Once again, @JRubinBlogger expresses my sentiments exactly and well. As long as the GOP is Trumpist, or in the business of running interference for Trump, #NeverRepublican is the necessary corollary to #NeverTrump. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/13/nevertrump-becomes-neverrepublican/?utm_campaign=wp_opinions_pm&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_popns">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
When then do I still consider myself a Republican (who will be voting in November against almost every Republican I can find)? This ... from J.S. Mill& #39;s "On Liberty". We need a healthy right. And that means sticking around to someday make that happen.
And ... a healthy right is *the* critical requirement for a liberal democracy. No challenge is more important, per @dziblatt. https://www.amazon.com/Conservative-Democracy-Cambridge-Comparative-Politics-ebook/dp/B06XTL8LH9/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=daniel+ziblatt&qid=1589407964&sprefix=daniel+zinlatt&sr=8-2">https://www.amazon.com/Conservat...

A sentiment, I think, held by such disparate right-of-center voices like @davidfrum and @henryolsenEPPC. I’m with them.
And @Peter_Wehner. Talk about a lonely but idealistic crowd .... even so, I’m glad to stand with them.
Here’s your round map to a better, healthier GOP. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/12/niskanen-center-future-republican-party-sane-libertarian.html">https://nymag.com/intellige...
