This is just more Triumphalism.
It's been the Assumption on the thinking Right(sic) that "Liberalism is Dead", for some time.
USSR collapses="Liberalism id dead"
Reagan wins an election="Liberalism id Dead"
On and on.
Few of them can define "Liberalism"...they just want to declare Victory....and stop trying to defend their indefensible pseudophilosophy.
Douthat says interesting things every once in a great while.
He's just playing an "Intellectual", here.
