Something Lind and I discuss here that I continue to find surprising is that there's been so little effort to build an intellectual infrastructure around Trumpism. vox.com/podcasts/2019/…
My best guess is that it reflects Trump's own lack of interest in Trumpism as an ideology, as opposed to a vehicle for personal power and glory, but it's striking how few Trumpist institutions have emerged, and how much the conservative think tanks, etc, remain the same.
The big exception here is conservative media. But that's the point: look at how sharply Tucker Carlson has pivoted to reflect Trump and build out a Trumpism. You don't see much that's comparable among conservative think tanks, interest groups, etc.
