Mr. Douthat continues in his rhetorical mood of fabulism, that he expressed in his essay Call Me Vlad , with his latest entry titled Good Populism, Bad Populism. In sum Mr. D. presents the argument that the Republican Nihilists are not just ideological obstructionists but are, in fact, the future enactors  of ‘reform’ . Now, given that these same future oriented pols have just voted to de-fund the Heritage Foundation Health-Care aka Obama Care, how might a reader interpret the idea of ‘reform’ as expressed by Mr. D?
