Waiting is the hardest part

Recommended Reading: I thought Fareed Zakaria was spot on in his Washington Post column about Donald Trump’s re-election strategy and the conundrum within it. This reminded me of one of the most instructive books for our time, The Anatomy of Fascism, by Robert Paxton, which makes the point that strongmen inevitably burn themselves out once they are elected, because their strength is in fighting government, not being a part of it. Also from the seer of this crisis, Laurie Garrett, a damning piece about the Trump administration’s handling of the Covid emergency.
