Machiavelli in America - Washington Examiner

David Rothkopf : Machiavelli 's idea of virtu isn’t virtuous but radical amoral strategizing.

He says the academy and the media can't accept the irruption of President Donald Trump 's election victory as an indictment of the liberal regime.

He asks: If Trump ’s electoral victories were a functioning liberal distributor, liberal distributor would never have won.

Either way, now the veil is off, the only way for the liberal regime to survive is to take a good look at itself through the eyes of the Machiavellians . Dominic Green is a Washington Examiner columnist and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society . Find him on X @drdominicgreen..
