      I grew up reading @NRO. Its founder, William F. Buckley Jr., was a childhood hero. So it was a shock on Monday afternoon to see myself attacked in National Review as, essentially, a traitor to the white race. My @PostOpinions column:https://wapo.st/33zJ615

      Max. Your hero and his publication literally blamed black people for bombing their own church in Birmingham in 1963 to make segregationists look bad. Buckley thought blacks weren’t fit to vote. Welcome to reality...

      Ok and yet he’s just now acknowledging what this means? That’s my point

      It was a decade-long process for me to finally leave @GOP behind for good. It started with the horrendous conservative reaction to Bill Clinton's election, evolved as I got more horrified at the increasing rejection of science in the GOP, and was completed by invasion of Iraq.

          And I welcome all defectors. I just dont appreciate Max’s preciousness in being shocked at the racism of his side... just admit you were blind forever and the right was always about racism and move on

          That's what I was forced to do when I finally stopped identifying with @GOP. (I never joined the party but nearly always voted Republican from 1980-2000.) A several year period of self-flagellation followed in which I asked myself how I could have been so blind for so long.

          Basically, I saw the direction the @GOP was going over a quarter century ago, but because party and political orientation are so linked to identity, it's very hard to change.

          As a result, even though I'd become uncomfortable, things had to get really bad before the cognitive dissonance was uncomfortable enough to prod me to finally leave @GOP behind for good.
