Coyne: Do not remain calm.

"The problem facing America, last, is not a lack of “unity.” It is that one of the parties has lost its mind. It has surrendered itself utterly to a con man and psychopath, who has turned it into a machine for dictatorship. It is not “turning up the heat” to point this out. It is turning on the lights."

It's a very good column re Vance, Thiel, Musk, Yarvin

But doesn't he continue to support Harper ([IDU), Scheer, and Poilievre?

@amgine He does not. That he is critical of the Liberal gov and liberals really don't like him for that does not mean he is automatically in the bag for the IDU, Harper, & Poilievre. Good lord.
I have many disagreements with Coyne's libertarian philosophy but who else anywhere in legacy media would write a column as hard-hitting as this?
It's a damn fine column.

@AlisonCreekside

Mr Coyne has, in the past, been a dyed-in-the-wool Harper cheerleader. And we have some history.

Imo that article is fundamentally flawed, once you consider for whom it is written. It's clickbait, but little substance.

If it were written to be read in the USA, particularly among the Libertarians, it would be daring, challenging. But not in G&M.
