Good thoughts. Perfection eludes all of us, and even Trump’s supporters understand that he most probably won’t be able to accomplish all that he envisions. But the alternative is forcing us to choose sides, and there it is. What has been fueling the fights here on FR is that given the now-recognized inevitability of this choice, those who supported Trump on FR because they had the instincts to see who could best win the nomination and the general have resented being called immoral (not by you, FRiend). I think Prager’s examples above of persons making seemingly immoral choices in a “lesser evil” situation have answered those charges.
Yes, a lot of people have called others a lot of names and made sweeping judgments of a sort that surprised me, even after all these years. I’m much more of a, “I disagree with (point) because (reason),” person.
I agree with Prager on his main points. However, I also agree with Jonah Goldberg that the idea that his (Jonah’s) non-vote will decide the election is simply magical thinking.
