As far as I can see, FR has already scooted leftward. When loyalty to a person outweighs loyalty to principles, we’re already mired in emotion-driven politics. Only-Trumpers refuse the reality that there’s no such thing as “turns” in politics. If you’re not kow-towing to Trump, you must hate him with a purple passion. There are only extremes in an only-Trumper’s mind, and that’s all too close to how leftists and cultists think.

Excellent analysis. I'm hardly a "neverTrumper" as I've voted for him three times, and will again if the choice is him vs Biden or Obama. I just don't like the blind allegiance that so many are demanding, especially when the primary is still going on, and a more conservative option still exists. If we want conservatism to survive, we should support it. Or at least allow it to exist LOL.

FR hasn't moved leftward. These are paid shills advocating that.

I would think anyone with “ principles” would be fighting against the very first illegal wire tape, Russia Russia Russia fantasy, unfounded impeachments, indictments, the never ending unjust law fare, the J6 prisoners and most of all a stolen election…..
That would appear to be a principled person. A person with principles rather than an opinion.

“There are only extremes in an only-Trumper’s mind, and that’s all too close to how leftists and cultists think.”

Wow. Harsh.

Didn’t the RNC stooges try the “Trump voters are brainless zombie cultists” line before?

I don’t remember that working out too well.

I’m not sure that Conservatism Inc., the loyal lickspittles of the GOP donor class, will have any better luck convincing Trump voters that they are idiots this time.

But who knows... maybe you’ll get your wish and there will be a giant groundswell of support for Nimarata Haley or one of the other approved puppets of D.C. Establishment. Good luck!
