It's not just that it's a piece against voting, it's a fake world-weary article about how civic disengagement is good from a guy with radical reactionary politics who spends his life doing advocacy (including publishing this op-ed in the New York Times)
Apparently the editors at the NYT are eager to be strung up on lampposts by the Proud Boys when Trump finally declares a killin' spree on the press. I am not sure what other future they're aiming for, they are AMONG THE FIRST to go under Project 2025, whether it's written there or not.
