Oh, they've been here all along, and what happens is they run into the wall of "don't engage, just block" and then they get frustrated that no one will bother with them. They just mewl "debate me" in sad, abandoned tones, out in the cornfield, all alone.

No intellectually honest person can say MeToo has gone too far. Even Bill Cosby is out of prison, and Weinstein‘s NY conviction was overturned. Cuomo is running for political office ffs! MeToo scared abusers so much they nipped it in the bud before there could be real change.

Good trade policy means protecting US farmers and workers, selling more American goods abroad, and lowering costs for families. None of that is what Donald Trump has done with his tariffs.

In retrospect, it continues to seem like a really bad decision by the New York Times to push out Paul Krugman, their longtime columnist who won his Nobel Prize in the economics of trade and geography right before we have 4 years where trade policy is the #1 crisis in the country.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices. At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.
