Today In "Burn The Lifeboats" News: The National Review Goes Full Crypto-Anarcho-Tankie-Commie



From America's most venerable journal of White Supremacy comes the sound of panic and of lifeboats hitting the water (no link because fuck 'em):
Trump’s Disgraceful Endgame
By THE EDITORS
...

There are legitimate issues to consider after the 2020 vote about the security of mail-in ballots and the process of counting votes (some jurisdictions, bizarrely, take weeks to complete their initial count), but make no mistake: The chief driver of the post-election contention of the past several weeks is the petulant refusal of one man to accept the verdict of the American people. The Trump team (and much of the GOP) is working backwards, desperately trying to find something, anything to support the president’s aggrieved feelings, rather than objectively considering the evidence and reacting as warranted.
...

I'm including this snippet here --  

Flawed and dishonest assertions like this pollute the public discourse and mislead good people who make the mistake of believing things said by the president of the United States.
...

-- because it contains the most hilariously ridiculous assertion in the whole editorial: That there are some non-trivial number of "good people" on the Right who are being innocently misled into badthinkfulness because they believe "things said by the president of the United States."

Newsflash, Editors, there are no "good people" on the Right.  There are only bigots and imbeciles and madmen and brown shirts and, of course, various species of parasites and con men like the editors of the NRO who feed off of them.  

That's it.  Nothing more.

the job of the right's media and unfortunately a 'middle media' also is to make bad people feel better about themselves...

that's what keeps them coming back...the rewards of validation.

people use information the way a drunk uses a lamp post, for support not illumination.

imagine walking into a catholic confessional and the priest says 'you have NOTHING to confess, you're perfect!'

I know,
let the major networks go out and round up some Trump voter groups. start having interview after interview of why they voted for Trump. So other Trump voters can feel justified and identify . Let them trash and snarl at those socialist commies who voted for Biden. OH, and those inferior races .
All the great things Trump accomplished. Not the failures and intended and unintended harm/ damage.
I"I love the Troops just like Trump. When Trump shits on our allies as NATO to cuddle up to Putin. That weakening of NATO enabling and emboldening Putin's communist dictatorial (Un American) adversarial; agenda of our existence and our Constitution.
Only leaves to Military personnel more vulnerable if the future when called to put their lives on the line for American interests.

"I can't believe that many people voted for Biden. So lets go talk to the losers to spread their losing words".
