      1 One of the most frustrating things for a movement conservative is that it feels impossible to publicly make the [accurate] case that the reason we have Trump - the reason so many on the right embraced him despite all his obvious shortcomings, vulgarities, & inadequacies

      tldr: We Republicans gave you Trump because this is a democracy and the other major political faction sometimes has power, which is intolerable, so who can you be surprised that we're trying to smash liberal-democracy and replace it with authoritarian minority rule?

      David is saying two things: 1) Here is an actual reason why Republicans embraced Trump; 2) and they were wrong to do so. They shouldn’t have embraced him. I agree with David. Parts of the left have been intolerant. Many people embraced Trump because of it. They shouldn’t have.

          I DM’d David to ask if has repudiated the views of his father. I don’t want to ascribe to him those views if he now rejects them. Has David ever formally rejected reconstructionism? Or has he written in support?

          Yes—if this logic holds, then the left should be lining up behind an actual left version of Trump, @DavidAFrench will completely understand and sympathize with that move, and we are all doomed!

          And our response is #1 is still a poor excuse even if you are chastising conservatives for #2

          *Bork* was “attacked” by the “secular progressive left”? ??

          I agree that the Dems made me do it is a ridiculous argument. But I also reject the “Trump has been the plan all along” or even “Trump was the inevitable end to 50 years of Republican policy and politics.”

          I embraced the left because of conservative intolerance of dissent during the Iraq War.
