In the Article What If The Republican Win Everything Again? posted by The New York Times, author David Leonhardt, the audience is given a hypothetical of the Republicans having a majority in Washington as a whole, and what that might look like for citizens.

The authors intended audience is Democrats because of his clear bias and emotional language towards the Republican party. This is clear because of his rash remarks like, "New laws that make it harder to vote. More tax cuts for the rich. More damage to the environment. A Republican Party molded even more in the image of President Trump." Leonhardt goes on to paint a picture of a world with less health insurance, less voting diversity due to restrictions, and a every increasing threat of climate change with no thoughts given by the Republicans. This is clearly skewed towards a Democratic audience.

The author is credible not only because he is employed by The New York Times but also because he won a Pulitzer prize for commentary on his columns in 2011. He also worked as an unbiased data analyzer. 

Leonhardt claims that if the Republicans with Washington, which isn't 100% likely but still possible, that that will allow Trump to become more confident and self-assured while also allowing the Republicans to move forward with plans such as cutting tax for the rich, disabling or even completely cutting health care (like Medicaid and Medicare), making voting standards more difficult, effectively making the voting population less diverse, and ignoring the climate change disaster. Leonhardt ends his article with a perfect summary, "In [A Republican] America, congenital liars and sexual harassers don’t get punished. They can become president. In that America, people with dark skin aren’t guaranteed the same rights as people with white skin, and a violently warming planet is less important than corporate profits."
