This is The Opinions, a show that brings you a mix of voices from New York Times Opinion.
You've heard the news.
Here's what to make of it.
I'm David Leonhart, an editorial director in New York Times Opinion,
and this is America's Next Story.
A series about the ideas that once held our country together and those that might do so again.
We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.
Ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
America is too great for small dreams.
Change is what's happening in America.
And we will make America great again.
God bless you and good night.
I love you.
Since Donald Trump took over the Republican Party a decade ago,
there's always been this big question.
Is his success mostly about him personally?
Or is he instead a vessel for ideas that will continue to dominate the political right after he leaves office?
There's a group of conservative thinkers who are working to make sure that Trumpism ends up being more than just Trump.
They reject the globalism that the Republican Party once embraced.
