From impeaching incitement to canceling conservatism

FREE SPEECH: January 15, 2021 It wasn’t just Donald Trump’s detractors who felt a sudden sense of relief when they heard that Twitter was blocking his feed after the storming of the Capitol and the disruption of the reading of the Electoral College results on Jan. 6. While President Trump’s exact words to the crowd on the Ellipse didn’t constitute a criminal incitement,...
Will Democrats ditch a policy that’s produced more equal outcomes?
Michael Barone 01/12/2021 - 3:47pm
ECONOMY: January 8, 2021 The policies of defeated one-term presidents are not as easily reversed as their victorious successors, suffused with campaign rhetoric, sometimes suppose they will be. Even when, as now, the winning party has majorities in both houses of Congress. THOSE MARGINS, after Democrats’ wins in the U.S. Senate races in...
The year America went crazy
Michael Barone 01/04/2021 - 4:33pm
RETROSPECTIVE: January 1, 2021 Did America go crazy in 2020? I suspect observers years hence will think so because of the responses, of both elite officials and ordinary Americans, to the COVID-19 pandemic starting last February and to the shocking video from Minneapolis police officers released over Memorial Day weekend. THE RESPONSE to COVID...

VOTERS: December 25, 2020 Like Sherlock Holmes’ dog that didn’t bark in the night, so goes in politics: Uncharacteristic behavior can turn out to be crucially significant -- uncharacteristic behavior in politics being defined as one demographic group unexpectedly trending one way when most of the electorate trends the other. SUCH...
Biden: Identity politics and no apologies
Michael Barone 12/18/2020 - 8:24pm
JOE BIDEN: December 18, 2020 Identity politics seems to be sticking around. Important election results seemed to refute the notion that Americans vote for their ethnic or racial identity. Hispanic voters trended significantly toward the supposedly anti-Hispanic Donald Trump, and Californians, while voting 63% for Joe Biden, rejected racial quotas...
The unbearable lightness of white college Democrats
Michael Barone 12/14/2020 - 7:02pm
DEMOCRATS: December 11, 2020 Eighty-five percent of counties with a Whole Foods store voted for Joe Biden. That factoid, relayed by The Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman, tells you something important about the election — and about today’s Democratic Party. “The Democracy,” as it was called in the 19th century...
