OUR FAILING ESTABLISHMENT: “Liz Cheney couldn’t have picked a worse day to release her new anti-Trump memoir. Just hours after Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning hit bookshelves on Dec. 5, the presidents of three elite universities rife with anti-Semitic activism in recent months humiliated themselves on national television by bungling a simple question about whether it’s acceptable to call for Jewish genocide on campus. One of the presidents, Liz Magill of Penn, resigned in disgrace. The fallout is ongoing.”

Plus: “Like the other (seemingly countless) #Resistance memoirists, Cheney declines to consider that Trump and the support he continues to enjoy from millions of Americans is a symptom of some larger societal affliction, rather than the actual disease. At no point does she contemplate the implications of her deliberately alarmist rhetoric. For example: If America “cannot survive” another Trump presidency, as she and many others have warned, what sorts of actions might be justified to stop it from happening? Obstructing an official proceeding, at the very least, if it means saving the country? If not, then what?”
