The Chaos Doctrine: Why Trump’s America is a House of Cards

Nerds for Humanity

It’s been a while since my last live stream, but this conversation was too important to pass up. I recently sat down with a political insider who goes by the handle Maine Wonk on Twitter. He’s an Obama-era campaign veteran turned policy analyst who, like many of us, has spent the past few years trying to make sense of the increasingly chaotic state of American politics.

We covered a lot of ground—from Trump’s governing style to Biden’s decision to run again, the future of the Democratic Party, and the historical parallels that suggest we may be on the cusp of another major political realignment. It was a sobering, insightful, and at times even hopeful discussion.
