He may well be right. Makes sense, and shows strategic thinking by Trump.
Here’s what I appreciate about Dershowitz- he has reasons for his ideas and is able to articulate them. He does not resemble the left of today in any way. He’s essentially homeless.
The new left emotes, reacts and distracts. Instead of reasoning and talking about ideas, they resort to the personal in brilliant use of Alinsky tactics.
Dershowitz tells you what he believes and why. I think most of his beliefs are incorrect, but I respect his old-school ways.
I used to have liberal friends like Dershowitz. We would debate and argue and have interesting conversations. I loved them, they loved me. Now? It’s a measure of how greatly we’ve changed as a country that none of us speak to one another. It began after 9-11.
It’s sad, isn’t it? I had a best friend. I love her just as much as ever. She fought for gun control. Probably still does. Environmentalist. We used to be able to discuss carefully our differences. We still agreed on art and children and entertainment and relationship stuff.
Then along came the election, and mid 2016 she simply dropped me as a friend. We haven’t spoken since. My heart is still broken. I’d take her back in a second. I knew her politics and loved her anyway. Apparently she could no longer tolerate mine. And she knows damn well I’m no homophobe or racist. She’s known me since we were kids, known my multi ethnic etc group of friends. Yet Trump was too much for her to stay friends with me.
