Reactionaries hate AI because it potentially threatens the economic interests of average white Christian workers. The left hates AI because it figures to vastly increase the wealth and power of techno-aristocrats and capitalists in general, while making the lives of millions of workers more precarious. Is an alliance between the two possible in 2028?
Yes. It would most likely be aimed at the candidacy of J.D. Vance, who will have to defend both Trump’s laissez-faire policies and his own strong ties to tech barons, but it would have an impact on the primaries in both parties. Look for the Democrats to be divided; some will call for the taxation and regulation of the goose that lays the golden egg, while others will demand more drastic action, including lengthy moratoria.
