If I'm being completely honest, there are only a few people in the Never Trump movement who I really 'miss' looking up to, and Jonah Goldberg is in that group. For years I thought he was, not to be cliché but the cat's meow. He was clever, and funny, and still took the Left apart. I read his books, I watched him on news shows, I followed him on social media ... I was a fan. Was. I'm not sure why he self-destructed the way he did over Trump because I would think someone like him would find a way to use the disagreements he has with the former president to make the movement stronger, but instead he has worked to make us weaker.
The man who wrote, 'Liberal Fascism' seems like he's forgotten who he was.
I have not and I will be honest, I hope he figures out we still need him. Now, I know plenty of you will disagree with me, but at the end of the day our movement would only be stronger with Goldberg in it.
And it's unfortunate he can't figure that out.
Case in point:

It’s a small thing, but I think it’s weird that that Trump cannot pronounce Gavin Newsom’s last name. Every time he puts a “K” sound in it. “Noo-skum.” I don’t think it’s deliberate.

C'mon man. He has to know this is a joke from Trump.
Take Adam Schitt for example ... Trump knows Adam's last name is Schiff but that doesn't stop him from mocking him WITH it.
Mollie Hemingway with the takedown and a new nickname for our Never Trump friends:
I love this tweet so much. It's a small but absolutely perfect example of how NeverTrumpaloos are so consumed with hatred for the orange man that they can't even hear or understand his beyond obvious insult name game. https://t.co/Jmf8IvOsZi

NeverTrumpaloos ... makes them sound like a character group in a Dr. Seuss book.
I love that.
