This article originally appeared on realclearpolitics.com Like many “Never-Trump” conservatives, I see the assault on democratic institutions and norms launched by the former president and his followers as a clear and present danger to our republic. But I also fear that many progressives pose an equal threat, albeit one that will destroy our system more subtly and over time. My worry is that my allies in the former fight are choosing to ignore or downplay the significance of the latter. In so doing, we may win the battles against election nullification now being waged by Republicans in statehouses but lose …

This article originally appeared on Townhall.com President Joe Biden has nominated some terribly polarizing candidates for crucial posts in his administration.
