6. Douthat has always painted the Republican side of every argument in rosy terms

For Douthat, every whack job move made by Republicans, no matter how extreme, can somehow be painted as "reasonable."

He wrote how fair and normal it was to nominate a woman for the Supreme Court who seems like she would be more at home as a member of the Spanish Inquisition.

This column again seems like a "remain calm, so it won't hurt quite as badly when we shove that red hot poker up your asses--again."

No thanks. I will not remain calm. I will not relax my guard. I will not believe that Trump will go quietly until he is really gone, and has done so quietly. He and his henchmen know what awaits them if we get a halfway competent Attorney General after the inauguration. Even if Trump isn't concerned now, they are. He can't very well load them all into Air Force One after the inauguration and file a new flight plan for Sheremetyevo.
