THE ANATOMY OF TRUMPOPHOBIA
Why NeverTrumpers should reflect on what makes Trump attractive to voters.
This is what the NeverTrumpers don’t get: their harsh criticisms of Trump necessarily extend to his fans, who either are flawed in the same ways as he, or too ignorant and unsophisticated––or, as Romney put it, they can be played for “suckers” –– to see through his populist and jingoistic pandering. Either way, they are inferior to the NeverTrump sophisticates who’d rather lose election after election than win and get the job done of rolling back a decade of progressive misrule.
