Here’s a paywall-free link to David Brooks’ latest opinion piece in the NY Times that expands on a set of principles first compiled by Italian historian Carlo Cipolla in 1976 to explain what’s happening with the Trump administration currently and MAGA in general. Without being too accusatory toward the general populace, it has been a useful explainer (for me).
