Eddie also addresses the pressures faced by universities in the current political climate and critiques the conservative perspective on higher education. He concludes with a reflection on the broader social order and the need for honesty in confronting the issues at hand.
100%. God love them, but I listen to Steve Schmidt, Nicole Wallace, Liz Cheney, Reagan-worshipper Joe Scarborough, and “Never Trumpers” and I wonder, do they really think they didn’t lay the groundwork for this debacle. I know you work with several of these folks Professor, and I’m glad you do, but I wish they were more honest about how we got here.
Yes, Reagan the Union-buster; Reagan who made the first political bargain with the evangelical right wing by linking arms with Jerry Falwell, a rabid white supremacist and segregationist; Reagan, the first of several late 20th century GOP presidents to explode the national debt by feeding the relentless greed of defense contractors while simultaneously blaming “welfare queens” for draining the national treasury; Reagan, who feigned innocence for a White House-hatched plot to subvert not one, but two laws passed by Congress, one banning military intervention in the Contra war and the other prohibiting arms dealing with Iran. Yeah, what a guy! When Schmidt, Scarborough, et al continue to praise him and deny that the current MAGA GOP’s racist and lawless lineage traces right back to him, they are in total denial. A lovely speech after the Challenger disaster and another extolling the virtues of immigration does not an admirable presidency make.
People luv you here on this Coast &Every place i go when I mention Our Name!!!!our you any kind to Eddie Glaude jr.they be thrilled to death We luvya!!!!
Thanks, Eddie. I deeply appreciate your sharing your musings. Listening to you is probably as close as I’ll get to a graduate school class, given the stage of life I am in. You gave me much to consider. Thank you again. Heal quickly.
This is the world Ronald Reagan started in 1980 and the GOP has over the last 40 years dismantled American middle and working class people, they have created a feudal system once again where we are desperate and work for low wages and food. They own all the resources and tell us that if we work harder better things are ahead.
Isn't it amazing that none of them want to take or accept any level of responsibility for THIS crap? They've been using dog whistles for decades and folks are now emboldened to further their hate amd play victim while doing it. This is astonishing.
Trump’s never-ending lies and continuing criminal acts demand his impeachment, removal from office, prosecutions, convictions, and imprisonment. Trump’s MAGA base includes criminals working as ICE’s Gestapo, it includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court, it includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet, hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.
Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.
The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his Sycophants, and the crimes they have committed, and continue to commit. This majority will seize control of Congress in 2026, impeach Trump and remove him from office in 2027, and retake the Whitehouse in 2028.
The Crown jewel is education!! Attack the universities and look at that , the roll back! Back lash! Great points! Brother Glaude, once again, you have done it again! We continue to keep up the fight! This is not gonna be pretty! #America
I do really struggle with some of the NeverTrump /former Republicans, the intelligent, educated, thoughtful ones like David Brooks & Bill Krystal, who do seem to have evolved on many issues. Their self-described “small-c” conservative perspectives on some things are often well worth listening to, and yet…as a strongly progressive Democrat ~ YES, it was their Reaganism that put us on the path we're on now. They just can't seem to see - or accept - the connection.
Far right extremists have been plotting this for decades. They didn’t want a successful civil rights movement or an equal rights movement for women and gays…THEY liked the “good old days” when THEY called all the shots! WE will NOT go back!
Can't tell you how much I appreciate this post and this analysis. It's so important to point out that Trumpism is the outgrowth of Reaganism, that the supporters of Reagan, George H W Bush and George Bush brought us Trump and now they appear to have forgotten "welfare queens" and "trickle down economics" and the racism of Willie Horton. And you're absolutely right---corporations, media and politicians lied after George Floyd. And the powers-that-be in academia have never really been brave. Or particularly "woke." Thank you for continuing the fight--and thank you for continuing to speak about Gaza.
Thank you….. so appreciate your take on issues. You always dig a little deeper. Complexities abound but you have a way of cutting through them and making sense!
Well said, Prof. Glaude. Bravo! Me? I thought the David Brooks of old must have been the evil twin of the moderate Brooks whose cri de cœur, The Crucial Issue of the 21st Century, I read in the July 31 Times.
Trinkle down theory never worked , never will . Now the difference is there saying the quite part out loud and expecting people to just believe it…. And they are….!!!
They are directly responsible for this💩
Brooks, Will, Norquist - all traitors

I ticked off Schmidt when I said Reagan was a crappy president during one of his live podcasts. So, he’s changed, but not that much.

Not to mention the way his administration treated the AIDS epidemic.
You we’re correct

There are one or two who are apologizing, surprisingly enough. Stuart Stevens did the other day. A small step, but something.
D Brooks is a chameleon and panderer. Political “piety" for the sake of an income stream. Expect him to move from NYT to WaPo or WSJ any day now.
Another brilliant post -
Professor, you're sounding 1400 times better and your insightful messages are clear and strong! Loving support to you and your family~

As always, Eddie, thank you. I so appreciate your ability to grapple with and to articulate what’s happening. Thank you.
Thanks for bringing up the David Brooks opinion piece….. your comments make so much sense. Keep on speaking up

Trump beloved MAGA supporters are finally waking up to his lies, deceptions, scandals and coverups about his false slogan ‘ the America first agenda’.
