Sorry, Michael, but Mr. French adds nothing to the Trump story. He follows the same theory that motivates so many on the left. He is and always has been among those who hate Trump, see only what they want to see and seek comfort in a very smug belief they know what is right and good while the rest of us rubes are simply too stupid to understand reality.

It sounds as if his greatest concern is what he calls cruelty. All he knows of Trump are petty insults and these he says reflect growing cruelty. The left seems to be unable or unwilling to recognize the cruelty of the death of millions of unborn children, the cruelty of teaching white children that they are racists with privilege regardless of how their parents raise them, the cruelty of opening the US Southern border to all comers who are by Biden's men transported to every state in the middle of the night, the cruelty of teaching very young children that they can change their sex, or the cruelty of a President who tells 70,000,000 + of us we are a danger to Democracy.

The cultural transformation that I see happening is the realization that the Marxists have infected our institutions and will soon be rooted out. And I am not alone in hoping that trend is unstoppable.

I guess Mr. French doesn't read the reader comments in his paper, the New York Times. I have spent the past year doing just that (and the year before doing the same with the Washington Post.) I can tell you that those "highly intelligent and highly educated elite" readers are no angels. My conclusion is they would like us to be dead, to not exist and they say it in some very intellectualized but "cruel" ways.

(Having read comments in both Left and Right vehicles, the Right is much funnier!)

I noticed that most of the NYT readers express vitriol towards David French (and any of the other "conservative" writers.) I feel sorry for him because most conservatives that I know would likely express similar vitriolic sentiments.
