Politics and politicians are ephemeral; principles are timeless. Trump hijacked the GOP—aided and abetted by spineless accomplices in the GOP and right wing infotainment looking for the political Flavor Du Jour to boost clicks/ratings, not caring if it was good for the country. x.com/CountryFirstRe…

The new right lacks a conservative sensibility. It doesn’t conserve but chases change. Employing the rhetoric of the Jacobin, it overthrows establishments and smites elites. It’s not a revolution to restore anything but to create something new that has never existed in America.

A lot of GOP congress critters will see this and do what Trump wants them to do: cower/remain silent. But my sense is that, over time, the #MAGA coalition will continue to fragment, and Trump's power will diminish as more speak out and chart their post-Trump future.

Thanks to President Trump no longer hitting you in the nuts with a cricket bat, your nuts should hurt less. You're welcome, America.

In recent weeks, there has been something like a conservative awakening to the horror show that the American Right, to a considerable degree, has become. My better nature says, "Good." The worse one says, "Now? Now?"

Reminder: Epstein victims were NOT "barely legal." "Barely legal" would be 18 years old. 17 is illegal. 16 is illegal. 15 is illegal. 14 is illegal. They weren't "underage women" or "young women" at those ages. They were girls. Children cannot consent to sex and it was rape.

The people who hate David French *are not conservatives.* They are right-populists, Trump sycophants, and former conservatives with guilty consciences who resent feeling rebuked by French's earnest moralism.

Yes, Saudi Arabia is important to U.S. national security interests. Yes, MBS had a critic of his murdered and dismembered, and it is appropriate to make him squirm. Yes, Trump often confuses and conflates what's good for him with what's good for the country.
