It’s easy to get depressed about American politics. Some might see us shifting from the MAGA personality cult to the impending rule of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
That view is wrong and misreads the results of yesterday’s midterm elections. It may have been a disaster for the Republicans, and particularly Donald Trump, but not necessarily for the country. Despite the success of some awful lefties, notably Abdul El-Sayed (D-Muslim Brotherhood), the biggest – and most unheralded – victories were won by Democratic candidates professing a more moderate message.
Can the crazies be controlled? Or are they already in charge.
