Personally, if I'd written "A Liberal Case for Trump" in 2016, I would absolutely be shutting the fuck up right now. *Especially* if that column explicitly handwaves SCOTUS picks.
Yes, very bad column. Agreed.
But right now, I’m not wrong.
And as someone who warned that Biden was a risk bc of his age-related decline but then supported Biden in 2020 against Trump anyway—and will do so again if he’s ultimately the nominee—I think it’s a fine critique to make.
Sorry, but you don't get to be that catastrophically wrong, then spend *years* defending defending it--even as everything you were warned about at the time comes to pass--and pretend that you have valuable insight. We told you in 2016 that Trump would be a disaster. You shrugged.
And you backed Clinton in the primary even though the left was warning it was a mistake. And she lost.
I think we can call it a wash and look forward. Because that’s 8 years history. Now, we have to beat Trump. And we have save democracy. Because what Trump plans is the culmination of a 50 years
Again, you literally argued that Trump was better than Clinton. Fuck all the way off until you find a sign that says "No fucking off beyond this point." Then continue to fuck off forever.
