    This is one of the stronger and more thoughtful book reviews of a politics book I’ve read in a while.

    The author’s quote is a good summary of it.

    @EricLevitz: We're all subject to the same biases that enable conservatives to look at our president and see a great statesman. If our archaic cognitive software hasn't blinded us to Trump’s depravity, we can't claim to be the sole authors of our relative moral clarity
