The Washington Post’s Max Boot has been one of the most consistent producers of anti-Trump columns of anybody in the Resistance, but it sounds like Boot’s starting to wonder what it’s all been for:
Max Boot is genuinely beyond parody. pic.twitter.com/AbdQ69sPFS

That is absolutely amazing.
“I’ve written the same column every three days for four years, and I still haven’t overturned the last election!”
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 9, 2019
Quite the take, isn’t it?
Max Boot, who has spent the past four years of his life regurgitating the same column every few days, ponders why his work has yet to nullify the 2016 election. https://t.co/AbSOXqwCKk

Wait this is real?
Come on. This can't be real. This is something I would write as parody. https://t.co/RB8a007tat

It’s real, and it’s spectacular!
No matter how many columns or sound bites I produce, Trump remains in office, acting (as Sharpiegate shows) more erratically than ever. I am left to ask if all my work has made any difference. Chores produce more measurable results. My column: https://t.co/gBumLjXT6V

One person can make a difference, just not when it comes to single-handedly trying to run Trump out of office via newspaper columns and cable news show appearances:

wow just like Anthony Hopkins at the end of elephant man, tearfully wondering "what was it all for?"
just breaks your heart.

Delusions of grandeur met by the reality that nobody cares. Hate to see it.

He remains in office because US Presidential terms are for 4 years. What’s his point?

I think I see the problem now. He actually believes he's persuasive. He's a modern day Don Quixote.

Soft meltdown from snappy fedora guy @MaxBoot
"My journalism", he says
While lamenting his purposeful targeted activism has failed to make a difference https://t.co/9W2nq57VNg

This sounds like something taken out of his diary, not his column.

This is the funniest thing Max Boot has ever written. https://t.co/fNB1IPMuXW

Sadly, that's the case with virtually every non-conservative columnist these days.
Intellectual hackery has replaced merit…as long as it's sufficiently anti Trump or anti conservative.

Someone should tell him:
No, your writing has not made a difference and you should probably give up your column to someone who can actually influence people.

They should also tell him that setting your goal as “changing the president” is lunacy. A better goal is “persuading a few people on a handful of topics.”

Looks like Boot and the Resistance will have to wait until next November for a shot at getting Trump out of office.
