Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
While it was immensely satisfying to watch the utter humiliation of the TRUMP TREASON COLLUSION RUSSIANS! liberals, that joy paled in comparison to the schadenfreude that came from watching the crestfallen Never Trump bitter-enders as they saw all their dreams die.
Donald Trump is not going to be impeached; heck, it looks like he’s going to be reelected. And the Fredocon losers who went all in on opposing him because “Oh well I never!” are flat busted.
Now, it’s not really fair to imply that the Never Trumpers hate Trump solely because he’s vulgar and crude – or, as normal people see it, unwilling to meekly take the guff the Never Trumpers’ country club class pals dish out like a proper gentleman should. They do find him aesthetically displeasing, but it also gnaws at them because every time he stands up to the garbage Democrats, the garbage press, or the garbage jerks and pervs of Hollywood, his refusal to knuckle-under reminds Team Fail that they don’t have the stones to do the same. He shames their cowardly weakness.
It’s clear, in retrospect, that George W. Bush’s supine acceptance of the abuse the elite heaped upon him was not because he was too classy and too decent to respond in kind. Since Obama left office and he rediscovered his vocal cords, Bush has had zero problem trashing Trump and Trump supporters who, like many of us, stood by Bush in the ’00s while Bush was treading water in a sea of mediocrity. No, it’s clear that W was afraid to fight back against fellow members of the ruling class. He cared about being part of the club. Not The Donald. Trump, by fighting, demonstrates that the establishment GOPers are weak. And it eats at them.
But besides providing a manly contrast to their own gimp-like submission to the leftist establishment, Trump infuriates the Never Trumpers for another reason. He’s kicked them out of their comfy sinecures. One of Trump’s magical powers is to make his enemies reveal their own grift complicity, and boy, have they ever. As a result, while once the mandarins of Conservative, Inc., traded on their insider influence and privilege, under Trump they are outsiders. Copies of the Weekly Standard used to be all over the Bush White House. Now, if its inept crew had not slammed it into an iceberg, you would be lucky to find a few pages at the bottom of Barron’s pet iguana’s cage.
Bill Kristol, Max Boot, and all the rest are nobodies, relegated to occasionally joining CNN panels and fighting with Ana Navarro over the doughnuts in the green room. Where’s Bob Corker now? Jeff Flake hasn’t even got an MSNBC gig; I think last week he was the dude who offered to supersize my order.
They are reduced to occasionally popping up on Twitter to inspire a session of Weakheart Whack-A-Mole from actual conservatives. Just look at Senator for Some Reason Mitt Romney. The guy I am sorry I voted for in 2012 is always eager to say something prissy about the president to try to please the same people who, back in 2012, accused him of being a racist and giving a lady cancer. For his obedience, he gets a tasty treat and a pat on the head, like the good doggie he is. But everyone knows that if the elite ever thought that the Distinguished Gentleman From Whatever State He Thinks He Can Get Elected In Next might actually pose a threat to the status quo, he’d be figuratively caged up and driven to Canada on the roof.
So, what is the future of the Never Trump brand of failure-phile cons, since they do not have one in our party – at least not in the short-term? Except for the loudest and dumbest among them, they will lie low and bide their time. Being Never Trump means never giving up the notion that someday the unwashed masses of the conservative base will someday come to their senses, grow tired of winning, and beg the same coterie of feckless failures, whose dismal inability to conserve anything led to the base selecting Donald Trump in the first place, to return to power.
On Capitol Hill and in the agencies and think tanks, there are secret Never Trumpers hoping to wait out this madness, counting the days until some squishy Jeb!-ish nominee named something like Marco will usher in a bright and beautiful new era of efficiently managed decline. Because that’s what they do – slow down the inevitable victory of the progressives while maximizing their own power and privilege. Trump’s refusal to be satisfied with merely losing slower infuriates them. They not only get tired of all the winning – they actively hate all the winning.
So, we must remain vigilant. We must strike ruthlessly when we detect these weak and defeatist tendencies in our conservative leaders, both inside politics and in the conservative media. Never Trump is really Never Win. To the extent that “Trumpism” means fighting for victory, being woke to the fact that the establishment is garbage, and not giving a damn what our much-worse betters think, we must be Always Trump.
Want to see what America would be like if the Never Trump losers had succeeded in handing our country over to Hillary just because Trump is so mean? Check out my action-packed (and occasionally hilarious) novels about the United States split into red and blue, People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. Spoiler: It’s not pretty, but the books are great reads! And no less than the Cap’n Stubbing of the sinking cruise ship SS True Conservatism™ hailed them as “appalling,” so you know they’re good. Ahoy!

My guess is “they” (DS) will try to crash the economy.
It was worth the article read, just to come across this little gem:
“Jeff Flake hasn’t even got an MSNBC gig; I think last week he was the dude who offered to supersize my order.”
LMAO!
Humor and politics as always a great mix; especially if your material includes the double down to infinity lamestream press or the never trumpers who are so full of themselves they reek of elite entitlement to rule over the dirt people.
Lots of tension and uncertainty in the world right now, sometimes the only way I keep my sanity these days are these lit bits of humor to lighten an otherwise depressing outlook on what the future holds.
I wish Romney would read this. He is so pathetic.
After he banjaxed Bath House in their first debate, it was like Romney thought “oh shit, if I keep this up I may win.” Or perhaps it was the fredocon mantra at work, “if I appear more competent than the Commieass failure/minority I am running against, I will not have been the bigger man that only squish RINO’s are more concerned about than their country.”
Romney disgusts me. There are days you wish you could catch all these assholes in one place and spray them with slurry from a hog lot.
HR you are a truly horrible person . Fermented hog shit is the next thing to decomposing human bodies. An inspirational idea re: Romney.
Slurry? Why not the M134 minigun? That sprays too. Lots. Yuge sprays.
I would much more enjoy seeing these silk undies pantywaists wallowing in slurry. Imagine the horror the 1%er would experience in the hour he or she is forced to stand around plastered with fermented hog waste. The mini-gun eliminates all that torture.
As for shooting these clowns, I couldn’t get behind that unless there is no hog slurry available, and only if we could get our hands on something like an M61-A1 20mm Vulcan cannon loaded with exploding rounds.
Perhaps a slurry loaded Super Scooper fire fighting plane dumping on a 1%er venue would be the ultimate. Works for the Tlaib and Omar folks too as it is from “unclean” hogs.
They should just come out of the closet, change party affiliations, and become Democrats. Just like that piece of garbage Mitt Romney. Show everyone what they truly are.
Corporate republicans and libtards do what they always do. Throw a screaming shitfit. Drink a double soy latte machiatto . Deny the truth, fabricate a reality and then call a conservative a racist for not buying into their hateful fantasies.
This^^^^
Don’t forget the other excuse to never fight or tell the truth about the Progs. “That’s not who we are.” You hear about being triggered? That fuqueing line about “who we are” does it for me in spades.
I can’t say for sure what will happen in the future. However, I do know that we are not going to forget what has been exposed or ‘un-know’ what we now know about the establishment.
Just the same as: we are not going to relive the 1950’s or any other time period.
The future belongs to those who are adaptable and don’t live in the past.
Hopefully . . . RUN!
But more likely:
Because there will be an “After Trump” era, in what is probably an excruciating amount of time from now. So I doubt that they abandon, anytime soon, their plans for our collective bloodletting.
Besides which, aside from the Mueller stuff, I’m pretty sure a lot of other subversive acts/actions/activities are still right on schedule.
Careers have been built on the ‘hate Trump’ meme and that’s not going away anytime soon. What would she-boon Maxine Waters do without him? The democrats have Impeach Trump as their most important party plank, that and no guns and green energy, infanticide and Satanism.
True, BUT there are really only three prongs: ‘Hate Trump, Take Guns, Hug Trees’ cuz, except to maybe the hardest leftish die-hard Bolshe-tards, ‘Hail Satan’ and ‘Kill Babies’ is a hard sell. WE understand their platform, but they can’t, er, uhm, put it THAT way.
The infanticide is called women’s choice, like a woman can just decide to kill her baby after it’s born, well for whatever. Hail Satan happens alongside the infanticide.
Blah blah blah…yackity smackity….
This is why many of us “never trumpers” don’t like the man…or any other of the previous 2 decades if posers we’ve had as Presidents!
He’s far from perfect and i’m in a holding pattern waiting to see what devlops with Assange. He did pardon the folks from the Oregon standoff , doubt Hillary would’ve. On the subject of Hillary, would you rather a murderous psychopathic grifter who left four to die in Benghazi and then lied about it, someone who sold American Unranium to Russia, someone who destroyed 33,000 emails from a server she kept in her bathroom, someone who laughed about the sodomizing and murder of another human, someone who conspired with Obama to spy on Trump and then lie about it, Someone who said’ what difference does it make’ regarding the death of four American ( I can go on) or Trump?
That is why we never trust a Never Trumper.
Mygirl and the rest of the Trump apologists
Im so tired of hearing that bullshit rhetoric, the lesser of two evils and yada yada yada…
I wonder if Hitlery hadn’t stolen the Democratic primaries from Bernie if we wouldn’t be having this conversation with Bernie fans saying well at least he is better than Hillary and Trump…
These asinine arguments hold no value in my book!
It’s all kabuki theater, as my original comment stated, we have had decades of posers as Presidents ….you can’t seriously tell me that daddy spook Bush, Slickwilly, Dubya, Hopey Changey and now Trump is the BEST America can offer?! It’s all rigged, the tables are tilted and you fucking maroons are suffering from Stockholm syndrome, making excuses for your abusers, defending them and calling the people who say the emperor wears no clothes , the enemy!
Get the fuck outta here with that shit!!!
Plato..
Trumpholm Syndrome.
Reminds me of that song “He’s an old Hippy and he don’t know what to do, Should he keep on with the old or should he take up with the new”. Or a drunk who is scared shitless of life without a drink until he get thrown into detox and comes out wondering why he waited so long to enjoy life.
You sound like your getting a little tired of the willful ignorance. Me, when I get back to montana, Fuck these trump loving dimwitts. Summer in the Rockies is too good to waste on them.
Flea,
I like How you put that, and yes I am more than tired of having the same conversation over and over again even with a plethora of truth bombs to paint a more accurate portrait of the man and the system we live in.
It’s a bit discouraging and more than a little depressing when one realizes that good intentioned, decent people still believe their is hope that the system can be reigned in and that our President or the next or the next will be the guy or gal to save out country…
Most fail to realize that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, headquartered in Washington D.C. is a corporation owned by the Crown.
They think they have a Republic and their votes matter and that things are going to get better…
Truly delusional.
Your summer plans sound relaxing and invigorating! I need to get to nature soon too!
I have been putting it off but I need a vacation, hopefully to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas in the coming months.
Plato..
I never bring anything electronic. The sound of pure silence in mid afternoon is beautiful. It’s a bit unnerving at night when the only sound is a bear breathing right on the other side of the tent wall.
You know how to tell if your in black bear or grizzly bear country. Black bear scat has berry seeds in it, Grizzly scat has pepper spray, whistles and birkenstock sandals in it.
Black bears act like they owe you money. Grizzlies act like You owe Them money.
I’d probably attract the grizzly and repel the black bear with my snoring…
I’ve had many a jokes made about my music when I sleep, camping outdoors with others hahaha
Ok, why don’t you get out there and get us some decent candidates. I was all for Ron Paul and look where that went.
Notmygirlsheshiding,
Sorry to hear that mygirl is hiding, when she comes outta the cry closet let us know.
I don’t think you fully comprehend my above rant…the candidates are just puppets for the owners of this country aka corporation. They are CEOs….that would be like me giving a fuck who the CEO of Amazon or Tesla is which I don’t!
Why? Because I’m not a shareholder or on the board of directors of those companies? Why? Because I’m a serf! The difference between me and many others on this site is apparently they haven’t come to terms with their serfdom and I have.
It doesn’t matter who the CEO is for the Corporate United States of America because the UCC system that runs the planet dictates what happens and our corporate overlords will NEVER be forced to relinquish their power that they exert from behind their curtains and fortresses of mockingbird presstititutes, judicial interpretation, bought and paid for courts, police, military brass and on and on and on.
Does this mean I have given up?! Most certainly Not! Just changed tactics and focused on what’s truly important, our souls!
“What Do The Never Trump Losers Do Now?”
They rebrand as as Paleo-Neocon-Trotskyites, change their shapes a bit, and carry on as if nothing had ever happened?
Hopefully they just go away, or face the slurry.
“What Do The Never Trump Losers Do Now?”
Wake me up when the answer to the above becomes a loudly resounding, “Start Dying!”.
