"One of the few positives about Donald Trump's run for
president is that he's forced us to see aspects of American
culture that many instinctively turn away from. His success has
made it much harder to fall into post-racial and post-feminist
fantasies -- to imagine that hardcore racism and sexism are
marginal and declining forces. The same is true of
anti-democratic sentiment, a growing threat that is frequently
minimized if not utterly ignored." -- Jeet Heer,
"The Right Is Giving Up on Democracy" (2016-10-24, New
Republic) [thanks to
