Great post, Brian.

Reading EA-adjacent thinkers - for example, Robin Hanson - one gets the impression that the common ground may be opposition not only to criticism of broken institutions, but also to the Democrats' foreign policy. I am thinking, for instance, of the escalation with Russia and the risk of a nuclear strike, which has now entered the realm of possibility. On this matter Hanson [https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1574098781661908993] basically shares the same view as former Trump official Elbridge Colby [https://twitter.com/ElbridgeColby/status/1574137509801611271].

Very interesting. Hanania's TV/Read article makes it clear that almost any movement which hopes to be effective should focus on Republicans. All you need to accomplish your goals is catch Trump on a good day, even if your proposal will anger the GOP establishment.
