      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.

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

      21. RT @Ed_Baptist wait a minute, the man built casinos covered in fake gold, with other people's money, but he's going to end decadence.

      22. What makes Trump decadent post-modern figure is he's mimicking earlier achievements. He's not Henry Ford who makes things but a "brand"

      23. Trump is a reality show Robber Baron who performs capitalist mastery ("you're fired") in era where real capitalism is in doldrums.

          24. Enough for now. As Mr. Douthat shrewdly noted, my argument is pilfered from @CoreyRobin's Reactionary Mind. Read it.

          @HeerJeet interesting contrast with the grey-flannel technocracy of the postwar or the dressed-down recent past of Silicon Valley, though
