I May Be Wrong, But I Think It's A Mistake To Bash MTG, Boebert, Mace, And Massie

90. We've had this debate before, about NeverTrumpers. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" stuff.

They were absolutely useless. Did not move the electoral needle one jot. But those people, whose goal is to return to the glorious status quo of 2005, did succeed in getting time, attention, and resources diverted from actual liberals and Democrats to themselves.

I do believe in giving rank-and-file Redhats a place to land once the scales start falling from their eyes, but not so much for the people who drove it along, who embraced Trump and are only balking because they, like the NeverTrumpers back in 2016, are simply trying to position themselves for a post-Trump party.

The best I can manage for MTG, Massie, and their ilk is the old adage "if you can''t say something nice, don't say anything at all." Throttling back on condemnation is fine, but praising them is unconscionable.
