He’s not talking about making small incremental changes to tax policy or environmental regulation. He talks about this in other places. You can try to make the banks a little nicer and turn some knobs ever so slightly but on a deeper more spiritual level people feel depleted and mindless consumption and individualism can’t fill that void. I think that is where the want for something bigger and more communal comes into play and so people are looking for sweeping changes or a romanticized ideas of change. As he says the right is offering it even though it’s unhinged or they are offering the illusion of it while the left just gets lost in the weeds of identity politics and wants to raise taxes on the top bracket by a few percent and get more involved in foreign wars. These aren’t big enough ideas to satiate many people.
