On Stephen Macaulay’s ‘Reagan on Tariffs’ (right column) --  You lay out Reagan’s text beautifully. I wrote about the same controversy from a different angle: how our fixation on Reagan’s ‘purity test’ for conservatism keeps limiting our democratic imagination. The ad wasn’t just about tariffs — it exposed how both Trump and his critics are still orbiting the myth of Reagan rather than confronting what his era really set in motion. –Steward Beckham (via Substack)
