And those accusations will only grow in volume as more flesh appears on the bones of “Burnhamism”. He has established that he recognises and inhabits the world that many voters feel is alien to the so-called political (or, indeed, media) class. He is speaking to inequality not just of outcomes and incomes but also of subtler, more personal life experiences. When Burnham talks of their importance and pledges to protect them, he is not promising to turn back time and somehow reopen shuttered premises. And the feeling this engenders in all genuine patriots, as opposed to the bozos hanging flags on lampposts or politicians bleating nonsensically about “anti-white racism”, is hope.
