Enter the nasty lot that make up the effete-Right.
Ostensibly, this lot stands for the “principles” that President Trump lacks. No one outside of their allies at CNN or their own circle believes that but, so far as they are concerned, that’s all that matters.
As a group, they are exemplified by the uniformly anti-Trump publication, The Bulwark. As for specific individuals, a few names come to mind; yet with his recent endorsement of Joe Biden for president, Washington Post columnist and NBC News commentator George Will is an exemplar.
Will retreated from the GOP in June 2016, incensed at Donald Trump’s then-imminent nomination as the Republican presidential candidate. In a recent conversation with USA Today, Will emphatically pledged his vote to Biden, arguing that Trump and the GOP deserved to lose because they had betrayed conservative principles.
Remember, Biden plans to extend citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens. His gun-control plan will compel individuals who own AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles, and magazines holding more than 10 rounds, to either surrender them in a federal buyback program or register each of their qualifying items under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
The process to register with the NFA is $200, on top of extra fees, and it would apply for every qualifying item in one’s possession.
Such policies used to be anathema to most conservatives. Control of the borders and Second Amendment rights are basic and bedrock principles on the Right.
Yet Will and the writers at The Bulwark are angry that “their” conservative movement (whatever that is) has walked out on them. Trump has stolen “their” party, they say. He has co-opted “their” platform, and perverted “their” cause with poisonous populism and vile nationalism. Essentially, they are driven mad by an unfaithful social force that they feel is their rightful possession. They have, in other words, been made a cuckold by their bride, Middle America, and have been wearing the horns of shame and humiliation ever since.
A quick search for “cuckshed”—that is, a location in which one is certain to find cuckolds—with the DuckDuckGo search engine shows The Bulwark as the top result. Algorithms don’t lie.
“Today, conservatism is soiled by scowling primitives whose irritable gestures lack mental ingredients,” writes Will in the very conservative Washington Post. Which “mental ingredients” we scowling primitives lack is unclear from his description, but with all the swagger of a bespeckled Keebler Elf, Will himself declines to offer much beyond “sugar and spice, and everything nice.”
When asked if his formula of conservatism has been rejected by the people who have been hurt by it the most, Will’s response is typically haughty. “There is a cohort of the American electorate that has said economic dynamism is too stressful.” Middle America, in this view, simply cannot handle the “dynamism” of the economic and political globalism that has devastated American industry, eroded national sovereignty, and flooded the country with foreigners.
Here National Review’s Kevin Williamson says what Will perhaps wishes he could: “The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die.”
“America needs a reminder of conservatism before vulgarians hijacked it,” Will writes, “and a hint of how it became susceptible to hijacking.”
After all, Will is peak conservatism. He says so himself and will remind you of his Reagan bona fides with pursed lips and beady eyes peering over the rims of gilded spectacles.
No one could look at the track record of these duncy doyens and take them seriously. They have been wrong about Middle East interventionism, wrong about globalism, wrong about immigration, and wrong about so much more. The death of The Weekly Standard should have put them on notice, but it didn’t. They just got nastier and morphed into the troglodytic caricatures they complained others made of them.
Will and his kind are smear merchants precisely because they are boring, unimaginative, walled-off, inadequate, and jealous. Whatever flaws Trump has—and they are many—Middle America does not seem at all interested in renewing its vows with the likes of George Will, Bill Kristol, or David French.
And I will laugh my ass off at them when they get their comeuppance.
“...In 2016 they said that they “weren’t voting for Trump”, their way of giving the finger to the millions of conservatives who held their noses and voted for them and other establishment Republicans in general elections because they were the only viable alternatives to liberal Democrats. “

The Bushes need to realize that “STAY OUT DA BUSHES” applies not only to the JEB generation but also to the UPCOMING generation(s) of Bushes. THEY WON’T FOOL US AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN!
Beware the intelligencia. They are not doers. They lack real world experience. They write for a living. Then they get upset when someone comes along and actually does something they once wrote about. Perhaps they realize that if a problem is really solved they have one less to write about.
President Trump is a businessman. He measures things in actual accomplishments. He's a doer. He's a builder. He's a maker. George Will and his ilk, which includes the vast majority of current and former Republican politicians are takers. They use words to take. They never built anything in their lives. Their lives are one big lie. And you know what? They know it is so and don't give a damn.
Will is the living definition of ‘panty waist’.
The Leftie Prog Tards love to accuse Conservatives of being “afraid of strong women”. That’s tommy rot, of course.
But Will is the kinda effete femme man who’s afraid of strong men, which Trump is, a classic Alpha Male.
I wager that Will has no respect or affection for John Wayne, either.
Will’s a limp doosh rag.
What they stand for is the completion of the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
It’s been their life’s work and Trump is a threat to what they have spent their careers advancing.
They won’t, it would kill George P.
If that’s the case, I do hope that Jeb endorses Biden. The last thing we need is Jorge P setting his eyes on the White House 8 years from now.
