Except Rod Dreher is a never Trumper. He also bills himself as a devout Catholic, yet he adored Obama. That’s not a devout Catholic in my book. I’m pretty positive he voted for Hillary too, based on his track record. So I ignore him as much as possible, lol.
He also says he's not a never Trumper, though he's clearly not a Trump fan.
The guy is what he is. Life is too short to beat up on him - or even to finish reading some of his very long and convoluted articles.
Some intelligent people, some of whom are actually informed about things work thinking about, respect Dreher, I’m not sure why.
Prince of Space touches on some of Dreher’s virtues, without getting too much into his vices, still offers sound advice on how to deal with him. So long as the turd in the punchbowl is actually made of plastic imported from China, drink the punch if you must, but try to ignore the attention seeking “Crunchy Con.”
That said, I agree with the point that it is not Dreher’s thoughts but that of one of his misled admirers, so there is no need to associate Dreher’s name with the material.
