EXCERPT:

GIRIDHARADAS: “We're a country that lives in the present, thinks a lot about the future, a lot of other countries are obsessed with their past, but one -- when I was growing up, one element of history that all Americans, including children, quote repeatedly, is kind of Hitler bad, right? If Americans don't know anything else about history, Hitler bad is a pretty universal article of faith. That message has really broken through, even Americans who are not interested in history don't read history books, Hitler bad, very well firmly established foundation of the American mind. And so now a former American president trying to be an American president again, is trying to run on Hitler good. I think what John Kelly did, with Mike's admirable reporting, only he could do this, is the opposite of gaslighting, right?”
