The insincerity of BOTH "s...Excellent points.<br /><br />The insincerity of BOTH "sides" in the political arena is on full display when the Democrats -- who should like Trump, given most of his policies -- hate him so much as to be cross-eyed; and the Republicans support him. The answer increasingly is that he holds power and professes allegiance to the right.<br /><br />Never mind that nobody seems to be thinking much about power <i>for what</i>, or about what will happen when someone they should loathe and fear ever gets it.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-28830636126130037942020-09-08T19:01:00.127-06:002020-09-08T19:01:00.127-06:00I think it's much worse than this. What merit...I think it's much worse than this. What merits can someone argue are part of the Trump administration?<br />Trump ran and won office promising to regulate trade and immigration. These are old school, democrat positions. His time in office has been one of brazen corruption, out of control spending, calls for "big and bold" infrastructure spending, crippling regulations requiring record breaking bailouts and destruction of all presidential norms.<br />Not to mention the cowardly appeasement of all of America's enemies and withdrawal of American leadership from the world in a perverse inversion of a so called "America First" foreign policy.<br />The question for the likes of Shapiro is, where to now? <br />What's the plan after Trump?<br />How can anyone take conservatives seriously as an alternative to the left after this?<br /><br />The reality is that it is the very intellectual bankruptcy and glaring contradictions in the ideology of the Ben Shapiro's in the conservative movement that has given us Trump and that's not something he will have the courage and honesty to face because that would end his media business.Peter Smithnoreply@blogger.com
