National Review’s Kevin Williamson believes Donald Trump’s appeals to the white working class is “immoral” because that demographic’s way of life deserves to die out.
In a featured article for the prestigious conservative journal entitled “The Father-Fuhrer,” Williamson seeks to rebut criticism that he and other conservatives don’t articulate any policies that would appeal to Trump’s blue collar supporters.
Williamson, a long-time critic of The Donald, essentially agrees that he doesn’t support any policies or rhetoric directly tailored to the working-class — particularly about jobs being taken by outsourcing and immigration — because it would be wrong to do so.
“It is immoral because it perpetuates a lie: that the white working class that finds itself attracted to Trump has been victimized by outside forces,” the NR roving correspondent writes. “[N]obody did this to them. They failed themselves.”
He then goes on to state that all the ills associated with downscale whites are a result of that class’s inherent depravity.

But your plumber and the electrician were probably American.
They Endorse Ted. Does he share this view or will he denounce it? Read this entire article. Williamson’s article embodies the establishment attitude toward the working classes. I can’t count the number of times that I have heard economists and so called titans of industry refer American middle class prosperity as an accident of history that can’t be purged quickly enough.
All the Cruz, Rubio and Kasich fans here should seriously consider whether their masters have your welfare at heart or whether they despise with a white hot hate like Kevin Williamson’s. If you are not a part of the establishment (overlord or lackey) rest assured that you are despised.
Yeah the Cheap Labor Express is an evil lot. The new slavers.
Who’s going to do the work??? Oh ... right... illegals. Are these clowns so insulated from doing any work at at they think elves do the cobbling?
Anyway my ‘replicator .’ Is off line and I’m going to have to buy some of the items I need like food, electronics and transportation from the folks who make, sell and service the products I so regularly consume.
It’s not even that they aren’t useful. A lot of these guys are electrical engineers and the like who hit middle age as contractual employees. I know a guy who could be downright dangerous if he didn’t love his country.
Marxists hate the middle class too.
Until you get re-trained, and then you will be replaced or never hired because of an H1B visa holder.
NR is no longer conservative. As to concerns about jobs, it is not limited to white working class. It impacts all races and economic levels, except the top 5%.
Would that be the “inherent depravity” of the urban bourgeoisie? Am I reading a Trotsky pamphlet?
He’s the same one who called for Mrs. Trump to be deported.
They just went full Romney. Never go full Romney. (47%)
You have failed to notice it is a Third World conquest that is ongoing. Our elites indifferent to the nation and its people have actually assisted the invaders.
National Review’s Kevin Williamson, may have just written, his own Obituary.
If this what conservatism represents, then I’m not part of it.
The working class, the blue collars are the backbone of this country.
If they “wither and die” we no longer have a country.
Not one with a future for our children.
Trump understands that far better than all the rest and no wonder NR has lost its collective marbles.
Attacking hard-working American isn’t going to make them love Washington.
They are.
These people are really outing themselves as having delusions of being a self-crowned aristocracy.
They are fighting fiercely to preserve their aristocratic perquisites.
The content doesn’t surprise me but the honesty does.

I had a choice between saving a few bucks with a gang of Mexican roofers, or giving the job to Americans.
I hired my neighbors, the Americans—not the criminals here illegally who couldn’t get one of the jobs sent down there, so they came up here to steal Americans’ jobs.
The National Review writer sounds like Christian Bales in `American Psycopath’ just before beating a homeless guy to death, “You smell bad. Why don’t you get a job?”
