing our conventional political dynamic starting to subtly, quietly, almost imperceptibly, shift. Blabber of transposing paradigms, with Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compactmag.com\/article\/the-promise-of-pro-labor-conservatism\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">courting<\/a> organized labor\u2019s favor, and Democrats making peace with profit-mongering, has been ongoing for years, with a surfeit of think pieces published and even full-fledged journals founded, to herald this new dispensation. Twitter <em>philosophes<\/em> bandy about terms like \u201cthe new right,\u201d \u201cnational conservatism,\u201d \u201cdemocratic socialism,\u201d \u201cpostliberalism,\u201d and something, I think, called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/jul\/23\/kamala-harris-charli-xcx-brat\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">brat liberal<\/a>,\u201d trying to put definition to what they view as the grand shuffling of the elephant and donkey into what they imagine is two nearly identical crossbreeds of a proboscidean pack mules mauling each other.<\/p>\n<p>Coining neologisms and stamping labels on movements necessarily comes <em>apr\u00e8s-coup<\/em> official establishment, when the college textbook cartel publishes consensus accounts within the glossy pages of history primers. We won\u2019t officially know the reordering <em>has<\/em> happened until it\u2019s settled opinion. As Garet Garrett liltingly <a href=\"https:\/\/mises.org\/mises-daily\/revolution-was\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> as the New Deal-ization of the American economy, \u201c[t]here are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What is the bubbling revolution that, even if it remains a moderate sizzling for the next few decades, threatens to invert our understanding? To quote an already over-quoted epigram: it\u2019s economics, stupid!<\/p>\n<p>Before this century\u2019s out, assuming America is still standing and Uncle Sam isn\u2019t a PlayStation-addicted Cheetos hog sunken six feet deep into a Chinese-assembled La-Z-Boy, and Lady Liberty hasn\u2019t shaved the palisades off her crown and gotten top surgery, the parties will have switched in how they govern America\u2019s humming engine of colossal consumption, otherwise known as the marketplace. Republicans will be the party of regulation and redistribution; Democrats will be the Randian handmaidens of Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Pasty, pustule-faced libertarian rises on his hairless, spindle-shanked haunches, screeching in dissent.*<\/em>: \u201c<em>ACKTUALLY<\/em>, the Washington uniparty <em>already<\/em> licks the loafers of the rich! <em>Heh heh<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shoo!

Since the Obama-era, Democrats have held a cash advantage during presidential elections, yanking in mounds of fresh lettuce from business titans, Hollywood, unions, and big banks. Republicans receive their fair share of dead presidents from a clutch of billionaires and <a href=\"https:\/\/thelampmagazine.com\/blog\/seagull-island\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">high prole tradesmen<\/a>, who share the high aspiration of shaving down marginal tax rates. The GOP\u2019s unashamed bidding for the giga wealthy only bought so much goodwill and political donations; the party of Franklin Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan has effectively co-opted the country\u2019s elites, even while singing from the poor-and-downtrodden hymnal.<\/p>\n<p>When the Democrats decided to cozy up to America\u2019s plentiful pile of waiting dollars can\u2019t be drilled down to a specific moment. There was Clinton\u2019s neoliberal \u201ctriangulation\u201d; Obama\u2019s reluctance to prosecute banks for the \u201808 financial collapse; Madame Clinton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/the-line-that-may-have-won-hillary-clinton-the-nomination-40504\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">asking<\/a> if \u201cwe broke up the big banks tomorrow&#8230; would that end racism?; Biden\u2019s family flagrantly padding their wallets off their surname.<\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris, the new-blue hopeful, is decidedly dropping the pretense of \u201cScranton Joe\u201d populism in deed, but not in words. Her choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a running mate is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compactmag.com\/article\/tim-walzs-big-threat-to-the-gop\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sop to working-class economics<\/a>. But a Harris-Walz Administration is not a Farmer-Labor Party revival. As antitrust activist Matt Stoller has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/matthewstoller\/status\/1820112894245454154\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chronicled<\/a>, Harris is doing what she does best: warming back up to the Silicon Valley overclass that helped make her career. Her campaign is courting megadonor <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ddayen\/status\/1820090673992966500\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reid Hoffman<\/a>, who, along with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/03\/business\/dealbook\/saying-the-quiet-part-out-loud.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">conniving cabal<\/a> of other tech overlords, is pushing for the ouster of Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, a strident cleaver of corporate mergers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance <em>praises<\/em> Khan, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/technology\/4491363-vance-biden-ftc-chief-is-doing-a-pretty-good-job\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">declaring<\/a> she\u2019s \u201cdoing a pretty good job.\u201d Vance also isn\u2019t shying away from embracing the kind of industrial policy most of his party-peers would reflexively point to and call \u201csocialism.\u201d His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/planet-money\/2024\/07\/23\/g-s1-12513\/economic-mind-jd-vance#:~:text=He's%20a%20strong%20advocate%20for,good%20jobs%20for%20American%20workers.\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">support<\/a> of minimum wage hikes, manufacturing sector impressums, labor boycotts, and the child tax credit show a heterodox philosophy butting into Republicans\u2019 usual corporatism. Then there\u2019s Trump\u2019s ongoing love affair with tariffs, which, like Hamilton and Lincoln and Reagan, he\u2019s convinced give American companies an edge over undercutting competitors. <\/p>\n<p>Ideological movements don\u2019t have through-lines to their actualization. Views change with fits and starts, questions and contemplation. Republicans aren\u2019t an election away from becoming the progressive party; Democrats aren\u2019t days away from forming reading groups over Friedman\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/freethepeople.org\/books\/capitalism-and-freedom\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Capitalism and Freedom<\/a><\/em>.

Political parties aren&#8217;t constants&mdash;they\u2019re as malleable as voter whim. A half century ago, Democrats were considered the illiberal party, as evidenced in John Updike\u2019s <em>Rabbit Redux<\/em> when the well-meaning protagonist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/did-john-updike-foresee-the-trump-era\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">declares<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m a conservative. I voted for Hubert Humphrey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new liberal party, when it becomes apparent to even the lay-est of observers, will finely blend woke identitarianism with unfettered consumeristic glee. As Matthew Walther <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/the-uses-and-abuses-of-woke-capital\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">contended<\/a>, \u201cwoke capital is a tautology.\u201d No limits on buying genders, nor selling wares. In contrast will be a pachyderm party that will return to its real conservative roots, abhorring change, whether it be <em>\u00e9pater le bourgeois<\/em> exhibitionism or commercial startups threatening entrenched industry.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s America\u2019s coming political clash, as my Delphic lenses descry it.
