trying to wrap my head around why everything in the US is turned into a political battle--from the most trivial culture war stuff to major national crises such as the response to COVID-19. Is it a Gramscian thing where a ruling class in crisis is unable to maintain ideological hegemony?
Bush as well? or any of the other preceding neoliberals? Is this really business as usual in US politics?
No, I mean Obama specifically. The accusations would come from the right.
