It seems that conservative outlets that not too long ago were sources for conservative views have been labeled as bastions of the GOPe. Not worthy of any deference nor any amount of consideration. Once any formerly well thought of conservative source takes Trump to task, it is labeled part of the vast GOPe conspiracy.
No one or group is spared. I have seen Limbaugh blasted, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and others derided for even a pittance of "anti-Trump" thought or comment.
Trumpism is fast becoming a cult, where the figurehead is nearly revered, seemingly deified.
What you quoted was accurate though.
Personally, that issue, and the split decision second-thought on Trumps' part is not my hill to die on, or one I'd insist that Trump should be crucified upon himself, although under that same hummock are so many bones, it is painful to contemplate.
