While Trump-humpers have wrecked the GOP (see my anti-Trump posts going back to 2015), my issue with the Bulwark is that they attack Russ Douthat (hardly a Trump admirer) and pro-lifers, but not the crop of dangerously totalitarian leftists like AOC and Ihlan Omar who are just as big of a threat to democracy as Trump.
On Facebook, Estase warned other pro-lifers that it would take decades for the pro-life movement to shed Donald Trump's dirt. One man told me that I was mentally ill. Mentally ill or not, Estase could never understand how anyone could see a bully who mocked the disabled as a genuine pro-lifer. Both Pope Francis and Donald Trump are phony pro-lifers. (The difference is that, as an ally of radical environmentalists, Pope Francis is actively working to promote abortion and euthanasia. )
Is The Bulwark writer Jonathan Last so disgusted by pro-Trump Catholics that he has become a Cardinal Bernadin/ Gather Us In Catholic? Although he claims to want to avoid painting with a broad brush, his recent articles have habitually linked conservative Catholics and pro-lifers to Donald Trump. Last week, Last explicitly linked rad-trads with Trumpian authoritarianism. That's not just painting with a broad brush, that's using a paint sprayer!
For his part, Estase says a plague on both Trumpian head-coaching Republicans, and their up-against-the-wall Che Guevara Democratic counterparts. The latter includes Muslim-supremacist Ihlan Omar, who hilariously calls pro-lifers dangerous fundamentalists . (Nothing says moderate secularism like a head scarf.) It also includes Chuck Schumer, who grinned like a ghoul while hearing a description of partial-birth abortion.
