So, that Time Magazine piece shocked a lot of us in how openly it discussed how the deck was stacked against Trump in the election. But Doug Wilson has taken it a step further and identified why it was written:

"What happened in this last election was widespread enough, flagrant enough, and obvious enough that it cannot really be kept out of the hands of competent historians. At some point in the foreseeable future, a definitive and honest account really will be written, and this article is designed to have a “proper and approved” narrative lined up beforehand. “We have always acknowledged, and quite openly, that we did thus and such. Jeffrey T. Morehouse’s book is yesterday’s newspaper. Yawn.""
