Opinion | Cheer Up, Liberals. You Have the America You Wanted. – The New York Times

On the other hand, maybe just maybe the sense of American decline and even doom hanging over certain liberals nowadays is a sign that their own vision, a society of ever-increasing social individualism under the protection of an expansive welfare state, actually leads to a somewhat darker future than they thought &

But no now I m straying from my official purpose here, which is to urge pessimistic liberals to cheer up.

You have the America you wanted. Make the most of it.
