The 2016 election lives loudly in everybody right now.
On the Trumpian right, “the polls were wrong before” isn’t merely an observation, it’s a catechism.
And on the anti-Trumpian left, it’s a constant source of anxiety bordering on panic. It’s making a lot of folks a little crazy.
My friend John Podhoretz, conservative editor of Commentary Magazine, pointed this out to me a few months ago. He lives in New York City, surrounded by Upper West Side liberals prone to flights of jangly rage if you suggest that Joe Biden has the race in the bag.
“Don’t jinx it! That’s what people said in 2016!” they shout.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse. The fear that the country could reelect President Trump after so much muchness these last four years is almost an existential dread, manifesting as quick-tempered outrage at anyone or anything that might upset Biden’s trajectory.
BJ - and Jonah is a full blown Anti-Trumper
I used to like jonah...till he turned into a Never-Trump moron..........
Why did you used to like him? His conservative values?
Yes.....he is a conservative and I also enjoyed his book "Liberal Fascism." But then he became a Never-Trumper in the face of hilary clinton possibly being President....that showed that he is an idiot.....who doesn't understand the fight, and is the type of republican who let the democrat party throw sand in their face without responding......
If he had had his way, and Trump had lost the election....hilary clinton would be appointing the 3rd Supreme Court pick to the Supreme Court and packing the federal bench with left wing, democrat party activists dressed in robes.....
And it was one thing to be afraid of Trump in 2016 when he was unknown other than being a New York, likely democrat, with no track record....but we now have over 3 years of actual Trump achievements.......ranking him as one of the best conservative Presidents in my lifetime and at least in the last 60 years...... fullfilling all of the things that republican politicians have promised but never delivered on.....all the while fighting both the democrat party and the republican party to get it done..
On top of that, we know that obama, biden and the democrat party leadership used the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and state dept. to get illegal FISA warrants to spy on Trump, and used the FBI to destroy General Flynn.....
Jonah Goldberg's opposition to Trump makes no rational sense in any way shape or form...
He didn't support Clinton over Trump. Goldberg holds all the same principles he had when you liked him. That means you changed not him.
Allow me to repeat..since you are pretending to not understand...
Yes.....he is a conservative and I also enjoyed his book "Liberal Fascism."
