"...Trump has presided over a comprehensive assault on intellectual standards in public life. Trump is a stupid man surrounded by other stupid people, who appeals to the dumbest instincts in the polity with a vocabulary of relentless idiocy. His administration systematically disregards science and expertise; its officials statements frequently contain misspellings; his entire persona is based on insulting the intelligence of the American public in the belief that even the crudest lies will go undetected by his infinitely credulous tribal fan base."

That was on purposesess Hillman. The point of the article is that Trump's base can't keep up with intelligent life.

Gotta love a leftist
Gotta love a leftist "intellectual". The greatest result of the Trump Presidency is how he has drawn out people like Jonathon Chait to reveal themselves in all of their condescending glory.

I'm betting the "greatest result" will be the huge wins for female politicians in 2018, 2020 and beyond. Women's march was the largest march in this countries history. More marches like that and we might actually get something or they will make marching illegal by selling the streets to corporation then claim protesters are trespassing.

Wow! "Condescending glory?"
You really have zero self awareness.
You have to be the most condescending, pretentious, pseudointellectual bag o'shit I've ever come across.
