Good news, y’all! David French shared his first column with The New York Times.
And it’s EVERYTHING you’d expect …
Ha.
HA ha.
My debut column at The Times
When my tribe is under fire, before I offer a reflexive defense, I should consider an uncomfortable thought: My opponents might be right, my allies might be wrong and justice may require that I change my mind: https://t.co/2GD0cfO3jA

His tribe? What tribe is that, Dave?
From The New York Times:
Before I go further, let me put my own partisan cards on the table. I’m a conservative independent. I left the Republican Party in 2016, not because I abandoned my conservatism but rather because I applied it. A party helmed by Donald Trump no longer reflected either the character or the ideology of the conservatism I believed in, and when push came to shove, I was more conservative than I was Republican.
See? Exactly what you’d expect.
We’re not entirely sure what David expected when he shared it …
Of course, there are plenty of Lefties, Dems, and people claiming to Never-Trump cheering in the comments, but the actual conservatives? Not so much.
That’s literally all you that you write which would lead one to believe that you have a very inflated view of your own virtue and righteousness. Come down off the cross, David.

Only the readers of the largest misinformation rag in the country believe you’re a conservative.

He’s an ‘acceptable’ conservative for the typical New York Times reader.
You know, the self-loathing type.

Not a problem for us. Our opponents are never right. They're evil, insane, and absolutely committed to our enslavement.
It's never been right vs left. It's right vs wrong.

Exactly what “tribe” do you claim? Are you going to honestly put yourself in the left wing camp, or is it just the performative flagellation of the current “out” group for which you’ve become so well known?

KIDDING.
Sorta.
You're so tedious.

Tedious.
Oooh, that’s a good one.
Funny how your discovery of tribal politics always leads you more left.
— Devlin MacGregor (@MacgregorDevlin) February 5, 2023
And that’s ironically very tribal but whatever.
Why not leave the church too? Surely, your pride won’t allow you to be lumped in with “those people” either. Why not leave the USA? We’re so gross! Why not leave civilization? Newsflash:not everyone views their party registration as a primary part of their identity.

Complete surrender is a bold opening gambit. But I guess your willingness to do that is exactly why you got that job in the first place.
