Batya Ungar-Sargon returns to discuss one of the strangest developments in American politics: the Right’s quiet drift into neo-Marxist class rhetoric. We unpack why conservatives are suddenly talking like progressives, why young voters are gravitating toward populism, and how affordability—not culture war—has become the new political battlefield.

Batya explains why the American working class is fundamentally capitalist, why the socialist constituency is a vanguard masquerading as a proletariat, why the real threat to the middle class isn’t ideology at all, and the future of the America First movement.
