A Bildungsroman in which Trump is the protagonist would have but one page: a table of contents that is empty.

Wow. Good job, I had absolutely no awareness of this word. JVL deserves more than I can properly give.

IтАЩm an old man. IтАЩm not real encouraged at the prospect of Trumpism and MAGA eventually тАЬfading away.тАЭ In my last years IтАЩd at least like to see significant progress in developing a coherent alternative to it and to Democratic complicity in neoliberalismтАЩs savaging of the social order.
