Donald Trump, beware this is what a global liberal fightback looks like | Timothy Garton Ash
Briefly

Amid rising anti-liberal nationalism, both domestically and globally, there is a pressing need for a unified liberal response to counter these movements. The author emphasizes that, to uphold individual freedoms, power must be dispersed and scrutinized. Moreover, past liberal policies, particularly neoliberalism and identity politics, have contributed to a sense of neglect among various societal groups, challenging the liberal promise of equal respect for all. The upcoming Canadian election presents a pivotal opportunity for liberalists to reaffirm their commitment to equality and resist authoritarianism.
Liberalism must focus on dispersing and controlling power, creating a countervailing force against the rise of nationalist populism and the authoritarian assertions of major powers.
We must recognize that past liberal policies have inadvertently fueled criticism, particularly by neglecting the concerns of economically and culturally marginalized groups within society.
