@roland "Anti-alarmists" is rather generous labeling for some folks I'd call "collaborators" or just "nazis".

  The anti-alarmists e.g. Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Bret Stephens, Corey Robin, Jon Stewart, David Brooks, William Watson, John Harris, Simon Jenkins, Zachary Karabell, Josh Barro, and Noah Feldman — scolded & derided the Cassandras. Going forward, we should be skeptical of giving them & others like them our attention when they pooh pooh people fighting against obvious racism, fascism, and kleptocracy etc etc yup <-- read the whole thing https://newrepublic.com/article/204254/survey-2024-election-cassandras-trump-2025

    Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?
