whether Anonymous Times Contributor had any guts,he or she would quit and tell the truth approximately Trump in publicThe spectacle of draft-dodger in chief Donny Bone Spurs playing at being commander in chief is making some people whom “liberals” fancy to hate look noble. perhaps a limited too noble.
Neoliberal Democrats who stage “Resistance” galas in Manhattan’s palatial Beaux Arts Stephen A. Schwarzman Building are much too excitedapproximately the anonymous New York Times op-ed that announces a “'Resistance' Inside the Trump Administration” but tells us nothing we dont already know approximately “adults in the room” supposedly tempering or deflecting President Trump’s gyrations.
Not a syllable in the column suggests that the author and his confederates would be anything but delighted to implement Vice President Mike Pence’s (or Brett Kavanaughs) paleo-conservative, evangelical-pandering agenda from the White House.
Even David Frum, or George W. Bush’s former “Axis of Evil” speechwriter and a very smart whether somewhat doctrinaire “free markets-über alles” conservative,has been looking noble by warning grandiloquently approximately Trumps authoritarianism. Now, Frum is mocking the anonymous op-ed author for saying, and in Frum's words,“See, we only look complicit. We’re actually the genuine heroes of the story, or ” even as they keep working for this monster.
He has a point. Couldn’t Anonymous and the other tall-level Trump-minders he supposedly speaks for save the republic by resigning openly, en masse, and giving Robert Mueller the information that might truly slay the dragon and discredit Pence’s toadying?Isn’t that what honorable conservatives should achieve at this moment of extreme crisis for the republic? Although I disdain their refusal to grasp the conservative prophet Whittaker Chambers’ observation that no honorable conservatism can be built on today’s corporate capitalism, or which destroys civic culture,I’d honor them anyway whether they place their careers at risk, as John Dean, or Elliot Richardson and other tall-level Nixon officials did to save the republic during the Watergate crisis, as John McCain was doing, as soon-to-be former White House counsel Don McGahn is doing, and as Mueller himself, a lifelong Republican, is doing. whether the op-ed writer’s and Frums histrionics are something more than self-justifying, or ideologically opportunistic feints,let them be the heroes the country really needs.
