It all started here, with Ross Douthat discussing what Reaganism may or may not be in 2018.
True Reaganism isn't the same as Reaganism, though.

Hrm.
More seriously, I think GOP establishment thought that base really cared about debt and government cutting and could be effectively managed on immigration.
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) March 26, 2018
Actual Republicans do care about debt and cutting spending … we just don’t have a whole lot of actual Republicans in office right now.
it was not an unreasonable belief, since the Tea Party turned on debt and government cutting

Psst … Ian, adults are talking.
Shhhh.
I think you should go back to high school and let the grownups take it from here

Oh boy.
Ian prattled on some more …

What the?
Oh, that’s right, all Ian can do is claim the GOP is racist.
You’d think by now his race card would have reached its limit but apparently not …
I love political analysis of the kind a 7 year old offers, only my 7 year old is far too intelligent to say anything this vulgar and idiotic.

Oof.
And truth.
This editor’s 10-year-old son has brighter, and better talking points than Ian, but we digress.
Any intellectual tendency in which Ian Milhiser serves as any kind of theorist really ought to try finding new thinkers on Craigslist

Then there’s the Facebook market.
