Iraq War architect Robert Kagan is very worried about the future of American democracy. (He's mostly not wrong, but his solution is ... moderate Republicans save the day.)

Jack Shafer in response is less apocalyptic and more pep rallyish, c'mon team, we can take 'em.

I'm watching the rapid radicalization of a whole bunch of local Republicans in my county — and they were already plenty far right — and I veer between despairing certainty of doom and remembering how clueless and incompetent they are. A bunch of parents showed up for an anti-mask rally organized by the actual John Birch Society, and I guarantee most of the parents had no idea what the John Birch Society was. Things are getting kooky.

The mainstream right is becoming less fastidious about publicly distancing themselves from the far right and white nationalists.

I think that it's because of my location and demographics, but if anything, I've noticed that the boomer Republicans I know (my parents and some of their friends, for example) have all quit the party and have moved to the Dems since Trump.
But as numerous articles have made note of, these people are "Northeast" Republicans of the old school, many of whom are actually to the *left* of sitting Dems in power at the moment.
Anyway, anecdotal, still interesting to me.
