Perhaps it was fatalism that led commentator Matt Yglesias to conclude that “the groypers are winning.” Maybe there was an element of self-satisfaction to it. But Yglesias’s assessment was at least comprehensible.
The fracas that Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts ignited last week, when he implicitly defended the presence of racists and antisemites in the Republican coalition by embracing the right-wing podcaster who never met an anti-American figure that he wouldn’t platform, had been a long time coming. Roberts likely concluded that there would be no serious consequences for such recklessness. But he was wrong.
