Alienated America by Timothy P. Carney FTP: Carney Makes Ross Douthat Look Foolish

The more I read through the books I picked for American Decline, the more I noticed more gripes with Ross Douthat’s The Decadent Society. I felt his “punch right” was cynical and tone-deaf. He makes non-elite Conservatives out to be meme lords and racists. Which explains nothing of Conservatism’s complaints but everything of Douthat’s fealty to the New York Times.
