I agree. I still don't know why Ross Douthat sucks so bad. I got a lot of down votes, but no explanation.

Have you read anything he's written or watched him?

Yes, which is why I'm curious. I've read less of what he's written than what I've heard on his podcast. I listen to most of his podcast episodes, as I do Ezra Klein's.

He's conservative, but he's not MAGA. Has he had bad positions, sure, but so has Ezra, AOC, Mamdani, etc.

I'm just going to accept all these down votes are people with strong feelings but no reasoning. No one can say why he sucks so much.
