LEFT: When an educated black man meets white trash
Hot Takes
As Donald Trump’s gold-plated cultocracy rises from the smoldering wreckage of what used to be our respected democracy, the question is this: How did our constitutional system of checks and balances allow it to happen so quickly and easily?
— Bob Salzman, letter, NYT 2026/02/19This is a president who, first, needs to be the center of attention. That’s part of tyranny, by the way — the need to constantly be the center of attention every second of every day. But second, there is simply a lack where the moral backbone would normally be or even where the moral sentiment would normally be. And he stands for nihilism, a belief in nothing. He stands for the idea — as Stephen Miller sort of put it or, if I’m going back from the Romans to the Greeks, Thucydides — that the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
— David Brooks, NYTT, 2026/02/12
