1. I have not argued for purging voters from the GOP. I have argued that we need to regularly cull the leadership of both the party & the movement of their worst individual actors. That list is currently led, though not exclusively, by scammers & bigots of a Trumpy character. https://twitter.com/BennyGad/status/1306615875789873159 …

5. I didn't call for purging Sessions, Christie, or Kasich, but I have still enjoyed watching them reap the results of their choices. On the other hand, the party & movement are well-served by throwing Bannon & Falwell jr. under the bus.

6. It is a good thing to rejoice in the demise of Bannon & his ilk, & seek a cleansing of those like him from the party & movement. They're just a con, neither interested nor successful in getting any good done.https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/steve-bannons-indictment-and-the-future-of-trumpism/ …

7. At the same time, I've always argued for understanding why Republican voters in 2016 rationally chose Trump in the general election (which I did not)https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/11/donald-trump-voters-defensible-reasons-2016/ …

8. Bannon's line about Donald Trump jr. really captures what made it essential to drum Bannon out of the movement https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/09/21/the-week-67/ …pic.twitter.com/o1BclUmhp4
