Iran War Ends Trumpism

Christopher Caldwell (via Rod Dreher) argues the U.S. military action in Iran has so altered the political mood that the distinctive coalition and rhetorical apparatus of 'Trumpism' has collapsed or become electorally untenable. The claim links a specific foreign‑policy event (the Iran war) to a rapid realignment of domestic political identities and voting coalitions. — If the Iran war indeed neutralizes Trumpism, it would change Republican nomination contests, Congressional politics, and how voters trade off security versus populist economic grievances.
