DEMOCRATS REVIVE THE PARANOID STYLE IN AMERICAN POLITICS: If that title sounds vaguely familiar, you’ve probably been around for a lot of years. It’s from the title of a 1964 Harper’s Magazine feature by Columbia historian Richard Hofstader.

Democrats used it against Barry Goldwater then and have accused conservatives and Republicans of being paranoid about Blacks, Hispanics, change, The Other, Climate Change, The Future, and just about everything else in every election since LBJ buried Goldwater.

But check this out: Democrats on the opening day of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings put on a clinic for applying the paranoid style of politics. Yes, it’s not the first time they’ve done so, but boy is it obvious in the attacks on Kavanaugh.
