An interesting interview by Ross Douthat. I do think it provides useful insight into Trump.
[Update Monday afternoon]
Here is the Brit Hum post where I found the link, that allowed me to read the interview:
This is long but very much worth reading. It may be the best defense of Trump (and Vance) I have read. https://t.co/FgidWMTRJG

We’re not buying what they’re selling.
The average age of our two cars is seventeen years. I might buy something newer if my finances dramatically improved, but I’m also leery of all of the “features” in the newer cars. When I look at new car prices, I think about what I could do with the (2000) BMW if I put two or three thousand into it, especially given how new stick shifts are an endangered species.
I hope that SCOTUS will force a rollback of all the illegal mandates coming from Washington.
Yes, the notion that everyone should get a college degree has been tremendously destructive.
RIP.
I saw one of his last (maybe his last) speeches at LibertyCon in DC a few months ago (during my trial, but on the weekend). He didn’t look well, but I didn’t know that he had cancer.

Sorry, link added.
The Biden administration wants to do this nationwide, but they’ll have to do it with illegal executive orders, because they’d never get the needed legislation through Congress.
The biggest county in the lower 48 wants to secede from California.
I think there would be adequate resources to support it. I imagine a lot of Californians would move there if it happened.
In the real world, people are hurting.
And all the gaslighting from the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) isn’t going to change their minds.
Republicans are a growing threat to Democrats there.
No, there’s nothing noble about them, and in fact they are doing a lot of evil.

The Non-Profit Industrial Complex and the corruption of the American city.
And Jeffrey Carter says it’s time to blow it up.
