Douthat is spineless, deceitful, and entirely transactional—the journalistic equivalent of Susan Collins garbed in an Opus Dei habit.

Guess what? Ross will be hawking his reactionary religious leanings on CBS News 60 Minutes.

Perfect.

Bene abierit.

"But I lived through the years of peak woke, and it was a McCarthyite experience. I lived with the blue-state governance that doctrinaire progressivism encouraged, and it yielded civic and educational collapse. And I would prefer not to give the far left the power to regulate and prosecute and rewrite the federal budget."

No, it wasn't. You project as all good right-wingers do. It is MAGA oligarchs that long for civic and educational collapse. You support them as the lesser of evils—a haven for your conservative Christian world.

Shiver in your reactionary fear. The populist backlash isn't your boogeyman, Hassan Piker. It's us. And we are coming for them. You better find a new habit Ross.
