Exceptions to the Rule

Thinking about that last post below, I believe what Goodhart describes are decent generalities but far from exclusive categories. By his descriptions, the DrsC should be Anywheres.

The DrsC are clearly cosmopolitans in the sense that we are highly educated and have traveled across much of the world, well over 100 countries at last count. Nevertheless we haven't drunk the country-doesn't-matter Kool-Aid; we are still very much patriots and nationalists,

Making America Great Again sounds to us like a perfect presidential job description. Trying to optimize outcomes for humanity is the job of the U.N. Secretary General, or perhaps the Pope, not the U.S. President. The President is our advocate, a role Trump's predecessor seemed to find repugnant.
