Stephen Miller and Jim Jordan give us a taste of the Truly Trumpian Man

The elevation of Trump to the presidency has given prominence to a certain kind of follower and permission for a certain set of social values. Bolsheviks once talked of creating the New Socialist Man. Miller and Jordan are giving us a taste of the Truly Trumpian Man — guided by bigotry, seized by conspiracy theories, dismissive of facts and truth, indifferent to ethics, contemptuous of institutional norms and ruthlessly dedicated to the success of a demagogue.

Every day of Trump’s term continues the moral deconstruction of the Republican Party and brings the further debasement of American politics.

The writer is an evangelical Christian, lifelong Republican and onetime chief speechwriter to former President George W. Bush, btw.

1. Evangelical Christian. Good! Still, he can be wrong.
2. Lifelong Republican. Okay, chances of wrongness sharply increase.
3. Chief speechwriter to GWB. Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

I read the piece and he sounds like the typical Beltway Never Trumper, so that résumé won’t do. Next applicant!

There is a new god now, people need to decide which one to follow.

IOW you are only interested in folks who keep their lips pressed to Trump's [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]?

I liked that.

No, you promoted the writers bonafides and I said Nyet! based on his piece.

It would have truly been wonderful to have not needed to promote him that way. Unfortunately around here it's necessary on account of the folks who will instinctively screech that somebody is a liberal, blah blah blah if he's not got his toes on the Trump party line. It's exasperating as all get out. Of course I should have also anticipated you'd deliver exactly what you did. Within seconds of the thread going up.

If I ask to have this thread deleted start fresh, don't put that disclaimer up there's no doubt in my mind that somebody will immediately bash him without bothering to read a word he wrote.

Edited out that part with the hope that maybe, just maybe somebody will read what he wrote, focus on that, not focus on attacking him with the usual load.

Well in 2019 anything that isn't sycophantic to Donald Trump is wrong according to some folks, lol.

I DID read what he wrote, the whole thing (I was on break at work).

Look at this bombast:

"Miller and Jordan are giving us a taste of the Truly Trumpian Man — guided by bigotry, seized by conspiracy theories, dismissive of facts and truth, indifferent to ethics, contemptuous of institutional norms and ruthlessly dedicated to the success of a demagogue."

Okay, how do you think a "demagogue" supporter is going to read that and react? You want calm reflection and pondering of this guy's piece? You don’t practice that on the opposition's posts.

Unfortunately, it wasn't bombastic, on account of the documented evidence supporting the statement.

Oh, you reacted 100% as I expected you to, lmbo.
