it is interesting and a little horrifying that serious right-wingers really do believe that the left has won an almost total victory over the last few decades and that this is why everything is going to poo poo

not even talking bizarre throwbacks like peter hitchens, this is a pretty common attitude among the hard right

critical analysis of any ideological bent in mainstream politics has been pushed to the sidelines so hard that an event like the Taiping Rebellion could plausibly happen

I'm honestly astounded that the Chapos think there will be less culture war stuff if a Democrat's in office when practically all of the culture war stuff they hate started under Obama.

Biden will have won without owing liberal culture warriors anything. The culture war will still go on but very little of it will come from the Biden administration.

yeah that seemed like a really dumb take. all the idpol bullshit is just gonna ramp up under a democratic administration as a cudgel against any sort of class-based criticism of policy

Minus the communist part obviously, I've had this thought myself. It isn't a stretch to think that there will be constant infighting in a Biden administration, especially between the VP, who will necessarily have expectations of becoming president, and whoever controls Biden, especially Jill. What if Joe really does become incapacitated, but his "team" don't want to lose their positions to the VP's?

this is the main reason i'm not 100% sure that it's going to be kamala harris. she's ambitious and vicious enough that she could very plausibly take charge of the party and build her own machine of weirdo loyalists, and i think the biden people are wary of that

I hate to be stigmatizing but he is basically in permanent meltdown mode because he has trouble controlling his bipolar disorder. Every new dispatch I see from him usually has an explainer about him returning from a hiatus with a different and original excuse.

It's funny because the Trump admin is already ridiculously factionalist, but at least Pence and the evangelical psychos he represents are held back by Trump being an irreplaceable figurehead. Somehow, the Dems will do worse.

Besides the ghoulishness and hypocrisy of many of the individual people who signed that Harper's open letter, Harpers for years has basically existed as the vanity project of John Macarthur, grandson of the billionaire who founded the MacAuthor grant foundation, who got the magazine from his daddy. It's basically been the refugee for anti-metoo, cancelled sex creeps, anti-feminism, and people who think they're slightly too good for Quilette type blogs like Lionel Shriver. Basically against anything an old man would deem as the kids going too far.
The magazine has been through three editors in the past 10 years who have been fired or quit in protest of someone else being fired because of the whims of MacArthur, the last one being fired for questioning the publication of that half-baked Katie Roiphe metoo hit piece (which was largely just complaining about various younger women in media's tweets once her scoop of trying to out the lovely Media Men creator (who also sucks but that's a different story) was preempted). This and the usual union busting. Also maybe it's just because they'll put their names on anything, but there's some sort of terf subtheme going through the list of people signing.

Hell, the only "defense" of it is that Noah Chomsky signed the letter with "But he had seen a lot of his colleagues go down on free speech clauses" which immediately goes to poo poo when you see that a bunch of the signatures are from people who had a big hand on such!
