From Pulling Our Politics Back from the Brink:
The goal of American politics should not be “a world where everybody agrees with you,” [Danielle] Allen, [a Harvard politician scientist] said. “That will never be the reward of life in a constitutional democracy.

In January, I tried to track Trump’s executive actions, but a handy website beat me to it. But with a new authoritarian at the helm, banal summaries don’t cut it. So now I’ve set up a ChatGPT task to do the heavy lifting: provide a brief analysis of each week’s presidential orders from a radical left perspective. No blind trust, no propaganda—just a bullshit detector for the modern age.
