Paywall so I couldn’t read all of this but the premise seems sort unremarkable. Those who see it will find it so obvious as to not be worth reading about. Those who can’t see it won’t read this or hate read it and not connect the dots. “Progressive policies hurt those they intend to help.” Duh. It might as well be an article about Venezuela or the USSR. Same conversation; no true Scotsman, resistance and free speech is why the blue policies fail, etc… A tiresome discussion for both parties. When someone is in denial, trying to reason with them will accomplish nothing. A better conversation: why is communist China doing so well? Maybe the blue states could learn something from Xi.
