      9. If see conservatism as shifting discourse of resentment in defence of privilege, we can understand why Trumpism flourishes on the right

      10. The privilege Trump is defending is particular one: the white privilege displaced by changing demographics & social norms (PC)

      11. Because Trump's defence of white privilege encompasses white working class (who are genuinely distressed) it has claims to be populist

      12. Animating every conservatism is a vision of a Paradise Lost, an Eden destroyed. For Burke: the Versailles of Marie Antoinette

      14. If Burke had Court of Marie Antoinette, what is Trump's Paradise Lost? I'd say mid-century America. John Wayne's America.

      15. It's not an accident Trump is trumpeting endorsement of John Wayne's family. Trump's promise is a return to John Wayne's world.

      17 MT @DouthatNYT Trump's promise is the end of decadence, the return of growth, the revival of (yes, mid-century vision of) the USA Future.

      18. Mr. Douthat is right about that facet of Trump's appeal: to idea that mid-20th-century USA was place of can-do vigor & competence.

      19. As ridiculous as Trump seems to non-fans, to his base he embodies managerial competence. The America that could do things.

          @HeerJeet Kind of ironic, given that conservatives likely to vote for Trump don’t want the government to do anything; they want it to vanish

          20. Good question. RT @BrentNYT How can he credibly "promise the end of decadence" when he embodies it?

          @HeerJeet @BrentNYT because he is not beholden to the promise of decadence -having already achieved it he can move past it.

          @HeerJeet Is this disaffection and support for him there because middle class workers feel left out of today's US? Inequality doesn't help.
