Once upon a time, Jennifer Rubin was an intelligent woman. Things started to go downhill when she went to work for the Washington Post, but what really flipped the switch in her brain was seeing Donald Trump become president. Not only did she lose perspective, but she also lost intelligence, self-restraint, and decency. Her latest flight of NeverTrump nastiness has her speculate about possible Republican deaths during a time of coronavirus. Her speculation not only reveals an even further degradation of mind and soul, but she's got things entirely bass-ackwards wrong – and a couple of maps prove it.
Maybe the seeds of Rubin’s decay were always there, considering that she attended U.C. Berkeley both as an undergraduate and at law school. Her downslide might also have come from spending twenty years in Hollywood, working as a Labor and Employment lawyer in Hollywood.
Or perhaps the problem was when she moved with her family to Virginia and started writing for The Weekly Standard and Commentary magazine. Her work there was excellent during the Bush and Obama years when these magazines were conservative stalwarts. As you may recall, though, both magazines went all-in for NeverTrumpism, which eventually killed The Weekly Standard.
By the time The Weekly Standard died, though, Rubin had already moved on to the Washington Post, ostensibly as a “conservative” commentator. At that point, the years at Berkeley, in Hollywood, and at two cocktail-party-circuit “conservative” magazines had already started to catch up with her. By the time Donald Trump came along, the term “conservative” when attached to her name was a misnomer. As with Bill Kristol, her hatred for Trump caused a seismic shift in her political ideology. Rubin’s fanatic hatred for Trump is such that she'd rather embrace a hard-left platform

Jebbifer was always a propagandist for the Cheap Labor Express and Bush League Republicans.
She is still butt hurt that Yeb! did not get to be the Designated Loser for 2016.
If it weren't for Iowa City, it would not be hoppin' with the Wuhan Crud. Iowa City - home of the University of Iowa - is the Berkeley of Iowa, with a high population of foreigners and people who think traveling to see foreigners is cool and groovy. Want to see full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome? Go to Iowa City.
At least two of the first cases had been on an Egyptian cruise. Travel broadens a person.
Rubin was wrong... this is NOT a deplorable’s disease...

Democrat Party is essentially an urban party, where people are jammed cheek by jowl into the same places. It’s also a party that facilitates homelessness and enables filth and drug use; encourages reusable shopping bags that are disease vectors; and wants to pack people into densely-populated high rise buildings and public transportation. With that in mind, you’ll notice a similarity between the two maps below.

I still have nightmares about Helen Thomas, and she’s dead. Spare us the sight.
It’s the TDS-16 virus, afflicting mainly supposed conservatives who are all talk, and have become inured to their sorry place in the pecking order in Washington, sort of like a dog kept in a carrier box on the roof of a car, who’s come to like the view.
Holy Moly! I know this woman!
We were at Berkeley at the same time.
She was pretty clever, for a Liberal Arts major...
OTOH, I walk around most days wishing they’d all just burst into flames...
You musta gone to the biz school. The only people I know that partied out on Telegraph and University that were still sane later were business majors... a couple of the IT guys were ok too I guess.
Mechanical Engineering.
But I was known to venture to the South Side from time to time.
Took me 10 years to graduate. One step ahead of the Dean and my Academic Advisor the whole time.
Ahh, that explains it. The Engineering dudes were waaaaay too smart for me...
:-)
That’s cool in a weird kind of way...
