Well this pushed me over the edge. I've just unfollowed Tom Nichols. Quite a strange fellow anyway.

He’s one of the very few NeverTrumpers I actually think is acting in good faith, but everything he advises reminds me of those studies about how people think they won by being better players even after being told a game was rigged in their favor.

Oh and he is on a ton of blocklists too, for transphobia among other things. So... He has no good faith.

Yup, checked his profile to see what else he'd said. Making statements like these but not allowing comments on them? Blockity block block.

Again tho, Republicans have always had awful policies. Nevertrumper, sure, but I am sure he still wants less regulations, lower taxes for the rich and most likely also heavily in favor of more cops and more privatization across the board.

Some clarification: I think he genuinely believes Trump is bad and wants to defeat him, whereas I think most of the Lincoln Project set is looking to diversify their grift and/or pull the Democratic Party to the right. This is different from saying he’s not bad for other reasons!
