    his presidency really did put the nails in the coffin of liberal progressivism for me. before it was possible to believe that the inequality and bigotry ingrained in the American social order could be rectified with bourgeois democracy and representative identity politics. a black “community organizer” telling us out of one side of his mouth that he’d roll back the excesses of the christian nationalist that came before him and then just maintaining them while giving us nothing was too obscene to ignore.
