      Dave's point is that we should be like the Democrats and side blindly with our own all the time, no matter what they do. I'm disagreeing with that.

      Right—but that’s just empirically false. The Dems recently forced the resignation of a very popular senator, Al Franken. They also, around the same time, forced the resignation of a prominent long term member of Congress, John Conyers.

      They forced out Franken only when they knew they could safely replace him with a D. Ditto Conyers. Something like the Never Trump movement would be impossible - inconceivable - on the D side.

      They did what they had to do. Well, a crackpot, authoritarian, revanchist, financially corrupt moral monster of Trump’s world historic scale is impossible within the Democratic Party. And there is no “Never Trump” *movement*—just never Trump writers. The Party supports Trump.

      Well, you can support progressive talking points if that's what floats your boat.

      It’s true. I don’t know who you guys think you’re writing for anymore.

      Not for giving aid & comfort to progressive talking points, that's for sure.

      It’s not a taking point. It’s the truth. You are deeply out of touch with Republican voters.

      I know quite a few people IRL who were lifelong Rs, not political professionals, who refused to ever support Trump.

          Trump lost lots of white suburban professionals (while picking up Latino working class voters)—but there’s no “Never Trump” *movement.* The writers matter because intellectual culture must matter to some extent—but it’s not permeating at the grass roots.

          Had Trump left things as they were on Election Day 2020, I'd have let him be. The problem is that he chose to burn everything down after that. I don't think we get 74 million votes for what Trump did from 11/4 to 1/6.
