"Let's Grow Up Liberals"

Once Mr. Sanders’s defeat became inescapable, some of his most die-hard believers began to insist that a Trump presidency might even be preferable to having Mrs. Clinton in the White House.

“In a way she is more dangerous,” Susan Sarandon insisted in June, warning that under a President Clinton, “We’ll be in Iran in two seconds.”

But other Sanders diehards are quite prepared to “bring the jubilee” and accept a transformative, Trump victory.

“I’d rather see the empire burn under to the ground under Trump, opening up at least the possibility of radical change, than cruise on autopilot under Clinton,” the journalist Christopher Ketcham wrote in The Daily Beast, adding that “the left-contrarian, anti-Hillary, pro-Trump arsonist crowd is larger and wider spread than the cubicled creatures in the Clinton campaign have accounted for.” Mr. Ketcham urged Mr. Sanders to run on the Green Party ticket, and thereby toss the election to Donald Trump. This could, he conceded, “usher in the end of the democracy, the death of the republic, the rise of the hard totalitarian state.” But what the heck? After all, “we are already living in what Princeton political scientist Sheldon Wolin calls a soft or inverted totalitarian system.”

Eat your heart out, Bob LaFollette.
