Tim Pool spent the last 12 minutes of his podcast going line by line through my recent Newsweek op-ed, calling me insane, unhinged, and a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, so I figured we should talk about it. In this episode, I walk through the opening of his critique, explain where he gets my argument wrong, and why this debate isn’t really about Trump at all, but about whether our institutions still have a working emergency brake when dangerous leaders return to power, and why so much modern commentary would rather fantasize about civil war than do the slow work of institutional repair.
