What’s the theme that ties together Andrew Cuomo, the Lincoln Project, and California’s governing class? Since 2015 or so, a whole bunch of people who hated Donald Trump — and I am among those who believe the former president earned his animosity and scorn — chose to believe that anyone who stood in opposition to Trump had to be one of the good guys. A huge swath of the media world, elites across American society, and donors large and small, conflated political agreement in opposition to Trump with all other positive virtues. Outspoken opposition to Trump turned into an all-purpose badge of righteousness that many believed would outweigh or outshine any other issues or character flaws.
When a society adopts this kind of mentality, bad people recognize this. They pick up on the fact that certain views or opinions or labels can be used as moral get-out-of-jail-free cards. Why do you think so many self-identified feminist men keep turning out to be creeps when alone with a woman? Why do you think some billionaires describe themselves as socialist? Why do you think self-professed environmentalists keep taking private jets to climate-change conferences? Society has taught them that their viewpoint outweighs their actual behavior, actions, and in some cases, and how they treat other people.

Like the prostitutes they were,they are left discarded and dirty by endless abusers, their 30 seconds of purpose is over. Defunded to move on to the radical climate change and gun grabber agendas and being replaced by imports.
What do Cuomo, the Lincoln project and California’s ruling class of elites really have in common? They are decadent and rotten at their core. Their hatred for Trump is merely a manifestation of their inherent pathology. When their true nature is recognized, then their vile actions are understandable and predictable.
Geraghty wants to stay on the NRO World Order payroll.
Used to like him back in the day but he may like others not get it. Without a bombastic President Trump calling out the BS and fighting every step of the way, nothing good happens starting with taking down Hillary.
How a political writer can fail to be educated with the exposure of the corrupt class by President Trump is more than a bit pathetic.
The entire political class was exposed by President Trump and shown to not only be corrupt but incompetent.
They hate him for it.
“and I am among those who believe the former president earned his animosity and scorn”
National Review is garbage.
It’s apparent to me that Donald Trump was the center of the universe to the MSM. There blind hatred prevented them from seeing President Trump as the greatest president this country has ever had.
Not much need to read the rest, no matter what he says.
Too little, too late, Geraghty. The NRO is simply another of the “Hate Trump above all else” Marxist enablers. You and your Fake News rag are just as responsible for this mess as CNN, or anyone else, is.
Yeah—Suck it, Geraghty.
It doesn’t matter anymore. They have secured the infrastructure to keep their power for generations.
Their icons won’t be considered to have really “collapsed” until they are out of office, living under the same laws and edicts that we do, and hooted with derision for their hypocrisy. Any law-breakers among them need to face a trial at the least.
Hopefully and with God’s help,Traitor Joe will happen ASAP.
Since they face no legal consequences, these icons will simply be replaced. Thanks Barr, thanks Sessions.
The next thing you know, somebody will be writing an article declaring Bruce Springsteen and Jeep as “uniters of America”.
And why do so many writers who claim to be conservative like this jerk not recognize the good that President Trump did? Why do they join in the false scorn which is the attempt to destroy the policies and America by blaming the personality that brought Americanism back?
Screw you, Geraghty.

Amen
Liberal media self-destruction in addition to high profile Dem's implosion would be GREAT! It's funnier when it is so blatant that it can not be hidden from view.
The NR sucks. WFB must be spinning in its grave over what’s happened to his publication.
Ditto Sir! Even though I knew better, I started to read the article...then he wrote the sentence you referred to and I cursed myself for being damn stupid. What did I expect?
