I believe life begins at conception. If I lived in Florida, I would support the state’s heartbeat bill and vote against the referendum seeking to liberalize Florida’s abortion laws. I supported the Dobbs decision and I support well-drafted abortion restrictions at the state and federal levels. I was a pro-life lawyer who worked for pro-life legal organizations. While I want prospective parents to be able to use I.V.F. to build their families, I do not believe that unused embryos should simply be discarded — thrown away as no longer useful.

What a clown this one is. Who ever heard of David French?
French is lying about his abortion views.
French is part of the theatre of the absurd the demcommies play...
“Once again, David French comes to an utterly preposterous conclusion.”
Yes, but he still gets a large paycheck.
Liberals spend all their time talking about “saving” everything but they never save anything,
If they never keep any of their promises they can make the same promises election-after-election.
Saves time and effort that way.
The only way to get rid of Trump, by the way, is to elect him so that he's ineligible to serve another term. Otherwise, he'll be back, I'm sure of it.
David French is also involved in a program called “The After Party”, which is aimed at evangelical voters. Oops, he probably means Trump-worshippers. 🤣

Evangelicals who oppose Trump worship try to build a new movement

That’s a good encapsulation IMO, and the observation that the 3rd wave is more like the 1st wave seems true.
Most conservatives probably started as 1st wavers, then became 2nd wavers in the post-Cold War years just by sort of going with the flow, but then realized that that was a mistake after getting mugged by the reality that globalization was a disaster, and so reverted back to something like a modified 1st wave mindset.
Most conservatives are now Trump conservatives but might be called Neo-1st Wave conservatives if we use the article’s categories. The difference between 1st Wave and Neo 1st Wave is that Neo 1st Wave are painfully aware that we are now in a post-virtue America and have pragmatically adapted to that to some degree. And we have had our eyes opened to the bad effects of globalist warring and globalist trade through painful direct experience. We liked the idea of those things but now see that they were in error.
Essentially Trump conservatives are Reagan conservatives who have been battle hardened or perhaps shell shocked by what has happened to the country over the past 30 years. We have ditched our rose colored glasses in many ways and become grittier, hence Trump.
Those must be pretty good sized maggots munching on his brain
David French is a two-bit lying POS. Who uses his “faith” to justify killing babies and sexually mutilating children.
If Trump said, “It is a beautiful morning today!”, a fact checker would say, “It actually is flooding in Thailand and thus Trump is BOTH a liar and a racist!”
A crimson red died in the wool conservative is this David French dude. Only question is whether he is a fraud or a fool.
looks like David French didn't make the list:
Precisely. The only difference is that the NYT doesn’t get the joke.
Save America!
Vote President Trump!-)
There was a cadre here in the days of W who expressed similar positions. Better the Dems won, they said, than support non-conservative positions. The people will wake up when the country goes to heck and then they’ll support a Real Conservative(tm).
Two flaws:
- Leftists cheat, they’ve always cheated (see Poe, Edgar Allen, Tammany Hall, etc. ad nauseam), and when they get power they entrench corruption so that it stops mattering what the people want.
- Whatever you call it — zeitgeist, “Overton window,” or whatever, people get used to situations almost no matter how bad. We’ve very adaptable and survival-oriented, but the left uses that. From butt people to masks, give people a little time and they’ll treat whatever hell as the new normal and resist changing back.
For these reasons the only way to win is to win. We can fix elections when we win elections; we can affirm the 2A when we win elections; states can address social ills when we win elections. We do not win on any issue whatsoever by throwing the game with puffed chest and cordial firmly in hand.
Because French and his fellow-travellers ranging from 30 Pence to Bolton and many others are not stupid, I assume they know this and are therefore enemies of freedom.
