Some NeverTrumpers Giving Up The Old Grift, Starting Their New GriftJust before the election that made me proud to be an American for the first time since 2008, Politico wrote about NeverTrump. They didn't talk about the existential threat facing NeverTrump grifters: Either Trump would lose and their grift would be over, or Trump would win and their grift would be over. But Politico chose instead to play up all of the great things NeverTrump could do in the future.
NEVER TRUMP FACES THE EVER AFTER -- We're nine days away from the end of the presidential election (and potentially a few days more away from knowing the victor). But within one of the defining political factions of our era, the possibility of a Harris win is already prompting an existential question: Are we in the last gasps of the Never Trump movement? That bet didn't pay out. Whoops. CHARLIE SYKES, the Never Trump conservative and former talk radio host, has spent time with Harris for events on the campaign trail, and says he is taken with the "seriousness with which they're trying to create a big tent -- which is not the vibe we had from Democrats in the past." Whoops. If that happens, would the movement have the power to extract policy concessions from a potential Harris administration? It didn't happen and also "no," they could not have extracted policy concessions. "This is the million-dollar question," Mayo said. "After she wins, how do we use this political leverage -- because we will have delivered her the White House -- how do we use that leverage to communicate what it looks like for a Harris administration to tack in our direction? What does that mean for NATO and our commitments to our allies abroad? What does the foreign policy look like? What does an economic policy look like?" It's more like two-bit question.
They have permanently realigned with Democrats, who they always agreed with except on the point of American militarism. And yet the media keeps insisting they're Republicans, outside of articles like this. Even in a world where that happens, there would still be a conceivable use case for the coalition. I can't find a cite now, but just a couple of days after the election, if my memory is correct, Rick Wilson of the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association announced a new grift: Pay him money and he will run ads against Elon Musk and conduct "investigations." Wilson saw that the NeverTrump grift was hitting its expiration date and so he immediately started up a NeverMusk grift.
Eddie Scary for The Federalist: The media don't get to bounce back into the conversation and be taken seriously just by suggesting they've learned something meaningful. After noting that Joe Scarborough and Steven Smith, the loudmouthed know-noting ESPN gasbag, are saying some supportive things about Trump and offering some criticisms to the Democrats, Scary discusses Bret Stephens' Strange New Respect for MAGA.
He's just getting this now? That's why he works for the NYT and you don't -- the important thing isn't getting it right. The important thing is getting it right at just the right time, when the leftwing lunatics all media caters to finally starts to realize they've been hoodwinked. The key is to jump out right in front of the parade after the parade has begun marching and pretend that you're leading the parade. Stephens concluded by pledging to "enter the new year by wishing the new administration well, by giving some of Trump's cabinet picks the benefit of the doubt, by dropping the lurid historical comparisons to past dictators, by not sounding paranoid about the ever-looming end of democracy, by hoping for the best and knowing that we need to fight the wrongs that are real and not merely what we fear, that whatever happens, this too shall pass." Cenk Uguyr (or whatever) is a leftist who's suddenly courting MAGA:
