2-3 terms of a Trump-like, anti-establishment politician, we will get to a society where people get arrested for criticizing the government.

Ross Douthat never asks real questions and follow-ups the way a journalist would. And that's because Ross is not a journalist. He's a propagandist of a sort often found in totalitarian societies.
I wish Ross Douthat had followed up, asking Andrew Kolvet, a Turning Point USA spokesperson, to substantiate these assertions about the way that "people" supposedly are, and whether such views are "as old as time," a claim that should raise the hackles of anybody who studies history.

I don’t think anyone can downplay the role of dignity harms like this one in favor of purely material concerns and still have a coherent and realistic picture of how power actually works. But I also think the divide between dignity and material harms that these people try to draw is untenable.

The logical endpoint of class reductionism: solidarity demands that we support a racist “worker” and label anyone who takes offense at racial slurs as a decadent bourgeois.
