Wendy Brown

National Emergency: White Evangelicals-- They Only Feel Safe In Their Self-Satisfied Bigotry Behind Big Strong Walls

The video above is a brief talk almost a decade ago (2009) by one of America's most brilliant political theorists, Wendy Brown, a U.C., Berkeley professor, one of whose specialties is canonical political theory, and who, at the time of the video, was finishing top work on her 2010 book, Walled States, Waning Sovereignty. Obama, you'll recall, was still early in his first term when she made the video-- and was writing that book. Trump was still just a bankrupt TV clown scrambling for a few bucks wherever he could get it.
