Editorial Board @dissentmag. Pretty sure I started the trend of labeling the modern US Right as “revanchist.” Charming in person, but we’re not there.

    Thru the looking glass/Trump is *not* out of step with GOP except regarding trade which is not a threshold issue. On everything else—deregulation, judges, abortion, gun rights, “religious liberty” tax cuts for rich, voter suppression et al—Trump is a *quintessential Republican.*https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1302649390180442113 …

    The problems with Trump stem from how he is abnormal & out of step with his party. The problems with Biden are precisely about how the things he does are considered normal & in step with his party.

        He's way out of step with the GOP funders on immigration.

        He pretty much did a 180 on foreign policy.

        I'd say he's out of touch on foreign policy, but he's made the "speak loudly and carry a tiny stick" thing work for him with most Republicans.

        Replying to @yeselson @jonathanchait

        Baseballhead is struggling because he knows Trump is a criminal and enabling bad people to destroy our system of ordered self-government. But he wants to pretend he's for the Republic and apple pie while getting the same policies that will end it. Which is hard.

        And being a crook with no interest in governing except to enrich certain preferred groups. That’s a bedrock GOP tenet and Trump is obviously all about that.

        You forgot foreign policy. And this discussion desperately requires a definition of the term “GOP” & “Republican”. Who is the GOP? The voters? The Congress? The apparatchiks? The pundits? Is George W Bush no longer a Republican?

        Right, to the extent that he's out of step with, say, Mitch McConnell, it's because he's willing to say random contradictory things on a range of issues that he's not going to follow through on.
