Populism, Donald Trump, and the future of the Right and Left

Populism may be burning out, but what replaces it could reshape politics, institutions, and the church for the next decade.Aaron Renn argues that the era of fever-pitch Trump-era politics is running out of steam, and the real story now is who can turn today’s frustrations into something lasting. Aaron Renn, co-founder and senior fellow at American Reformer and writer at AaronRen.substack.com, joins John Westercamp to map the next phase after Trump, from MAGA popularism and center-left technocracy to the quiet rise of new constructivists building around housing, energy, transit, chips, and AI.
