Oren Cass has a knack for reverse engineering a reasoned explanation for Trump’s latest policy, only to fall out of sync when it turns out Trump doesn’t work that way.
Here he is last week lamenting how “commentators stuck in the old world seem confused” in worrying about the US being dragged into a war with Iran. Instead, he explains confidently, Israel will “handle its own business”, while an “America First” US will “step back from conflicts in the Middle East”.

Speaking as a non-avian, I feel sure that this would be a highly suitable building material. I will go and fetch it immediately.’

We imagine the right as monolithic at our peril. Reply guys love, love, love to lecture me about how These People are all the same. Here’s the thing: they are not, and imagining they are is self-defeating. The right has been •incredibly• effective at finding fracture points on the left and jamming a crowbar into them.
