In truth,
@mattyglesias does a good job explaining neo- conservatism & why it's had such a pernicious real-world impact (and why it is at odds with Trumpism). I wouldn't dispute any of that.5 replies 2 retweets 47 likesShow this thread -
I disagree with this: "But though Trump’s vision of world affairs is wrong, the Kristol-ite alternative is even more dangerous." Kristol's foreign policy has done more real world damage to date. But if Trump is given enough time, he could easily match Kristol/Bush.

Trump's foreign policy is a bit of a mess but the component parts (willingness to take bribes for personal enrichment, turning alliances into straight-up protection racket, supporting racist nationalist movements in Europe, hard anti-immigrant stance) are all pernicious.
