Krugman interview with Liberal Oasis <--- must read!

[grytpype]

The key thing, in terms of the state of the world right now, is that the United States has gone mad.

---
It’s actually the story about how confronted with people with some power, domestic or foreign, that really doesn’t play by the rules, most people just can’t admit to themselves that this is really happening.

They keep on imagining that, “Oh, you know, they have limited goals. When they make these radical pronouncements that’s just tactical and we can appease them a little bit by giving them some of what they want. And eventually we’ll all be able to sit down like reasonable men and work it out.”

Then at a certain point you realize, “My God, we’ve given everything away that makes system work. We’ve given away everything we counted on.”

And that’s basically the story of what’s happened with the Right in the United States. And it’s still happening.

You can still see people writing columns and opinion pieces and making pronouncements on TV who try to be bipartisan and say, “Well, there are reasonable arguments on both sides.” And advising Democrats not to get angry – that’s bad in politics. And just missing the fact that – my God, we’re facing a radical uprising against the system we’ve had since Franklin Roosevelt.
