"Trumpism is not a protest against how the world works." Matt Ford writes.

It is a rejection of the very concept of knowing how the world works. Ignorance is a virtue, and knowledge is a vice. All that matters is what Trump thinks, regardless of whether it can be independently verified or held accountable. By electing Trump, many of his movement's adherents hoped to prove that their lack of expertise was as good as any credential that some liberal egghead could obtain from a woke, biased university.

Now we are living through their dreams come true.
