I liked his original premise about Americans insisting on being identified with a political label, as meaningless as most of them have become. But he loses me with some of his subsequent conclusions. Those stereotypes may be stupid, but they are not at all the same. It’s a lazy analysis to say all philosophies are corrupt and therefore the same. And to insist that Trump is a “liberal,” a term he has already said has no meaning, is missing the biggest thing about Trump. Conmen don’t support political philosophies. He’s an opportunist. He’s the easiest person of all to analyze, being so unfathomably stupid that there’s little left to figure out. And no, traditional conservatism will not come back. The GOP is dead and MAGA is still winning political power, and those folks are so convinced they’re right about everything, that they couldn’t care less whether they are a punchline or not.

Another dime-a-dozen rant against Trump, the person, that fails to critique even a single one of his actual policies, many of which were quite sound and precisely what America needs, then as now.

I’ve read this guy’s stuff on your blog before, and he’s been half decent, but this is just TDS-spew of the laziest variety. You can do a lot better.
