Opinion: Understanding the mysterious group of Never Trumpers
Then what?You’re assuming there will be a Republican Party. But if you are right, I have no interest in them anyway.We have spent four years pining for the time that we can return to normal policy debates. I’ll agree with them sometimes and disagree with them sometimes. But Harry Truman was right — if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. I will say, however, that on the issues on which our democratic survival depends , Democrats are on the right side. Everything else is a negotiation.
I find it pathetic that anything remotely resembling idealism is met with blank stares and a “Does not compute!” reaction by political pseudo-sophisticates and cynics. I remain shocked that there are so few Never Trumpers and that so many people think politics is purely for their self-aggrandizement rather than a noble exercise grounded in values. The cynicism and amorality of Republicans who clearly know better but prey on the voters’ fears, ignorance and racism is sickening.
Second, a lot of what conservatives said in the past about progressives was flat wrong; a lot of what progressives said about conservatives was right, most especially the accusation that racism was far more prevalent in the GOP than some of us wanted to acknowledge. Leaving behind tribal identification can be refreshing but also sobering.
