i gave a talk last night and one of the points i made is that in addition to articulating a real defense of the Constitution, the opposition to Trump needs an actual constitutional vision that it can connect to a set of material policies.

President Jimmy Carter—a farmer, an engineer, a public servant, and a pragmatist—believed that government should serve the American people. He governed in a time not unlike our own when people struggled to keep the faith in American institutions. 🧵(1/4)
