David French has offered a deeply pathetic NeverTrump manifesto just in time for the election. It rehashes French’s ongoing themes of (a) his morality superiority (b) the irrelevance or nonexistence of perfidy on the left and (c) the betrayal of all Republicans and evangelicals who do not think exactly as he does. Nothing you did not already know about the Gospel of St. David. I read it so you don’t have to. You’re welcome.
The bottom line is that St. David forbids you from making the determination that whatever his past sexual indiscretions, unfortunate traits, and departures from GOP orthodoxy, it is a certainty that
(a) A Trump administration is vastly more likely to appoint judges who will not help ideological leftists and the deep state undo the Constitutional order.
(b) A Trump administration will not forbid men so-inclined to wear dresses or surgically mutilate themselves, but will not let government order us to pretend they are women, nor mutilate minors and nor impose that doctrine in every classroom.
(c) A Trump administration will not open the borders with the cynical, illegal, traitorous intention of installing waves of dependent illegal voters to displace American voters while sending us the bill for the care of the invaders.
(d) A Trump administration will not persist in the sick fantasy that deference and submission to Iranian mullahs is the key to world peace.
(e) A Trump administration gives us a fighting chance of stemming the debt, getting DEI out of the military, and defunding the woke assault on Western culture.
However, you may not think that way about any of that when you vote. David French's loathing of Trump is the only issue.
David French says you are a hater, but openly sides with those who make no pretense about their contempt for you and your values and willingness to “cancel” you in any way they can. David French condemns the supposed falsities common in right-leaning media but has never had the moral fiber and consistency to condemn his current employer’s (NYT) dishonest handling of Hillary’s campaign dirty trick and the abuses of power in support of it, nor their deliberate deceptions regarding Hunter’s laptop, nor anything else—and there is a lot to choose from. Whereas you owe David a personal apology for not condemning any and every exaggeration or bombast by Trump or any spin on the FoxNews channel or RedState. He proudly mocks a Tennessee man for not being able to cite any particular NYT falsehood. Call on one of us Ricochetti next time, David.
The bottom line is that you failed to reject Trump when St. David told you to do so. Now you must suffer whatever depredations a hard-left corrupt, permanent state chooses to inflict on you as punishment. The end of religious freedom, parental rights, quality education without indoctrination, gun rights, economic liberty and energy sanity are the least sanctions you deserve for your sinfulness. And while all that happens, be sure not to hate your oppressors.
David French refuses to allow you to take into account the nature of Trump’s opponent. You must pretend that the sheer evil of Trump, or more accurately the David French declaration of that evil is the sole issue. The irony of the enormity of French’s ego as he condemns Trump’s unforgivable levels of self-regard is lost on him. He is a ridiculous man.

Perhaps if Republicans lost, the people would see how bad things would get under a Democrat regime and vote Republican in the next election. O, wait! Never mind.

That in a nutshell is the approach that the Left's leaders are taking with regards to Kamala. That she is not Orange Man Bad.
Apparently that tactic doesn't work. Over the last 18 months, major influencers Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand have finally woken up to who Donald Trump happens to be. Over the last 120 days, they have been joined by former liberal Naomi Wolf, former Dem Tulsi Gabbard and of course RFK Jr.

If this post were to ever draw his attention, he would pronounce the word count as indicative of his incandescent glory regardless of any petty issues with the content.

He said a few weeks ago that it is necessary to send a message to MAGA. The message is that he is a whining male "Karen". What next? Will he stamp his foot and hold his breath until people vote his way?

He is paid by the word and his checks clear regardless.
