Trumpism's rise and near total takeover of the GOP has fundamentally changed the political landscape. To talk through what's going on, and the best ways to approach understanding the evolution of the illiberal right, I'm joined today by Damon Linker (@DamonLinker), author of the Substack newsletter Eyes on the Right. He's also a Senior Fellow with the Open Society Project at the Niskanen Center and a weekly participant on the Beg to Differ podcast at The Bulwark.
