Win or lose, there remains a real measure of promise and decency in America that is worth the fight. And win or lose, there is no dignity for any of us unwilling to have that fight.

Definitely laugh at Dreher but also remember that he’s a dedicated purveyor of white supremacist, anti-immigrant fantasies:

The Pitt is the most highly effective anti-MAGA thing in all media and it’s not even close:
