Bill Kristol hasn’t been super-successful at making his #NeverTrump case here at home, but maybe if he gets some help from abroad, he’ll have better luck.
Let’s see if a guy in Central Europe can be of some assistance:
From an email from Central Europe: “It is incredible for me, who grew up in a communist country, to listen to Republicans speak of Trump in an almost identical fashion to how communists spoke in the 1980s. The lies, demagoguery, straw-man arguments, ad hominem attacks…ugh…”

Honestly, the same could be said of how Democrats spoke of Barack Obama. Bill Kristol said just the other day that “we are all Democrats now.” So there’s that.
There’s also the fact that the Democratic Party may very well nominate Bernie Sanders, a bona fide communist sympathizer/apologist who once said he didn’t mind people calling him a communist. But yes, Bill and Central European pal. Do go on about America under Donald Trump is just like the Soviet Union.
I’d be happy to leave the Trump question—or frankly any political issue—to Americans who grew up under communism in Europe. I know these people, because they’re my family. It wouldn’t go your way, Bill. pic.twitter.com/KFpxYn3JzT

I find this kind of angle from Kristol so tiring. Normalizing the contention that the president is a foreign agent and that he and his supporters are traitors to the nation similarly evokes places we don't want to become either. Everyone really needs to just chill out a bit. https://t.co/nzIQMZ1qBN

Chill out … and get a better narrative.
