"So how do we split the political difference on this one? Shall we talk about Mexican migrants as rapists on every other day? Shall we provide rhetorical cover for alt-right bigots only on special occasions, such as after a racist rally and murder? ... While some Republicans have criticized media bias, Trump has attempted to systematically delegitimize all critical information as “fake news” and referred to the media as “the enemy of the people.” While other politicians have pushed back against investigations, Trump has attempted to discredit federal law enforcement as part of a “deep state” plot against him."
Gerson, a conservative columnist, is spot on with how untenable the current situation is with Trump. It is impossible to be a principled conservative under his tenure. Sadly, i think he is wrong about where this will all end up. When the dust settles, all that will be left will be revanchist white nationalism completely unmoored from reality. -- Nuggetsman
