Do you know what time it is? It is the best of times, it is the worst of times, it is a new golden age, it is an era of American carnage, the radical left threatens the Constitution, the MAGA right endangers Our Democracy, right-wing misinformation should be suppressed, left-wing hate speech should face consequences.
Even as they battle with each other, elements of both the “woke” and the “based” vanguards exhibit a disenchantment, bordering on disgust, with the American regime. One side is allegedly awake to the pervasiveness of systemic racism, Christian nationalism, and national ignominy. The other claims to see the rotten basis of modern liberalism (whether the infernal creator is William of Ockham, Martin Luther, or John Locke) and to glimpse the brutal truths that bourgeois politics obscure.
