Early in this essay about redefining conservatism etc. in this rather good analysis of what Trump and his supporters hath wrought:
Options for the future shape of American conservatism are not confined to what came before Trump and what Trump himself represents.
His role is not that of builder, constructing some compelling new vision to compete with the old one, but of earthquake, toppling everything built with flawed principles on shaky foundations and leaving open space in which to build anew.
???More earthquake??? is not a rebuilding plan. The question is where old structures should be resurrected and what new ones should be preferred. [boldface added]
Put another way, Trump discovered and uncovered a new version of what was wrong well ahead of his candidacy and incumbency.
Pay attention, btw, to the rich commentary that follows . . .
