curious whether leftists attacking mccain after he criticized trump helps or hurts plausible mccain objective of undermining trump. cases:
1. mccain + those w/ similar mindset see they'll get no support from should-be fellow travelers and say fuck it, fuck these people
-
-
2. mccain + similar are attacked by left, building their cache on right. weird story but maybe fits with caplan model of right politics
-
3. mccain and similar don't gaf because they don't need those voters and left will support undermining trump regardless. no effect.
-
anyway it seems like bad form on the left to burn potential allies to ingroup signal otoh this is the story of the contemporary left so

HUH. do you mind if I ask what you make of this? http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2015/10/my_simplistic_t.html … obviously pro-market writer, but is story ~correct?

other question: is opposition to capitalism sole objective of left, or are any other ends seen as desirable?
-
seems like trump in many ways more anti-market (eg, on trade) than establishment, should garner left support in this model?
