Over the weekend a friend convinced me to read the Miran "whitepaper", and that's how I knew this was going to be maximally stupid.

The whole set of implausibilities and ahistorical retellings weren't just internally inconsistent, even the plausible ideas depended on a Trump administration acting in a coherent, thoughtful, disciplined manner.
A *Trump* administration!
