Draper declared that America was abandoning its role as guarantor of international security and embracing same-sex marriage and pot. No longer would the electorate be limited to Republicans and Democrats, he said. Politics has become more like pastry. “If we can have 20 different types of Pop-Tarts,” Draper quoted one libertarian as saying, “maybe we can have more than two types of political identification.”
