You can bet that the ‘conservative’ staff of The Bulwark were thrilled with radical, leftist Democrats retaking the House and Senate last week. The anti-Trump media group is soaring right now. One only has to see The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell hopping on stage at a Democrat conference to know where its joy and loyalties lie.
Bring on the cringe. (WATCH BOTH)
The cringe level here is unfathomable pic.twitter.com/gx7SO0omEQ

The Bulwark's Sarah Longwell at Democrat conference:

"You may know us, we're the Never Trumpers. At least we were ten years ago. Now we're just kind of libs just like the rest of you."
Yes, we know. pic.twitter.com/ikdUQdUyHU
Never Trumpers? No way!
Don't worry, the Democrats' affinity for The Bulwark is as fake as Longwell's conservatism.
She doesn't realize Democrats don't like her either. She thinks she's in the group. But she isn't.

Now they’re libs? Wow, had us fooled.

"Now"? What does she mean "now"?
— Sweet Willy Rollbar, excitable boy (@vorozab) November 13, 2026
She and The Bulwark staff are useful idiots, nothing more.
Commenters say they were fooled by the ‘conservatives’ who comprise The Bulwark. It’s hard to believe that many of these people once led the GOP.
Say what you will about The Bulwark, but these types went from leading the establishment conservative wing to leading the establishment liberal wing in just a few years.

Yep. Bill Kristol was the de facto leader of the conservative movement for 20 years.

What an insane ideological turnaround--as if William F. Buckley decided to endorse Walter Mondale for president in 1984.
So does the press stop referring to them as “conservatives” now?

No, the press will continue pushing her as a ‘conservative,’ no matter how disingenuous it is.
Posters say NPR has been labeling her incorrectly.
How embarrassing! NPR's chat show "Left, Right & Center" just put Longwell on as the "Right" representative.
— Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) November 13, 2026
Another one of many examples why @NPR should not receive federal funding.
— Breaking Battlegrounds (@Breaking_Battle) November 13, 2026
Her appearances on NPR begin with the host saying “the conservative-leaning Bulwark.” And Longwell never corrects them.
— Rick Delaney (@RickRain04) November 13, 2026
Maybe they meant to say, ‘conservative-demeaning Bulwark.’
Commenters say The Bulwark will experience a reckoning when Trump eventually leaves the White House.
Sarah Longwell says about The Bulwark, "now we're just kind of libs."We know. The truth is she and her colleagues sold out. They started as sincere critics of MAGA, but there was more money in demonizing Republicans and spouting Democrat talking points.

The Bulwark Gang is desperately seeking a foothold in the post-Trump political landscape but the Democrats will toss them out like “a used condom”

I know it’s bad but the second Trump leaves office these Bulwark nerds are looking for jobs.

Their whole identity has been anti-Trump since the beginning. What will they even talk about once he’s gone? Better yet, will they even still exist? Don't count on it.
