David Faris--Anticipatory Obedience

With just a few days before the election, David Faris considers the possibility of American democracy turning into a dystopian horror show. Already you can see the billionaires making the same calculations. Like Jeff Bezos, trying to win over Trump by ordering the Post not to endorse Kamala. And then making up some gobbledygook justification. Call it anticipatory obedience. David also considers the other option, so not all is bleak. David is a political science professor at Roosevelt University and a columnist for Slate and Newsweek. His views are his own.
