Sorry #NeverTrumpers But You Don’t Get To Dismount Your High Horse Today

The Last Refuge - The Conservative Treehouse ^ | FEBRUARY 1, 2017 | SUNDANCE

[onyx]

Sorry #NeverTrumpers, but you don”t get to dismount your high horse and celebrate the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch today. This is NOT your victory, this is ours!

There is a gobsmacking level of pontificating self-righteousness visible from the collective proletariat within your crony-conservative movement who made the decision to formulate their political argument from a position of opposition.

Perhaps it would be different if you framed your antagonism from a position of advocacy, but that wasn’t the direction you chose. No, you chose a specific position of opposition as clearly evident within your chosen mantra “Never Trump”.

Perhaps it would be different if you ever had a come-to-Jesus moment and apologized immediately following the November election. Then again, when your opinion of your own self-importance is this high, those humble words are just as foreign as your understanding of the movement that won.

You don’t get to frame the entire construct of your argument around opposition to a team, and then claim benefit to the outcome of victory. Stay on your high-horse, move along and ride off into that proverbial land of irrelevance; you’re dead here.

Save your dismount for another defining “conservative” assembly where you can gather at CPAC again and give a standing ovation to House Speaker Paul Ryan a month after he eliminates the debt ceiling and passes a $2 trillion OmniBus spending bill, funding all of the progressive priorities you hypocritically claim to oppose; you’re good at that.

That particular circle of crazy just doesn’t sell here any longer.

Save up your fiscal hypocrisy, you’ll need it. Because in less than two months our victorious bastard will deliver a budget that cuts a trillion “per year” out of the federal coffers…. and there is no doubt the beneficiary of your prior applause will be counting on your fiscally conservative sensibilities to protest for more spending on his behalf.

Oh, and keep your newest VAT tax construct. We’ll bring the sledgehammer, save your gilded and monogrammed tweezers for a swamp audience stupid enough to believe it – Thank you.

Oh, and don’t go getting all pearl-clutchy. This isn’t anger directed toward you, this is far, far worse. This is a very targeted and deliberate Cold Anger surrounding you and the swamp creatures of your affiliation. This sensibility never forgets.

You had a choice. You chose a direction, you lost; and you damn near lost the entire friggin’ country. Just because the team you ridiculed and attacked has overcome all opposition and gained victory, that doesn’t mean you get to backtrack now and expect the bruised and bloodied recipients to forget those who launched the stones and arrows.

Save your wine-spritzers and crust-less triangle sandwiches. We didn’t have well financed high-horses, we launched boots, well-worn boots, scratched, clawed and advanced despite your hoighty-toighty principles, intransigence and unwillingness to cuss or get your hands dirty.

Good grief, your insufferable sensibilities were frightened of frog memes, FROG MEMES!

It was our deplorable and calloused hands that volunteered, opened our piggy banks, and held firm to support each other and our vulgarian candidate against all opposition. You were part of that opposition.

While we were getting bloodied in Chicago, Virginia and California your ilk were worried about our tone and political sensibilities. But worse than that, much much worse than that, you #NeverTrumpers broke the cardinal rule of grassroots camaraderie, you aided the other side.

While our candidate was wearing a friggin’ bullet-proof-vest to deliver Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, you took every opportunity to broadcast your litmus-test purist antagonism in every outlet you could muster.

Your arrogant self-righteous efforts not only didn’t help, but they actually opposed our common sense objective. You were as much a benefit to Hillary Clinton and Mitch McConnell as Media Matters and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, perhaps even more. Lest you need a reminder:

VIDEO!
GROUP OF CONSERVATIVES UNITE TO STOP TRUMP / THE KELLY FILE

No, today you don’t get to rejoice in victory – it isn’t yours. You are worse than the enemy. At least a righteous enemy claims opposition from outside the wire, wears identifiable uniforms and looks you in the eye. Your choice of opposition was to lay toxic land mines inside our own territory, obstruct us at every engagement, and sit back gleefully predicting our defeat.

This victory today is ours. The victory belongs to all the Donald Trump supporters who absorbed your constant ridicule as fuel. The team who battled through the ridicule of the media and the ridicule of the elitist class, and stood in cold Virgina fields at 2am because we knew we needed to keep moving forward despite your efforts.

You #NeverTrump crony-constitutional purists were then, and are now, just as much a part of the problem as before – there is no place for you here, we’re deplorable. Put on your pussy hats and just go join the other side. We didn’t get your support in 2016 and we won’t need it in 2020.

Shut up. Be thankful, quietly.

We’ve got this, and much more yet to come…

Happy Birthday Andrew !

You said a ‘small’ but vocal, obnoxious group, etc.

If you thought it ‘small’, why did you not see the real details, to see the growing movement into millions and tens of millions, the massive rallies?

Why did you not see supporters gather from every walk of life, from every religious persuasion, from every ethic background, from every economic stratum of society?

Why did you not set time aside to research the real Donald J. Trump as did I, to discover how patriotic and sincere he truly is?

I could go on and on, and it’s not just you. And it’s still ongoing.

One problem is, and you should take note, is that certain persons allow themselves to be DISTRACTED.

The Left knows well how to DISTRACT.

The Left knows how to broadcast and brand through relentless repeating cycles OBJECTS OF DISTRACTION.

The Left preys on people that are DISTRACTABLE.

The Left will stage or cover a ‘small’ group of obnoxious persons to brand them as representative of a wider group.

The Left will find a hair in a soup and sometimes put it there to declare a boiling kettle as unfit for consumption.

There is much to learn.

You are ‘almost’ a DISTRACTABLE! But you had the good sense to finally see what so many others saw more than a year ago. Welcome to the family! But in the future try to counsel those you find are easily DISTRACTED because now you know.

I saw the real Donald Trump as a candidate in early August 2015 after setting aside time to do research on him. And I expected to find all manner of no-good dirt on him because I had allowed myself to be DISTRACTED. And then, astonishment gripped me as I found that he was every bit as strong and passionate about America as any of the nation’s founding fathers. It’s true. And from that point on, no amount of ‘small’ distraction would move me away from what I had found independently, confirmed with solid, hard, literally concrete facts.

I am sorry that Andrew is not here to savor the victory. He would be proud!

[Reddy]

Fantastic read. All the never trumpers celebrating Girsuch are jumping on the bandwagon a little late.

To remember that they almost gave us the beast makes my blood boil.

VERY NICELY stated Hostage, I am as happy today as I was on Nov. 9th, it feels so GOOD to have been right about this man, through his warts and all it was ACTUALLY us WE THE PEOPLE that STOOD STRONG not backing down under ANY circumstances he was a FIGHTER so WE FOUGHT WITH HIM!!! WE WERE RIGHT it is a GLORIOUS DAY!!!!

[Hostage]

Might start with a list of names that can be added to, and a letter demanding surrender with a time limit attached of say January 20, 2018.

Terms of surrender can be drafted from Freeper input.

Those that refuse to accept terms of surrender can join David Brock for some Pâté De Foie Gras dished out at some local Beltway belching fake french restaurant to discuss the vicissitudes brought on by the internet crazies.

Of course after a year or two of that, they might find it more fruitful to move on to a real job like parking cars at the Trump International Hotel ....Oh No! Perish the thought! I would never feel safe taking my car back! Sorry Parking Valets! I take that back, I would not wish that on you!

What can they do? If this were Japan, they would be given a mop and told to get busy.

His supporters, who attack on a personal level, anyone who they view to be less than 100% aligned with Trump, do more to push away those who might be inclined to support Trump otherwise - just as the nutjobs of the left are pushing many who were skeptical of Trump to support him.

I know many conservatives who opposed Trump, who are now coming around. We ought to encourage that, not discourage it.

[taxcontrol]

Nice to see that Trump abandoned his original position of liking judges like his sister and is nominating strict originality like Cruz said should be done.

[DoughtyOne]

In response to your idiotic post I'll simply say...

Frankly, I’d rather get my political conscience instruction from some that actually works for a living - not behind a damn keyboard or in front of some DC/NY TV camera running their mouth.

[LaybackLenny]

The most AWESOME rant EVER in the history of rants!

[DoughtyOne]

That was a joke. And thus so is your post.

Nice to see that Trump abandoned his original position of liking judges like his sister and is nominating strict originality like Cruz said should be done.

And now here you are hawking the idea that Trump dropped his idea and went with Cruz's sage advice.

You Cruz folks are absolute fools. Of course you're following an absolute fool, so why not.

[sport]

I do not know any that opposed Trump that are coming around. I do know that they preferred Hillary Clinton being in the White House. And still do. “Those convinced against their will, remain unconvinced still.”[author unknown] I have heard Donald extend his hand to them many times. Each time, they either spit on his hand or in his face. And the one that fits them to a tee is: A leopard cannot change its spots.

Somebody once said Sundance couldn’t write. He sure fooled me; that is powerful stuff.

Save up your fiscal hypocrisy, you’ll need it. Because in less than two months our victorious bastard will deliver a budget that cuts a trillion “per year” out of the federal coffers…

LOL!!

[9YearLurker]

Never Trumpers—who all had no trouble backing John McCain for president somehow couldn’t bring themselves to support Donald Trump.

[McBuff]

Fantastic rant. Are you listening Mark Levin?

[DoughtyOne]

When you opposed Trump, you were not an 80 percenter.

You were 100% against him. You were 100% against his policies, the very policies he is implementing now.

And you think folks who opposed you in that stand stridently, were the problem. Good freakin grief.

You changed at the last moment. Great. You were not a public figure who refused to champion Trump in front of millions, so you get a pass.

The person that did, doesn’t.

[samtheman]

As someone who supported Trump from the day he announced back in 2015, and as someone who was a very strong supporter of Trump here on FR (and got in many arguments against those who didn’t support Trump), I agree with you, a self-admitted late-comer.

We must come together and support our President. The rest is water under the bridge.

In that spirit, I have welcomed all of Cruz’ good behavior in recent weeks.

[DoughtyOne]

I am happy that Ted Cruz is recognized as the father of the NeveryTrumper movement.

You poor little Cruz disciples don’t get it. Fine.

When the nation was on the line, Ted whispered his support. That was after months of Ted taking the pose of the thinking man, trying to figure out what was right. Literally months it took the guy to figure out between Trump and Hillary Clinton.

In that decision, it took me less than a 1/1000th of a second.

Who did Ted endorse at the Republican Convention?

At that convention Ted refused to get behind Hillary’s opponent.

Just color me NeverTead!
