Sean is satisfied with the legislative record of the past four years & the outcomes of the 2018 & 2020 elections. I am not. So much more could have been done. So much was wasted by Trump, his failures of character & leadership, & his totally unnecessary personal obsessions. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1352266262626390018 …

Yes, much was accomplished in 4 years, & Rs did better than many of the doomsday scenarios envisioned, in 2016, 2018 & 2020. None of that, however, changes the sheer volume of unforced errors by Trump & how those accumulated to little passed in Congress & unified D control.

The lesson going forward should be that Rs choose a leader dedicated to unifying the Right & isolating the Left, focused on advancing the cause & the party rather than his own ego & interests, & prepared to advance on many fronts from Day One.

Also, the fundamental divide on the Right is over whether we advocates need to do anything besides tell the converted what they want to hear & already believe. Do we already have a governing majority? Do persuadable people exist? Does objective truth exist? Does policy take work?

I believe - and I realize this is controversial on the Right - that the world consists of something besides Right & Left, and that people who enthusiastically prefer Donald Trump are not such a decisive national majority that we need never appeal to anyone else.

Which is not at all my view, and has never been my view. No party can or should ever try to purge large segments of its rank & file.https://twitter.com/OneFineJay/status/1352308528711675918 …

Q from someone definitely to the Left of you (although not Left): The blunt-force approach that Trump brought to the table, plus McConnell's refusal to exercise checks and balances, won many conservative goals. Would a "sleeker" model Trump have won you more?

Dan -- as an avid former NR reader and Republican, I'm realizing that *most* of the people in that movement were in fact foul and vicious people. I see that in the way they turned on me and each other. 1/2

I've decided that intellectual honesty compels me to admit that it can't be a coincidence that this movement I was in is filled with so many evil people. Do you see what I'm saying? 2/2
