Considering the source, Kagan isn’t a right winger like Glenn Jacobs or Jason Zachary. He’s a Brookings institute fellow, recently busted on AOC for not saying anything about what’s going down in Nicaragua. His msg in that opinion essay is spot on and leaves little room for doubt about the moment we’re facing.

IMV the sooner a critical mass of ppl recognize the undeniable fact that a fascistic, dominionist, anti-science, white supremacist group has hijacked the GOP the sooner the one-way ratchet operating on the GOP and the body politic can be slowed and possibly turned back. There is no room for moderates now in the GOP. It shouldn't need to be said but for some reason(s) here we are. Some, like Jason Zachary, are literally protesting AGAINST masks in largely unventilated schoolrooms during a pandemic caused by a very infectious respiratory virus. Incredibly, electeds in the US - protesting AGAINST policies that protect students and their teachers from being infected. Glen Jacobs, Jason Zachary are dangerous, unserious people who have nothing to offer and with whom conversations and persuasion aren't possible or sufficient. They've been aided in constructing an epistemic bubble that prevents acknowledging an objective reality. Not at all leftist radicals like Kagan are saying this. Norman Ornstein said it over ten years ago. Simple issue is whether or not what's become measurable and clear to ppl like Kagan, Ornstein et al will likewise become obvious to enough other people before it's simply too late.
