"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 [info] realinterrobang for quoting this earlier]
