A major influence on McWilliams's thought was the book "Democracy in America" by the French theorist Alexis de Tocqueville, and like Tocqueville, McWilliams commended to modern liberal democracy the arts of association and a chastening form of religious faith. McWilliams was also a prolific essayist, whose works appeared in "Commonweal" and other journals. His essays on American elections from 1976-1998 were collected in two volumes, "The Politics of Disappointment" (1995

He argued that this tradition drew philosophical inspiration from ancient Greek and Christian sources manifested in an emphasis upon community and fraternity, which was properly the means to achieving a form of civic liberty. He contrasted this tradition with the liberal tradition,

McWilliams was a sharp critic of Warren, whom he described as "the personification of Smart Reaction," but he became an enthusiastic admirer after Warren joined the US Supreme Court the following decade. No such conversion occurred in his attitude toward another California politician, Richard Nixon, whom McWilliams described in 1950 as "a dapper little man with an astonishing capacity for petty malice."
