Speak for yourself!
It's a too-easy comeback, but I'm saying it anyway... to David Brooks, for his "Trump Has Made Us All Stupid."Anyway... that's the headline, the bait.
The column itself is about Trump and Iran and Brooks isn't saying — even on that topic — that everyone is being stupid. Some people did the un-stupid thing and judged the killing of Soleimani in terms of risk and potential benefits. Others — he names Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — "pontificated on the easy question not actually on the table: Should we have a massive invasion of Iran?"
This was... fear-stoking apocalyptic language. By being so overwrought and exaggerated, the echo chamber drowned out any practical conversation.... This is Trump’s ultimate victory. Every argument on every topic is now all about him. Hating Trump together has become the ultimate bonding, attention-grabbing and profit-maximization mechanism for those of us in anti-Trump world...Sounds bleak, but Brooks ends with hope: "Maybe once the Inflammatory One is finally gone from the scene we can have an intelligent conversation about that." So you see, "Trump has made us all stupid," but when he leaves we, the people who got inflamed by this one man, will be regain the intelligence we lost.
Love or hate him, Trump has used military force less than any other president since Jimmy Carter. When it comes to foreign policy, he is not like recent Republicans. He is, as my colleague Ross Douthat put it, a Jacksonian figure, wanting to get America out of foreign entanglements while lobbing a few long-distance attacks to ensure the crazy foreigners stick to killing one another and not us.
And this is the final paradox. For all the Sturm und Drang that surrounds Trump, populist Republicans and Democrats are gravitating toward the same foreign policy... [A] populist left-right curtain is descending around America....
