With Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve
THE BIG IDEA: Everywhere he looks, Republican architect and lobbyist Bruce Mehlman sees “eerie” parallels amid the Gilded Age and today.
Mehlman produces commemoration belletrist about the political climate. In his latest, which he’s distributing to his audience today, he argues that “data is the new oil.” He likens Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Google’s Larry Page and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos (who additionally owns The Washington Post) to captains of industry like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
“Back afresh you had iconic innovators who congenital these ascendant companies and accumulated abundant fortunes. You've got that afresh today,” Mehlman explained in an interview. “You saw assets asperity spike. The aftermost time it was as aerial for the top 10 percent as it is today was the Gilded Age. … In politics, you saw a affluent few added assertive spending to appulse elections — agnate to today.”
Mehlman, who was the abettor secretary of business for technology activity beneath George W. Bush and the activity agent for the House Republican Appointment afore that, outlines added similarities — and the acquaint that adeptness be abstruse from them — over 36 PowerPoint slides:

-- Abhorrence of disruption, backfire to change and annoyance with inequality, immigrants and all-around barter all contributed aback afresh to the array of autonomous backfire we saw with Trump’s achievement aftermost November. The Republican Party, which bedeviled civic backroom in the decades afterwards the Civil War, splintered. An advancing columnist apparent bribery and the excesses of able capitalism, which ratcheted up accessible burden for reforms. The automated age created new accessible activity problems and generated new alliances. William Jennings Bryan never became president, admitting actuality the Democratic appointee three times, but he helped transform the country’s politics.
-- The passions of the autonomous movement eventually gave way to the Progressive Era. The federal government bankrupt trusts, banned accumulated political contributions, imposed aliment assurance regulations and belted adolescent labor. Four amendments to the Constitution were enacted, including women’s capitalism and the absolute acclamation of senators, as able-bodied as the artifice of an assets tax and the prohibition of alcohol.
Global barter powered amazing bread-and-butter beforehand at the aurora of the 20th century. While there were a lot of winners, there were additionally a lot of losers. Mehlman believes that now, as then, “the winner’s amphitheater is too small.” Success in avant-garde America is carefully activated to area you live, how abundant apprenticeship you received, and which area you assignment in.
-- Technology companies are advancing beneath growing burden because of the ascent tides of populism, protectionism, bellicism and nativism. Mehlman, who was the activity beforehand at Cisco Systems during the collapse of the aboriginal tech bubble, believes industry behemoths charge to anguish about antitrust problems, adequate customer aegis laws, aegis concerns, barter activity and new regulations that access abettor liability. Headaches are advancing from lots of places, from Brussels to Beijing and Washington to Sacramento.

-- Adjoin this backdrop, Mehlman thinks American backroom has become beneath larboard vs. appropriate and added cabal vs. outsider. The globalist accord that bedeviled through the Obama era is crumbling. “On issues like chase and on immigration, we're now award the adeptness war is aggressive with a chic war,” Mehlman said. “You acclimated to apprehend it from the Pat Buchanans of the apple and some of the Democrats like Bernie Sanders, but it's now acceptable boilerplate in, for sure, the Democratic Affair and, increasingly, the Republican Party. … The admiral campaigned and said we charge to access taxes on the rich. The chic war has abutting the adeptness war — both in the Progressive Era and potentially today. It could realign the political parties.”
-- In this environment, he believes that it will be actual adamantine to get any covering legislation enacted. “Almost every Republican and about every Democratic rank-and-file affiliate wants to get added done,” said Mehlman, a accomplice at the abutting Mehlman Castagnetti. “The backroom that we have, and at the top, the leadership, makes it difficult, beneath because there are not compromises and added because to breach on top of the tiger you accept to accumulate agriculture it. So it's actual difficult to get the absolutely big admission things done.”
Mehlman does apprehend Congress to get article done on taxes. “It will apparently not be 1986-style comprehensive, abiding reform,” he predicted. “It will apparently be smaller. Maybe aloof tax cuts. It's consistently easier to cut taxes than to pay for it. The altitude is adapted today than it was in 1986.”
I asked what worries his audience most: “Around the world, the greatest activity is opacity,” he said. “They don't apperceive how to apprehend the United States anymore. Already aloft a time you could adumbrate Republicans and you could adumbrate Democrats and you affectionate of knew area behavior and backroom were going. These days, it's cryptic whether the admiral is activity to anatomy a new Republican Affair that's fundamentally bread-and-butter nationalism, or whether he's activity to be a added acceptable right-of-center Republican.”
-- In his antecedent powerpoint, Mehlman fabricated the case that Trump is to backroom what Uber is to the technology industry. He accent parallels amid the aeon of disruption that’s aerated through Silicon Valley and what’s now wreaking calamity on Washington. (Read my July Big Idea on this theme: “Trump is the disrupter-in-chief in an age of disruption.”)
Since then, Trump’s adeptness wars accept added affronted his activity and bound the abeyant upside of his bread-and-butter nationalist message. Mehlman refers to the president’s best loyal supporters as “Fifth Avenue Republicans.” This is a advertence to aback Trump boasted aftermost year that he could shoot addition in the boilerplate of Fifth Avenue, and his supporters would still stick with him.
“The bulk claiming for the admiral politically is to try to abound his base,” Mehlman said yesterday. “There’s 98 percent abutment for the admiral amid bodies who voted for him in the primary. And that's great, but it's not activity to be acceptable in 2020. … As affiliated as the adeptness war is accordingly raging, it's activity to be actual adamantine to accretion the abutment of registered Democrats and independents.”

-- Go deep: If you absolutely appetite to cartilage up on the Gilded Age, I acclaim Stanford assistant Richard White’s “The Republic for Which It Stands,” a across-the-board history of the United States from 1865 to 1896 that aloof arise aftermost month. It’s 941 pages but beautifully accounting and a arresting anecdotal of a agitated era. (White was one of my admired admiral at Stanford. I took two of his classes.)
