Do you think the thing they find objectionable about Trump, even in part, is that "he's a celebrity"?

Because that's not my problem with this administration. At all.

This feels like the exact bad faith described in the piece.

Regardless of whether you like Hasan or not he’s big enough that Third Way felt compelled to write a WSJ op-ed about him. Clearly they’re not dismissing him as an online celebrity and neither should anyone else.

It's not even really a diss. Celebrities are operating under a different incentive structure than an ideologue or even a run-of-the-mill pol. They're fame-seekers before all else. I'm sure Piker has values and beliefs but they're not his main prerogative -- engagement is.
