National Review editor Rich Lowry claimed that Donald Trump could win the 2024 election “on character” He said that Trump could beat Kamala Harris , not by running on his character but by attacking hers.

The plunge that Lowry and others have taken into the muck of Trumpism is not new, and has origins that are important to consider in the coming months of the 2024 .

Conservative intellectuals who once opposed Trump have been reduced to dressing up equally bizarre arguments as reasonable criticisms against Democrats .

The behavior of the anti-anti-Trumpers continues to be an inexcusable betrayal of the values they once claimed to hold. Stepping outside of years of partisan tribal tribal affiliations comes with professional and social costs.
