      Alternatively, the danger of a fast-radicalizing left might be precisely why it was extremely unwise to offer, as the only alternative, Donald J. Trump.https://twitter.com/davereaboi/status/1271955760419831809 …

      Many of us saw the threat from a fast-radicalizing Left a long time ago. Others—like this writer—thought we were crazy. Now that it’s undeniable, of course he blames Trump. pic.twitter.com/oJeFgnoYg8

      If the left is radicalizing then one plausible response is to try to build the largest possible coalition on the right of center. A less plausible response is to elect a president who can't get his approval rating above 43 percent and doesn't even try to win the middle.

      Shouldn't a fast-radicalizing left be alienating a lot of middle-of-the-road Americans? Creating a lot of opportunities for Republicans? So why is the GOP losing ground even as the Democrats move left? Could it be, maybe, ever-so-slightly, the fault of the GOP's leader?

      I do think there are some white liberals who would join a Thermidorian Reaction if the GOP weren't so horrible.

          I think you, like most journalists, are drawing the wrong lesson from Gov. Hogan.

          It's kind of hilarious how "the radicalization of The Left" is such an article of faith on the Right. When what they mean is "further from a sclerotic reactionary Catholicism." It's like a clutch of Ignatius J Reilly all convincing each other that birth control is a fad.

          The Thermidorians didn't restore the monarchy. You'll get a reaction some years from now when there's a workable governing coalition that doesn't threaten to revive the demons currently animating the right wing.

          The Nation was more radical in my youth, 50 years ago, but as it got less radical I moved away from it
