“I think the conservatives can’t fully face the truth because it’s too awful. It would mean saying that the Democratic Party is not just a political party, but a revolutionary and treasonous party. It would mean acknowledging that America is no longer a unitary constitutional republic, but a field on which a civil war is being fought out. Further, the conservatives fear that if they acknowledged these terrible realities, they would be placing themselves outside the bounds of respectable politics and making themselves look like extremists. For all these reasons, they go on calling Obama a feckless incompetent rather than a determined enemy.”
