For context, the author is one of the more influential members of the Federalist Society, the right-wing judicial takeover group. If you’ve lost him, you’ve lost a huge chunk of people who have historically funded the Republican party patronage machine.

It’s too late. This is just a small monster finally grown scared of the big monster he helped create. He’ll be shot in the street by the very people his ideologically driven program made, and he will die with a Pikachu face like the rest forced to face the abomination they’ve unleashed.
One thing has always been true of fascist states every time they’ve manifested. They eat their own. In their final form, they are without center. And when the society under its thrall finally comes-to, as if from a fever dream, they’re surrounded by the remains of all that was lost. And then, finally, they lament.
There aren’t a lot of conservative judges like this guy left. He testified in front of the January 6 Committee, so Trump lost him a while ago, but his testimony and subsequent public interviews are master classes in what it means to put the country before partisanship. I strongly disagree with his judicial philosophy and his conservatism, and find a lot of his views to be antiquated and part of the problem, but he stood up and spoke out when others didn’t. That should still mean something for a judge, who rarely go public like this.

there never were many conservatives like this judge. trumpers have always been the republican majority as they are now; but they were managed by higher profile conservatives like this judge and that gave republicans the popular palatability they needed to remain politically relevant.
things started to change with the tea party movement and the few remaining respectable conservatives recognized the shift and tried to control it as first publicly evidenced by john mccain’s vice presidential pick with sarah palin; but it’s led to trump and now they’re simply along for the ride as a passenger in their own party.
Polls indicate Trump has overwhelming approval among republicans.
There’s only like 10 of those mythical never-trump moderate respectable republicans, and every single one of them has a job writing editorials for NYT and other liberal media.
Yep, they’re only alienating democrats by trotting these people out. You should go out and show that both parties aren’t the same instead of platforming people that say Kamala will further the goals of the American Empire and won’t get in the way of the further hollowing out of the judiciary.
Dems literally couldn’t have given republicans a bigger gift than abandoning any message of progress or materially improving people’s conditions to chase <10% of the republican base. Republicans are campaigning just by associating the democrats with the policies of the republicans they keep trotting out to represent them. https://xcancel.com/OS26/status/1850299840627921180
I don’t know what ads you’re seeing, but basically every ad I see for Harris is about materially improving people’s lives 😅
“Improvements for people’s lives” is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word “bipartisan”.
Not entirely sure why you’re being downvoted to be honest.
Also not entirely sure I follow exactly what you mean, I think there are a couple ways that comment could be interpreted. But I don’t really see why folks are downvoting you 😅
Sadly, this will change nothing. The information ecosystem is so bifurcated it won’t reach the intended audience. Won’t be covered by Fox, or anyone else, certainly in any kind of unslanted manner.
Sorry bud, you’re not a republican any more… They’ve left you behind because your morals were based on something.
Good, but does anyone voting for Trump regularly read the NYT?
None of this seems to matter, as everyone is in their own little reality bubble now.
Good, but does anyone voting for Trump regularly read
the NYT?“The NYT” part was completely unnecessary
I live in NYC and used to work in the Wall street area.
All the top execs read the Times. There are 8 million people in NY and the Times has about 12 million subscribers.
It’s the daily paper of the 0.01%
Yeah well NY is not a swing state :(
The key comment is his last sentence.
You do realize that there are GOP Congress people from NY state?
Giuliani was the GOP Mayor of NYC.
Too little, too late. The election is next week
As much as I’m not a fan of this guy’s belief system, he has been speaking out against Trump for years now, this is just his latest.
Should’ve been speaking out against all the Republicans before Trump. Republicans like to act like Trump happened in a vacuum. All he is is just the human form of the Republican platform for the past 60 years saying the quiet parts out loud
It’s not too late. You will always remember what you did at this point. If Harris fucks up the economy or takes let’s immigrants in, how much is that to risk vs the alternative?
Trump will fuck up the economy, and will probably encourage vigalante lynchings of anyone whose not nazi enough. they’ll start with the immigrants and when they run out of those go to LGBTQ+, or women or whoever.
The problem they won’t have an answer to, and the reason fascism eventually always fails, is that eventually, you run out of people to hate. there is no one ideologically pure enough; no matter what standard the zealots take.
…or last week, depending on where you live and how you vote.
