An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Trump is too inept to be of use to US allies or adversaries while Vance wants to pursue an arrogantly deluded path that turns US allies into more adversaries.
