[BLAZE] Rich Lowry bestowed on a recent column this provocative title: "Brace Yourselves: The Left Will Roil the Country Again If Donald Trump Beats Joe Biden." No kidding! For Trump’s enemies on the left, Lowry pointed out, "saving democracy doesn’t mean upholding the rules no matter what and letting the voters decide the election and the fate of the next president. No, it means blocking Trump by any means necessary, regardless of the consequences for the rule of law, democratic politics, or faith in our system of government."
Lowry, who has distinguished himself in recent years as an unabashed Trump-basher, tried to be evenhanded in expressing his disdain. He let it be known, for example, that the left is "understandably alarmed by [Trump’s] conduct after the 2020 election and how he’s branded his political comeback as a revenge tour." Lowry also seemed swayed by Robert Kagan’s accusations in the Washington Post that "Trump has brought the United States to the brink of dictatorship."
How's that National Review doing, asshole? |
