For context, the author is one of the more influential members of the Federalist Society, the right-wing judicial takeover group. If you've lost him, you've lost a huge chunk of people who have historically funded the Republican party patronage machine.
Polls indicate Trump has overwhelming approval among republicans.
There's only like 10 of those mythical never-trump moderate respectable republicans, and every single one of them has a job writing editorials for NYT and other liberal media.
Yep, they're only alienating democrats by trotting these people out. You should go out and show that both parties aren't the same instead of platforming people that say Kamala will further the goals of the American Empire and won't get in the way of the further hollowing out of the judiciary.
Dems literally couldn't have given republicans a bigger gift than abandoning any message of progress or materially improving people's conditions to chase <10% of the republican base. Republicans are campaigning just by associating the democrats with the policies of the republicans they keep trotting out to represent them. https://xcancel.com/OS26/status/1850299840627921180
There aren’t a lot of conservative judges like this guy left. He testified in front of the January 6 Committee, so Trump lost him a while ago, but his testimony and subsequent public interviews are master classes in what it means to put the country before partisanship. I strongly disagree with his judicial philosophy and his conservatism, and find a lot of his views to be antiquated and part of the problem, but he stood up and spoke out when others didn’t. That should still mean something for a judge, who rarely go public like this.
Should've been speaking out against all the Republicans before Trump. Republicans like to act like Trump happened in a vacuum. All he is is just the human form of the Republican platform for the past 60 years saying the quiet parts out loud
It's not too late. You will always remember what you did at this point. If Harris fucks up the economy or takes let's immigrants in, how much is that to risk vs the alternative?
Trump will fuck up the economy, and will probably encourage vigalante lynchings of anyone whose not nazi enough. they'll start with the immigrants and when they run out of those go to LGBTQ+, or women or whoever.
The problem they won't have an answer to, and the reason fascism eventually always fails, is that eventually, you run out of people to hate. there is no one ideologically pure enough; no matter what standard the zealots take.
