“The constitutional settlement that once governed the United States has broken down. The world that we knew is gone. The second Trump Administration is working their hardest to forge a new settlement: an ugly settlement, based on personal authoritarian power and MAGA culture war. Is Trump II a structural result of a breakdown, or is Trump himself a singular and contingent cause of breakdown? At this point it hardly matters. Something has broken. The world that we were born in no longer exists. It is the task of this essay to ask what broke and what Trump II is trying to put in its place.” (04/24/25)
