“So how did it become this sudden four-alarm fire in the house of democracy? The answer is depressingly simple. It is this year’s war on Christmas. It’s sharia law, gay wedding cake, New black Panthers.

“There are no words—nice ones. anyway—for the cynicism of those who employ these crude manipulations. Or for the gullibility and stupidity of those who let them get away with it . . . What other words are appropriate to people who, as the planet burns, as the pandemic decimates, as the rich get richer and the random bullets fly, think their children’s greatest threat arises from an obscure academic doctrine?”
