“Putin is smart enough not to believe his own propaganda. Trump isn’t.”

“I know there are some “decent” Republicans who are inwardly cringing at what their party has become. But the key word is “inwardly”: few Republican officeholders or media personalities are willing to oppose Trumpism publicly because to do so would likely be ruinous to them personally. So these invertebrates become accomplices to misdoing on a scale that would have revolted the Founding Fathers. For the time being, I echo the thirteenth-century French abbot who, when asked by Crusaders how to tell devout Catholics from apostates, reportedly advised them to kill them all and let God sort them out.”
