One thing this country needs, intellectually speaking, is a way for people & institutions to acknowledge that the GOP has become a radical threat to democracy *without* feeling like they thereby become Dem partisans.
FYI, I was not primarily referring to Rs. I'm referring to people & institutions that view themselves as nonpartisan referees -- journalism, the bar, science, etc. They need to avoid partisan allegiance but they also need to stand up to defend the basic principles of democracy.
The Dems-v-Rs frame has occluded everything else. We need to be able to see a different set of sides: those committed to truth, equality under law, & democratic participation vs. authoritarian ethnonationalists. That *overlaps* w/ the partisan fight but is not the same thing.
