In the contest of “who will be the 80s TNR/90s-00s Slate of the Trump era?” – i.e. the “with it enough to be liberal but white men enough to not be ridiculous” brand – I didn’t expect New York Magazine, but maybe I should’ve.

They were already running Chait about the illiberal campus left, now they’ve got Jesse Singal (pinned tweet: “Hey so I’m writing a book for Farrar, Straus & Giroux about social psychology, social justice, and the replication crisis. Fun!”) pushing back on trans ideologies, and I mean bringing back Andrew Sullivan on “yeah, but non-blacks can pull civilization off soooo…” is a little on the nose

It’s an open niche! They should try to poach Kevin Drum from Mother Jones next, doubt that guy respects the Clara Jeffery line much
