Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.
Imagine somebody following this guy's example unless it's how to get free food in a chain restaurant by whinging really loudly (or maybe how to look like a disgraced youth pastor from 1982 who's now on a registry)
He looks like a somewhat fallen on hard times British aristocrat from the 1930s who goes to dinner parties and talks about how maybe Herr Hitler is a bit extreme, but he certainly knows how to keep the reds in line.
