    I wrote this essay one year ago. It isn’t the best column I’ve written, but it might be the most controversial one I’ve written for @thedailybeast. How has it aged?https://www.thedailybeast.com/dear-trump-voters-youre-a-bunch-of-idiots …

        All good points but they don’t matter anymore, unfortunately. It’s about winning, and rational people may not think Trump is winning, but he does, so his base does. That’s all that matters now, not morals, or values, or even what’s good for our country.

        It *is* a great column, Matt. Bold & cold & true. Aren’t you happy to be on the record? Well, the GOP isn’t breaking from Trump. I’ll never rejoin or support it again. Rotten to the core and controlled, as you say, by masses of asses. But I do have clear eyes & my soul in tact.

        You hate Trump for trying to stop illegal immigrants. You have no problem in “globalism”. You worry more about jobs in Mexico then jobs for our own middle class. It’s all about profit for the donors ( & yourself thru $ contributions). Write s article about that. Got it Matt.

        So, after reading the article, you are just a Establishment Republican. You love the swamp. You are a Bushie. You love John McCain & Jeff Flake. You love making deals in smokey back rooms. Enriching yourself. Sending jobs overseas so you make more profits, cheap illegal labor..

        Sorry Matt but "Trump" conservatives have always made up a significant portion of the Republican party. They just got tired of being paid lip service and riding in the back of the bus. We Libtards long ago saw this moment coming.

        It’s spot on, remains so, although Williamson’s title (2015) of his own take is more succinct and to the point: Witless Ape Rides Escalatorhttps://www.nationalreview.com/2015/06/witless-ape-rides-escalator-kevin-d-williamson/ …

        You look even more out of sync with the GOP now than you did then. The “party” has moved ridiculously far right, the ones with brains do nothing out of Trump fear, and true conservatives who speak out are on an island just to the right of center.

        Wishful thinking Matt. Most republicans have sat idling by while this president has disgraced the Republican Party and disgraced this country of ours. I have no faith in the so called “conservatives”.
