In case you needed a reminder of what Never Trump turned into …
Originally, the movement was about people who did not find Trump to be as conservative as they would like. That being said, once Trump won the primary many of them decided to support the former president because Hillary was the Devil in a bad pantsuit.
Those who continue to hang onto that moniker seem to have turned it into a mean girl’s club, like the account that inspired this kick-a*s thread from @RantyAmyCurtis.
1) Trump is not in charge of anything. He lost the election. I do not want him to run again in 2024 or ever. He can go away.
2) I accepted the results of the 2016 election. From a purely governing standpoint, Trump was not as terrible as I feared.

His policies did not suck.
True story.
She continued:
3) In a two party system, we sometimes have to hold our nose and vote for the less repulsive choice.
4) Biden, in character, is not a good man. He may be *worse* than Trump, as he’s a racist liar who’s done nothing good in his decades in office.

50 years to be exact.
But hey, at least no mean tweets.
5) Pussing grabbing is never cool, but the accusations of sexual harassment get thrown around so much I don’t believe them without evidence. That’s the left’s fault. Also, Tara Reid and Biden’s questionable behavior with women and children, which is often *on video*

BUT THAT’S DIFFERENT.
6) And, at the end of the day, I’ll take the orange asshole who had gas prices down and the shelves stocked and the economy working over the demented old racist who doesn’t know what time of day it is, who abandoned Americans in Afghanistan and now Ukraine.

Ouch.
What Amy said.
7) The people who hated/hate Trump may feel morally superior now that he’s out of office, but Biden is hurting a lot of people with his policies, his broken promises, and the inept mini-fascists who are pulling his strings.
— Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) January 23, 2022
He’s hurting far more people than Trump ever did.
Just sayin’.
8) And, finally, my original point — mocking the “adults” who think the proper response to Russian aggression is a hashtag — had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with what a clusterfuck Biden is.
YOU are the one still obsessed with him.
— Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) January 23, 2022
And that’s really the point.
The only people who are all that obsessed with Trump at this point are those who would follow him to the ends of the Earth AND people still clinging to Never Trump in order to deflect and avoid admitting they’ve subjected this country to an old puppet who has done more damage to the country in his first year than Trump did in all four years of his term combined.
They’d rather pretend they’re still fighting the big mean orange guy than admit they voted for the other guy who is WAY worse.
