If you are a swamp creature and can jump back and forth from party to party, that doubles the chances that you will eventually end up back in the good graces of those in power.
And if it doesn't exactly work for you, it works for those like you. So in one guise or another, Never Trumpers will be back.
Actually according to Yuri Bezmenov the first stage is demoralization. The second stage is destabilization. Third stage is crisis, and the fourth is normalization.
For a couple decades the Democrat Party has embraced the highly radioactive fringe groups so it has been inevitable it would finally go supercritical. I have been watching the logarithmic increase in their craziness and now they are about to blow.
Look back to the original fall of Lebanon. The Muslim hardliners didn't just kill Christians, they killed non-devout Muslims as well.
The Islamists were always going to kill whoever abandoned Jihad after we left. The only way to have countered that would have been to tightly control the Iraqi boarder, scrutinize them like hawks, and clamp down on practitioners of Sharia for a couple generations while the whole world lambasted the United States as murderous tyrants.
Flood them with entertainments and diversions while raising their employment rewards to middle class and you could have something lasting.
The men in my infantry battalion didn't think we had the stones to do what was needed during the ‘83 war. The men in the TOW company I was with didn't think we had the stomach for that during the ‘90 to ‘91 war either.
The whole stupid occupation was a construct of the State Department, and I don't believe that even they ever honestly thought that those who worked with us would not begin to be killed as soon as we left. And I think that the backlash was even part of their plan.
The hubris of the elite made them attempt to create the One World order that they would control. Their hubris did not allow them the fact that the masses they wanted to drive into their submission were still a bit too smart and in the US we still have our Second Amendment.
If things still progress downhill then, in America, those elite will have a hard time eating well, and I, along with a few million others, will ensure they don't.
Glad to see Pat is still putting them out - Great Essay !!!
I agree. God bless our President.
We’re coming to take them awaaaaaaaaaaaay
Ha ha
Ho ho
Hee hee
The world was ablaze with tribalism and was raising up authoritarians to realize nationalist ends -- Xi Jinping, Putin, Narendra Modi in India, Erdogan in Turkey, Gen. el-Sissi in Egypt -- before [Trump] came down that [escalator].
And so the elites who were in charge when the fire broke out, and who failed to respond and refused even to recognize it, and who now denounce Trump for how he is coping with it, are unlikely to be called upon again to lead this republic.

Most Republicans - except of course for GOPe idiots - realize that replacing one Islamic regime with another Islamic regime is a bad idea because you wind up with an Islamic regime.
He can be right about a lot of things and still be wrong about a few things.
McCain sees a back and immediately reaches for a knife.
That's the kind of delusion I would expect to hear from an Ivy League jackass working for a "neo-conservative" think tank ... who probably never spend a minute in any Middle East sh!t-hole before he became a cheerleader for a military invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Japan was a homogenized nation for a long time before they were defeated in World War II. Iraq was a dysfunctional dump that only existed as a nation because it was led by a ruthless dictator who never hesitated to suppress the various factions in the country who had no interest in being part of a fictional country called "Iraq."
Close the border except to beautiful women who wish to live here.
What does God define as a nation?
“Where some people got the looney idea that Buchanan is anti-Semite or stupid stuff like that is beyond me.”
Because he puts American interests ahead of every other nation on earth. As is proper for American patriots.
Agree 100 percent
“He can be right about a lot of things and still be wrong about a few things.”
Yep. The only person I know who is right all the time is me, and then only most of the time.
Best,

The one thing that will not be accepted is anti-Semitism!
“I’m fine with it.”
I’m quite sure you are.

80% of the time, I’m right all the time. (Paraphrase from “Anchorman”)
