“These risks are analyzed one by one, news article by news article. We understand them in isolation. Yet they are different entry points into the same underlying structure — a complex and tightly coupled system where the specific source of stress matters less than how quickly that stress can spread.

One of the most pernicious beliefs of the MAGA cult is their commitment to the idea that Trump is a strategic genius.
