      Something I didn't fully realize till the past month: it's dangerous to have a leader whose base holds him to a low standard. If Trump's base insisted he take charge of the Covid-19 response, he'd have to. But since they're satisfied with press conferences, that's all we get.

      It a literal sense that's true, but it's oblique enough to frustrate correction. It wasn't low standards. He was giving his coalition of bases exactly what they respectively wanted. It was a collection of confused standards.

      Since 2015, people who supported or acquiesced to Trump have had one factor in common: They mistakenly and tragically priced him as a call option instead of an over-leveraged bet in an inherently volatile instrument. Thats what he always exploits and is still trying to exploit.

      M*GA saw huge upside to a champion for their culture war causes in the White House — someone who would loudly hate the Dems, media, liberals, science, and "political correctness." They ignored the predictable catastrophic costs. A robust COVID-19 response compels reevaluation

      Socially liberal, fiscally conservatives fantasized about lowered taxes & reduced regulations boosting their businesses and 401(K)s. They ignored obvious social harm and bullets in the Russian Roulette chamber thinking they were shielded from downside risks. They were wrong.

      So what's he to do now? Follow the script. Keep playing group off of group in a tangled web of real and petty grievances. Keep supporters from pricing in the costs to truth, American democratic health, and institutional capacity. Hatred misdirection.https://dispatches.artifexdeus.com/donald-trump-is-hari-seldon-75bd789637d9 …

      I think the smart bet now is: he will fail. Body bags weigh a lot. But it's still a race between corrected beliefs and a consequent reallocation of power versus a god damn virus — and one of those things doesn't stumble over out-group calculus.
