A lot has happened since my well known essay “The Collapse of the Never Trumpers” appeared in 2018 — and none of it has been good for that tribe of pundits or their garden gnome leader, Bill Kristol. In fact, most of them have seen their careers collapse so spectacularly that only Michael Avenatti could really understand. George Will has semi-retired to a life of boring students to death as a commencement speaker at small colleges. Jonah Goldberg and Steven Hayes used to appear on Fox News regularly but now they pretend to fax a newsletter every morning to their remaining friends and family and David French.

And this is the nice sweet part. The rest is child abuse with a B-52 doing an arc-light mission. Go read and have fun.
It is a beautiful thing, watching these RINO Cuck traitors basically set themselves on fire. The denial of reality, the doubling down on the obviously wrong, all of it is just delicious.
My fondest memory of Jonah Goldberg was a Fox Sunday panel with him, Donna Brazile and little Chrissy Wallace belittling Kaley McElhaney. They looked like the kids at the cafeteria Nerd Table dissing the homecoming Queen.
Glad to hear NR is sinking. I canceled after 22 years when they called me and all Trumpers by the name of Cletus. They has some good essays and pro gun articles. Just never saw the positive side of Trump.

Great column.
