I have a piece on the home page on DeSantis Derangement Syndrome that mentions an outlandish headline on a Jonathan Chait piece:

“Ron DeSantis Would Kill Democracy Slowly and Methodically,” read the headline in New York Magazine several months ago.
Note the wording. It’s not that he “could,” or “might,” kill (!) democracy, which would represent a large enough claim; it’s that he definitely would.

Chait responded on Twitter:

This is still crazy. Chait believes that DeSantis has already decided to “kill” American democracy, and it’s only a change of heart that could set him on a different course.

Like I said, the derangement is running strong now.
