The True Conservatives Hype A Trumpocalypse In A Desperate Bid For Attention
Townhall, Sep 11, 2017, Kurt Schlichter

The latest Never Trump meme is that Donald Trump has defected to the Democrats, a notion that might charitably be labeled “wishful thinking” if it actually involved any thinking. But the “wishful” part is in full effect as this tattered remnant of worshippers at the altar of Establishment Conservatism seeks to revive their failed cult and reassume their position as the priesthood of all things on the right.

You remember Establishment Conservatism, right? It is to conservatism as Unitarians are to Christianity – “Well, I sort of believe in something, but mostly I just want whatever I do validated.” Establishment Conservatism is the sect that promised for seven years to repeal Obamacare then…didn’t. But that was Trump’s fault, of course, because reasons and because you’re a fake conservative for asking and also shut up.

So, this week’s True Con embarrassment arose because the Republicans were somehow going to score yet another smashing victory in a debt ceiling fight, as they always do, but darn that Trump! He got in the way of their cunning scheme. Or something.

The money quote from further in the article:

The frenzied Fredocon spaz-fest that followed gave away the game. “Oh no, Trump sold out everything conservatives believe in by delaying the GOP’s certain humiliation for three months! He betrayed you all with this insignificant delay and by ensuring the GOP didn’t walk into the ‘You Republicans are playing politics with Harvey aid!’ ambush. He's clearly a Democrat now and next it will be single payer and then he’ll change all our pronouns to ‘xe’ or ‘xir.’”

Blah blah blah blah blah. Don’t these people ever get tired of being wrong?

Yeah they flap their flabby jowls with threats of replacing every sitting congressman with Trumpers but don't have the brainpower or courage put together to admit how poorly Trumper challengers did in last year's election.

Talk about a desperate bid for attention.

Unfortunately for him, i was able to stop reading past the byline because all his articles are the same. Apparently professional trolling is a pretty lucrative art these days.

Heads up, @Machiavelli !!!

If I had an address for him I'd send him the tube of Vagisil he so sorely needs.

So Schlichter says "we're winning by inches, think Grant, not Patton."

More proof that we were lied to by Trump, McConnell, and Ryan. Their promises have been largely bovine scatology.

Most of us on TBR knew that before Inauguration Day, but we held out hope. The UniParty is Lucy, and the average voter is Charlie Brown.

It is a privilege to watch your mind work.

I read this article earlier and was going to post it myself. 

Keep in mind that Schlichter's candidate won the presidency as you read this bitter, ragey, saliva-flecked rant.  You would think he'd be happy.  Instead, as I've seen it pointed out, he and his fellow hardcore Trumpfans are getting angrier. 

Makes no sense.

Schlichter is another who went from calling Trump a lowlife lying piece of liberal crap to treating Trump like his messiah.

They are getting angrier because they know deep down they are full of shit; that Trump is indeed the liberal Democrat he has been all his life; that the 'Conservative label' was just bullshit to baffle and bully Republicans and Conservatives to get into line and support their messiah; and mostly because they hate, despise and loathe that those true Conservatives pointing out what Trump is doing and noting Trump's liberalism, will not shut up and go away.

They are pissed because we will not swear oaths of fealty to Trump and genuflect as they do daily.   I found the screeches about 'worshipping, failed cult and altars to be the typical Projection that Trump militants are known for.

I didn't know that.  But I see what you mean.

"But a bad week for Trump is a good week for America. This clown isn’t done yet, but his sell-by date as Republican is fast approaching and I couldn’t be happier.

He was ordered to report to Principal Priebus’s office for some pathetic groveling before the establishment he pretends he’s broken.

Plus, half of what Trump babbles could come out of Sanders’s mouth anyway.

And, to compound his hilarious and well-deserved agony,... "

Yep, I think some of the hardcore fans believed and hoped that everybody would come around and become enthusiastic Trump fans after the election.

They just wanted everybody on board so they could have cover. Instead they'll be stuck with many of us making sure history records the truth.

I had one on this very board tell me just last week that he guarantees I will become a 'True Believer' in Trump and be on board the Trump train in 2020.

That is how grossly deluded these people are.

I see them as not much different than other saluting hordes of fanatics that empowered madmen to heights of disaster.

I wish that were the case.  I seem to detect more of a wish to rub the noses of people who didn't support Trump in the Primaries last year in excrement.  Not all express that desire, but some do. 

It reminds me of something Valerie Jarrett once said about "payback."  It's like that.

@Cyber Liberty

I definitely agree with that.  But why are they so angry?  If they won, and they want to enjoy what they see as the schadenfreude of lording it over the rest of us, you'd think there would be an element of glee, or some kind of fun, in their demeanors.

Instead they seem angrier than they were before Trump won.  I don't know, it's just all "off".

I don't think the schadenfreude is sufficient.  I think there's a "Kneel before Zod" element at work here.

Where Trump has the authority to act he has acted in a more conservative manner than any president since Ike. Nominated conservative judges and a (mostly) conservative cabinet. As president he is enforcing our (immigration) laws that have been unenforced since Jimmy. Trumps' regulatory reforms are removing 7 regs for every new reg and making it much easier to get things done. He is taking a sledge hammer to the EPA. Not even Reagan was (in actions not words) as conservative as Trump.

Where he has had problems is with our do nothing Congress that spend 7 years telling us they would repeal OCare if they got the chance. Guess what it was all lies from GOP leadership. The national Debt is another scam the GOP plays on the uninformed as was completely revealed by George W Bush who blew the roof off of our debt. Do not blame Trump for the liars in the House and Senate.

They are angry because reality isn't treating them the way their delusion said it was going to go. Therefore someone is to blame - but not them. In order to avoid blame they have to rationalize the fault as being elsewhere no matter how twisted that rational is. They mirror their leader in that regard.

Yeah, and Obama was a greater Unifier of the country than Lincoln.

I swear, you people are worse than the cultish mobs that worshipped His Heinous I as a god.
