"So much of what we do nowadays in communications is just online and bomb throwing....when you do actually talk to the person...it radically changes your perceptions of them." "Bill's kind of more than human though, he's kind of superhuman." Sam and Tim talk Bill Kristol:

Hearing Sam Stein -- who used to write about Bill Kristol as Satan incarnate -- sing the praises of Bloody Bill Kristol was...fascinating.
And, sure, he acknowledges that this might piss off some of those crusty, old Liberals who are, y'know, still hanging on to old grudges about the Iraq war from the Before Time, but whatever, bitches!
Tempus fugit! Bill Kristol is a great guy. The best. Possibly superhuman. To know him is to love him.
And that's when Sam unveiled his Policy For Judging Human Beings. That while some people may seem terribly wicked from a distance or across the interwebs, once you get to know them, "when you do actually talk to the person...it radically changes your perceptions of them" (and, in this case, once they're signing your paycheck) they're pretty OK.
Basically, people are people, so even when people seem to be malignant, lying monsters, your go-to move should be to forgive and forget. Absolve and move on.
Cool, cool.
So, given his radically revised Policy For Judging Human Beings, where does the newly enlightened Sam Stein stand on the question of those Republican people who lined up to vote for Trump's bill?
Oh, those people? Those people all spineless, unprincipled, lying, performative scum who should rot in Hell.
Here endeth the lesson.

The Bulwark is just another Con con. Their politcal analysis and advice is insipid, warmed over GOP talking points circa 1980-2015.
