I read the entire article and just don’t get the people here who praise this banal piece. VDH is the same sort of confused, numb-nutted, jerkified, over-educated, intellectualoid anti-Trmp idjit as every other writer at NRO. And damn near every other media outlet of the left and right to boot! Can’t any of you people who praise this piece read the snark, sarcasm, and total disdain this prig has for you, the average, everyday, working stiff chump that hates everything about the elitist snobs who have had this country by the short hairs for generations and who have screwed and your children out of any sort of positive future? It doesn’t seem so!
He's ambivalent. It's a thing.
ambivalence noun am·biv·a·lence \am-ˈbi-və-lən(t)s\
1 : simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action
He's not going to endorse every single thing Donald Trump has ever said and done or every possible motivation that might make someone vote for Trump. He does have some elite spirit that makes him hold back.
But he does understand Trump's appeal and the way he describes it isn't just snarky or sarcastic. It suggests that he feels some of it himself -- at least to some degree.
In a touchingly simplistic world there's the elite and there's the down-trodden and never the twain shall meet. In the real world most people are a little bit of both. Slobs in comparison to somebody. Snobs in comparison to somebody else. Ambivalence.
Not quite...he lives on a farm property in the CA central valley that has been in his family for several generations and sees first hand the effect of the stupid CA water restrictions and the influx of the illegals.
Does anyone know what caused the death of his daughter last year.....?
