    Trumpism, as articulated or gestured at by the Banons/ Oren Casses/Riehan Salams (or those conservatives who reject the fusionist dead consensus), might have some features which are more attractive than Democratic neoliberalism, but however appealing these may be and no matter if you could square these with the evident deficiencies (other anti-egalitarian or bigoted currents/valences), the fact is nothing like Trumpism (working class trade unionism/isolationism, say) is actually on the menu for any actual lawmaker, including Trump himself (a cursory look at his term evinces this).

    So no, Trump is bad, obviously so, just like any other Republican, and he’s worse than the libs who are deranged about him, but, to his credit, he’s much, much, much funnier than they are.
