I spoke to a hostile audience for the sake of every person who has watched this spectacle of mendacity in disbelief and misery for the past two years...
For traditional conservatives, the past two years have felt like a Twilight Zone episode. Politicians, activists and intellectuals have succumbed with numbing regularity, betraying every principle they once claimed to uphold.
It's amazing how few conservatives have the fundamental decency to speak out this way.

The truth shall set you free.
Problem is the truth is more often than not lost in the quest for power.

Thing is, she’s speaking out in the facts-based, real journalism, NYT. The few Trumpies who actually read don’t read the Times, so her message will be lost in the fake conservative noise. Will Limblow or InsHannity of Fox “News” give her fair time? Highly unlikely, except to lie about her message.

Yep, with her comments, she will now be relegated to RINO status, something Trumpkins dislike even more than Democrats. They're viewed as traitors to the Trumpist cause, while they embrace a French Fascist (Le Pen).

Speaking of disillusioned conservatives, the esteemed (former) conservative Max Boot says:
Being conservative used to be central to my identity. But now, frankly, I don’t give a damn. I prefer to think of myself as a classical liberal, because “conservative” has become practically synonymous with “Trump lackey.”
