A crazy nutter calling people he disagrees with crazy nutters. Non stop 24 hrs a day.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.


An anti-Trumper (David Brooks no less), starts to notice some of the absurdity:

The Decline of Anti-Trumpism

Quote:
I mention these inconvenient observations because the anti-Trump movement, of which I?m a proud member, seems to be getting dumber. It seems to be settling into a smug, fairy tale version of reality that filters out discordant information. More anti-Trumpers seem to be telling themselves a ?Madness of King George? narrative: Trump is a semiliterate madman surrounded by sycophants who are morally, intellectually and psychologically inferior to people like us.

I?d like to think it?s possible to be fervently anti-Trump while also not reducing everything to a fairy tale.

[...]

In every war, nations come to resemble their enemies, so I suppose it?s normal that the anti-Trump movement would come to resemble the pro-Trump movement. But it?s not good. I?ve noticed a lot of young people look at the monotonous daily hysteria of we anti-Trumpers and they find it silly.
