the very liberal gaze which demonises Trump is also evil because it ignores how its own failures opened up the space for Trump’s type of patriotic populism.

I can't stand Zizek, but when he's right he's right.

    That’s what frustrates me the most about the guy. He’s so inconsistent, has too much output, is a Lacanian revisionist, but every once in a while he hits it.
