Ross refers to the Biden admin's progressive "auto-pilot" (seriously?) policies as unthinkable and sure-to-be-unpalatable to the seemingly intransigent less-than-progressive to downright backward red states. ALL of this poller-coaster logic dances around a predicate of a broad electorate that is overlooking less than abject pitfalls for a successful campaign. It seems to me that the through-line of glaring negligence in this piece--if not within the broad electorate--is the presupposition that there could actually be a legitimately sufficient number of citizens embracing a Democracy obviating constitution shredding authoritarian regime led by a megalomaniacal narcissist who's presently answering to 89+ criminal and civil indictments. Wouldn't one think the gravitas of that particular peril would eclipse these pick-the-fly-shite-out-of-pepper liabilities in which Mr. Douthat inexplicably seems ridiculously confident?
