Tyler Cowen rips Scott Alexander a new one for not thinking...this is a huge problem for all the anti-Trumpers - they simply think reflexively everything he's doing is evil. 

Take Harvard. A common refrain at this moment amongst those I'm most sympathetic to goes something like this - yes, Harvard is really messed up and needs fixing, but Trump has gone overboard and wants to vindictively destroy the institution. But where I differ from them - I don't see Harvard fixing itself. How can they? What indication is there Harvard is even trying? The place is captured. All the canaries in the coal mine are dead. It's probably been captured or borderline captured for 25 years, but only now is it self evident to everyone outside their walls. There are approximately 0% conservative faculty. They had a President who was a plagiarist. They are controlled by a cabal of billionaire offspring with weird agendas. If they could've changed, it would've happened. They can't. And everyone knows it. So the only choice you've got is Trump or someone like Trump or more of the same.
