Although mild, by imperialist/exceptionalist terms, and a valuable voice for reason in a situation where reason is at a premium, Prof. Mearsheimer still sees the world in terms of old-fashioned Machiavellian power competition.

Few things underscore the complete erasure of clean and rational political life in the US than the hugely ironic fact that this supposedly proud nation, by self-designation the “exemplar” of global democracy, must now rely on an erratic billionaire to rescue its highly endangered (if not virtually dead) First Amendment. And the danger—mind you—is not so much coming from native fascists as from simply deranged centrists—Democrats—the party of US liberaldom that likes to think itself as the repository of everything that’s decent: freedom, compassion, egalitarianism, and the rest of the Marvel Comics fantasy values. Incidentally, before we get really excited about this new white night, Musk is the same guy who very recently had no trouble proposing the theft of Bolivia’s Lithium via a dirty coup.
