Well, comparing me to Michael Anton is probably the worst thing anyone here has ever said to me.

Sorry - I meant only in the sense of characterizing campaigns in almost eschatological terms. Not in terms of worldview or anything else.

Regardless of whether Democrats view the campaign that way - regardless even of whether they're right to view it that way - that's going to be a very unhelpful frame if you're trying to understand why mainstream, normie Republicans are all going to vote for Donald Trump despite his many flaws. They'll vote for him not because they like those flaws. They'll do it because they think that it's much, much worse for the country to have a Democratic president than a Republican one. Any Republican one.
