"I managed to figure out that the New York Democrat who ran for president on Ross Perot's Reform party in 2000 before suspending his campaign in outrage over the "kooks and racists" like David Duke and Pat Buchanan in the party wasn't actually orange Hitler, and was really just a big-tent populist this whole time. Aren't I a geeeenius!?"
I really resent that political commentators in the legacy media are so fucking retarded, because it enables lukewarm takes like this to actually seem intelligent to a not insignificant amount of people.
Strategically speaking, having an awful cabinet, filled with the same neoconservatives Trump railed against in his campaign was probably his single biggest mistake, yet I can't say I've ever even heard Styx mention it. Styx does often single out things that are issues, but never the largest issues. He really has an odd style of analysis in that regard. He can spot problems, and causes of problems, but almost never the most important ones, and as such misses the forest for the trees. I think his spat with null a few weeks back is an almost perfect example of that.
