      Here’s where the Left is today—and here’s what David French is writing about. At its best, it’s uselessly shouting “serenity now!” to keep Orange Man Bad away.pic.twitter.com/wyWNUEykpn

      C'mon Dave, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. You're really gonna complain that he hasn't written about AOC since...yesterday? https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-monumental-hypocrisy/ …

      The point isn’t that he hasn’t mentioned AOC by name. I think that the obsession with the kind of column he wrote—and it’s at least weekly from somebody since 2016—reveals how little he seems to understand about where the real threat is coming from.

      There is always more than one threat. The corrosive effect of Trump's character - and of the need to present vice as virtue - remains a serious threat to destroy the Right.

      I disagree. I don’t think Trump’s character is anything that could be reasonably described as a “threat.” This isn’t a new development, but it’s clear that if we no longer see the same threats and have the same policy priorities, in what way are we in a real coalition?

      Serious question: did Nixon leave the GOP better off than he found it? Do scandals ever matter? Do lies ever matter? Do movements ever turn people away they might attract? Do we care if the things we say are opposite of the things we said yesterday?

      Those assumptions are based on the idea that we’re not currently going through a massive political convulsion, where Americans no longer share even the most basic vision of justice or the Good. We can have that discussion in the abstract, thinking nothing has changed, or not.

      You can't fight a battle of values unarmed. Trump degrades so many of the things we said we were about. If our movement is just about raw power, well, why not join the Left then? They do that better.

      It’s not about raw power; it’s about protecting the nation and the rights of its citizens. I see no bigger threat than the war on free speech. The Left’s “words are violence” formulation will very soon collapse it. Attacks on Trump’s virtue aren’t contributing to that fight.

      The issue, I think, hasn’t fundamentally changed since 2016: many of us believe we’re in a serious crisis, and others believe things would be fundamentally the same if not for Trump and his vices.

      I believe we're in a serious crisis. I also believe that Trump makes it harder, not easier, for us to respond to that crisis. He's a liability.

          So if you had a fresh, new guy with Trump’s positions on every issue—but without his vices—you’re saying that’a what you’d support? I believe that his vices are an easier target for critics than his policies, because they’re popular. But almost all the critics oppose those too.

          Depends: you mean the positions he's professed, the ones he ran on, or the things his Admin has done in office? Right now, the core of my issue with Trump is Trump himself. I've supported a pretty broad variety of Republicans over the years. I'd have voted for the other 16.

          Yeah this crisis would be better if we rolled over with someone like Romney

          As Trump tries to save America from the Leftist hordes, the NeverTrumpers are concerned about playing by the Queens rules. I’m with @davereaboi . Dan, if yo can’t see the real threat by now then you are a lost cause.
