    1. There's a consistent belief among some liberals & Never Trump conservatives that if challenged by figures of demonstrable patriotism, public service & heroism, Trump's followers will (or should) desert him. But that repeatedly hasn't happened. Why?https://twitter.com/jaynordlinger/status/1189225511383384064 …

    A short while ago, men such as Robert Mueller, William Taylor, and Alexander Vindman would have been pin-ups for (us) American conservatives: decorated combat veterans; patriots; straight arrows. The urge to prop up Trump changed all of this. A heartbreaking and infuriating era.

        2. I think the mistake people are making is thinking that right-wing nationalism is about devotion to the country as a whole & to military service. Rather, it's devotion to the rule of a particular faction over the country.

        3. The right believes that they are the nation, the true nation. So any soldier, no matter how demonstrably patriotic or heroic, who challenges them is an enemy of the nation. Hence Joseph McCarthy's attack on Marshall, swift boating of John Kerry, Trump's rubbishing of McCain.

        Because conservatism is nothing more than the propagation of white supremacy and anyone who threatens that automatically becomes part of the “other” and therefore the enemy?

        Because elites aren't trusted by them. Similar dynamic on the populist left too. Explains their rise, not only here but globally.

        It’s conservative media. My brother is a long-time GOP senate staffer. He went from loving Patrick Fitzgerald to hating Patrick Fitzgerald to prop up Bush.
