Great new piece by my friend Maxwell Burkey re: how Trump has “unmoored” patriotism from democracy:

Donald Trump and the unmooring of patriotism and democracy
Among the reckonings necessary in the wake of Trump’s reelection is jettisoning the notion that patriotism and democracy are synergistic.

My cab driver from LaGuardia was a Bush/McCain/Romney/Trump/Trump/Trump voter. He said that now that Biden has pardoned his son, he’s going to vote Republican in 2028.

Like 2/3 of The Federalist Papers are on “how the Constitution is awesome because it blocks guys like Trump”, and, well
It's true that Trump is outside of normal American politics, but that's because actors in the party system have historically recognized how dangerous a guy like Trump is and kept them out.
Gingrich: I think the only way you can begin to understand this is to take trump totally outside of normal American politics and recognize that he's a mythic figure. He’s like some of the people who come out of the viking sagas

There is absolutely no evidence that Walz cost Harris the election or any evidence that a different VP would have meaningfully changed the outcome
There is no greater indictment of our political media than the continued employment of this person.
