#1 I have a few quibbles of terminology.
"in the form of a new transnational hybrid regime that is post-liberal democratic"
It is indeed post-liberal, but I don't think it is inherently democratic. There is more of a faux-populist "Bread-and-circuses" gloss to it, but I don't think what the people say will carry much water. Only what the 'correct' people say.

"this alternative ideology [of] 'transnational progressivism' ... constitutes a universal and modern worldview that challenges in theory and practice both the liberal democratic nation-state in general and the American regime in particular."

It is not a modern, but a post-modern worldview.

I believe it was Bob Bennett that pointed out that the divide between post-modernism and otherwise is the starkest fault line in our culture. Fonte's work shows where that leads, and it isn't to an America I recognize.
