We didn’t suspect that pieces like these were going to become a trend, but now that they have, we’re not at all surprised.
After all, there are still plenty of Republicans who consider themselves #NeverTrump, and there are midterms coming up, so what’s a member of the GOP who doesn’t back the president supposed to do?
Put country over party, of course … which somehow always equates to voting Democrat.
This was Max Boot’s take in The Washington Post Monday:
Republicans critical of Trump should be urging voters to support Dems, because that is the only way to rein in a president who threatens the rule of law. But precious few do so, because of a combo of self-delusion & self-interest. Me in @PostOpinions: https://t.co/aotMxbB1vK

Sorry, can someone remind me if @MaxBoot complained about Barack Obama's serial violations of the rule of law and his opposition to the Constitution as written? Because it is well documented. https://t.co/bYR0es7hie

That's right-vote for today's Democrats, because they are ever-so attentive to maintaining strict Constitutional order. https://t.co/2ulaL2A98T

Max: "Republicans critical of Trump should be urging voters to support Dems, because that's the only way to rein in a president who threatens the rule of law"
The same democrats thumbing their nose at federal immigration law?
Got it, Dems are the 'rule of law party' now.

Not a chance! They should keep holding his feet to the fire, constitutionally.
Dems today have no interest in keeping their oath. https://t.co/S8xVA71uBX

Absent from this piece is any explanation of how Trump threatens the rule of law any more than some of his predecessors did. Kind of an important part of the argument, isn't it? https://t.co/oJRg8R9FHd

"I don't support some of the things Trump is doing."
"Vote for Democrats!"

If Boot’s argument didn’t convince the #NeverTrump crowd to side with the Democrats to protect the rule of law, maybe a follow-up Tuesday at Vox would do it. This time it was David Roberts’ turn to convince Republicans to vote Democrat:
There is no anti-Trump faction of the GOP. If Never Trumpers believe he is a threat to American democracy, they should vote for Democrats, writes @drvox. https://t.co/66lqGsAQhm

We’re sensing a pattern here:
So odd that leftist fringe Vox is calling for the exact same thing at the exact same time Max Boot is. Weird ? https://t.co/nxx1G2KZH3

Every week, even twice a week, a new, No True Scotsman, concern-trolling piece comes out BEGGING Trump-unhappy GOP/Conservatives to vote for Democrats.
