What’s the GOP up to? Well, it’s settling on a new strategy. That strategy has three parts, and they go like this. One, attack vulnerable groups, who are perfectly innocent, peaceful people — and turn them into scary, outsized, outlandishly dangerous monsters, who are an existential threat to “real” Americans. Two, whip its base into a frenzy with these manufactured moral panics and riptides. Three, use that to create the illusion of political movement, of turning a broken country around. Four, and this is a bonus point, use the Supreme Court to legitimize all the above.
