Seriously? You think because I criticize his tactics (not his strategy or his objectives) that I am a stealth Never Trumper like Kristol. I guess you missed the second half of the sentence where I said despite accomplishing good things.
Political idolatry is ,or should be a trait, of the left. Us conservatives should never practice political idolatry as we need to support ideas, not people. That's the sick thing about the Never Trumpers is that they turned their back on a lifetime of conservative principles (a lot of them have stated they would vote for socialists or progressives against the President) just because they hate one person- Donald Trump. If you think I am among that pathetic group of people you are very much mistaken. I am loyal to my principles, not to a person no matter who they are
This isn’t political idolatry. Not for a second. But, given what has been going on for the last few years, and then some, you’re either on the train or your not. There is no compromise anymore. Not with the Left. Not with the Never Trumpers. Not with anyone. The aforementioned want to destroy this country and remake it to their liking...ie The Hunger Games and Divergent. No two ways about it.
But, if you have the time, can you provide an example of his tactics that you criticize? The man may be a little rough around the edges for some, but for about 60+ million folks, he’s exactly what was needed and will be needed in the future.
At the end of the day, the President isn’t a Conservative in what is probably the most accepted definition. He’s more a pragmatist and has common sense that definitely leans to the Right. The man says what he says, feels what he feels. Nothing more. Nothing less. And what is Right, is more or less, ALWAYS, something that those of us on the Right support.
If his language or tactics seem crude to you, maybe it’s because he’s learned in a very short time that perhaps that is the BEST and ONLY way he’ll get his message out there. He’s beaten the Left and the Dem’s at every turn. The media certainly isn’t going to help him. He, with one short tweet, can send the entire world into spasms. And, if I’m not mistaken, he hasn’t been wrong about much, if anything at all.
It’s time for those of us on the Right to start going at their throats the same way the Left has been going at ours since the 60s and beyond. Enough of this....Let’s play nice and come to an agreement, sh*t....they’ve always gotten what they wanted, no matter what. Look at the Covid-19 stimulus/PPP bill. Why in the f*ck does the Kennedy Center need/get $25million? Let their patrons, the elite from DC donate to keep it going and prevent them from laying everyone off as they did when they got their money.
Can’t speak for anyone esle, but when I pushed the button on the screen for Donald Trump, I knew what I was voting for. And I was and am hoping that he gets even more gangsta and angry in his second term.
In the immortal words of Max McGee, former Green Bay wide receiver: “When it’s 3rd and 10, you can take the milk drinkers and I’ll take the whiskey drinkers every time.”
I know the President doesn’t drink, but he for damn sure acts like a whiskey drinking when it’s 3rd & 10.
