On this Fourth of July, here are two pieces by conservatives whose messages badly need to be heard: "Abraham Lincoln's Warning," by Conor Friedersdorf "I left the Republican Party. Now I want Democrats to take over," by Max Boot May more Republicans join the fight to save our democracy, and the values of prudence and patriotism that they profess to hold dear. The initial discomfort of ripping off the shackles of tribalism—which in the past may have helped us feel anchored to our identities as part of a political party, but which now lead too many of us to act with unreason, to condone things we've spent our lives warning others about the risks of condoning—will be replaced with the more meaningful assurance that one is on the right side of history.
