Indeed, many of the sympathetic think pieces devoted to understanding the “Maga” vote are animated by the liberal virtues of charity, humility and open-mindedness, which rightly guide our approach to political conflict in times of democratic stability. The problem is that the virtuous restraint with which liberalism treats political opponents becomes a unique source of weakness and confusion when faced with a genuine (and popular) authoritarian opponent. By doubling down on what they think politics should feel like—tolerant, inclusive, self-critical—they risk betraying their core principles.

Don’t empathise with Trump supporters. Condemn them
