Also: the Trump presidency isn't even half over yet, and the maximum alarmists weren't nuts. ICE is operating as a death squad or is at least building up to it. Birthright citizenship nearly died in court. Mass corruption. Iran War. Haitian ethnic cleansing. Concentration camps. It's very bad!

This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.
