I doubt it's narrative is completely accurate, but I think it contains a lot of truth.
Yes, it's a war. One that most of the US doesn't *get*. More of a "long twilight struggle" thing than simple posturing, nuclear talks and proxy fights.
I agree that the old order is over. Not just internationally, but domestically too. It doesn't matter if Americans want the 1950s, the 1980s, the 90s or the Obama years back. They're never coming back.
I disagree with the politico piece completely in one thing. Trump has NO possibility of being the right guy in the right place at the right time. If America needs to put its house and neighborhood in order, then Trump is the maniac with a can of gas a lighter. He'll have a big grin on his face as he watches everything burn.
Really, our only hope now is that the GOP comes to its senses and impeaches him, or that we get lucky and he's removed from office in some other not-too-damaging way.
