A Civil Cold War Is Coming
The Bulwark frames institutional political competition through an alarmist, zero-sum lens ('Civil Cold War,' 'winner-take-EVERYTHING') that treats Democratic institutional interests as aligned with systemic stability. The piece centers elite political anxiety rather than exploring structural causes or offering data-driven analysis of redistricting's actual effects. Language choices ('war,' capitalized warnings) amplify conflict rhetoric typical of center-left establishment commentary concerned with preserving institutional norms.
