Last week, Bill Kristol joined his Bulwark bro Charlie Sykes in lamenting the “political exhaustion” that comes with being “trapped in a doom loop of bullsh*t with trolls” and grifters.
Must read from @SykesCharlie.
"The world is too much with us, but the real problem is that it is so dumb, so infused with mind-numbing bad faith…endless assaults on the public mind, with the ever-escalating goal of inciting, inflaming, and grifting."https://t.co/gkFo6ZBAQp

"Let’s face it, the central problem of our times may not be incipient fascism, as much as it is our collective political, and cultural exhaustion. (Of course they are not unrelated, but I’ll get to that later.)"

Meanwhile, every time Bill Kristol tweets, we feel like we’re the ones stuck in the doom loop of bullsh*t.
That also goes for the things he retweets, like this:

How embarrassing.
Seriously, Bill thinks that’s a good tweet.
Of course Kristol retweeted this cringe. pic.twitter.com/L4O341W0Lx

Of course he did. Because he has no shame. Just an unrelenting desire to remind everyone how (self-)righteous he is.
Wait til Kristol hears their thoughts on President Obama. https://t.co/uBWvCSMT7t

That could, in fact, be pretty awkward.
A few slaveowners in there, no?

A few, yes.
Well, Trump owned no slaves.

It’s true.
Kristol’s hatred for Trump has made him insane.

I think it just showcased it.

It was always there. Kristol just needed the right person to nudge it out of him. Turns out that person was Donald Trump.
There were two paths to take in opposing Trump from the Right. One was to make conservative arguments. The other was to become a deranged lunatic. Kristol choose poorly.

Choosing poorly is kinda Bill’s thing.
