@nytopinion: It’s America’s 250th birthday, but @nytopinion columnist Ross Douthat isn’t expecting any sort of unifying address from our political leaders. So he wrote one himself. #interestingtimeswithrossdouthat #nytopinion

Reconciliation with the past isn’t finished. The future you seek cannot “begin again” without it.

Chris. I have questions :
This speech is what I imagine the band sounded like on the Titanic. Old instruments playing a sweet distraction from a sinking reality, instead of a clear call to action. Very on brand NYT and Ross. Very on brand. Happy Fourth all!

I appreciate this message. Ross and myself may not see eye to eye on some things but this is a solid take.

Fantastic. Every generation has had legitimate reasons to think the sky was falling. And every generation has had people willing to put in the work to make things better. I choose sleeve-rolling over sky-crying.

"Seeking Greenland in a fair exchange" - talking about human rights like a transaction. Horrific

Centrist nonsense. Ross is constantly trying to tone down and apologize for right wing terror. Americans SHOULD be deeply concerned about insane wealth inequality. None of this matters if an emerging oligarchy strangles democracy

“Seeking Ukraine in a fair exchange is as Russian as the great state of Georgia” -see how that sounds?
