If I had had a blog back in 2000, I would have written a column like Ezra Klein’s piece on Trump, except it would have been about George W. Bush. I don’t know how you could live through the Bush presidency and say that now is the first time you’ve really been afraid of the direction of American politics. What more could Bush have done to ruin this country than he did? Even if you weren’t afraid at the beginning, you should have been terrified by 2002. Why do you think I spent the last eleven years of my life doing this?
