Episode notes
MAGA Art Show Observations
- Brace Belden recounts visiting a MAGA art show and noticing fandom-focused Trump art rather than policy debate.
- He describes surreal Trump imagery and a crowd where political substance took a back seat to cult-like devotion.
Empire Spoken Plainly
- The NSS frames diplomacy openly around aligning diplomatic and corporate interests rather than veiling it in human-rights rhetoric.
- Brace Belden and Liz Franczak emphasize the document's plain, unapologetic pursuit of commercial advantage.
Realism With Primacy
- The NSS mixes 'flexible realism' with a primacy goal: keep overwhelming power so no state can challenge the U.S.
- That combination justifies preemptive force against hypothetical threats under a realist veneer.
