I've always understood the Reagan Revolution to be the mobilization of the Christian Right as a voting bloc and coupling it with (classically) liberal economic policies. At the heart of that project (continuing today) were the goals of dismantling New Deal social programs and regulatory frameworks, a repudiation of Keynesian economics, and freeing American capital from any national responsibility while using American military might to police the world-system to benefit capitalism as a whole (while maintaining a privileged position for the US). Its funding secure from the corporatocracy, it focused on building a political base of support (from its victims, no less) by stirring up fear, racism, and reaction to the counter-culture.
What part of this bloated, diseased cancer in the American body politic hasn't failed?
