I’m sure Bret Stephens and Ross Douthat can turn this utterly incoherent screeching into a masterful if audacious Plan ™, with the help of a little Straussian hermeneutics and equally powerful pharmaceuticals.

As I’ve mentioned before, one big problem on the liberal left is that a lot of people are simply incapable of believing that Mike Johnson et al really do believe what they say they believe, because if you’re not a fundamentalist Evangelical, what these people say they believe sounds utterly insane — no different really than David Icke’s Lizard People thesis. But they absolutely do believe it. Views differ, as they say in the journalism schools, which will soon cease to exist, along with a lot of other things.
