There are plenty of reasons to criticize Donald Trump. Hell, you’ll find a bunch in just the past couple of days. But you know what doesn’t help make the case against Trump? Crap like this from the New York Times’ Bret Stephens:
.@BretStephensNYT: “NeverTrumpers haunt the conservative movement the way Polish or Czech dissident intellectuals such as Czeslaw Milosz and Vaclav Havel haunted that segment of Central European intelligentsia that made its peace with Stalinism.” https://t.co/mbJCy6ne9W

Um, no. Not even close. And you don’t even need to be a Trump supporter to know that Stephens and Boot are full of it on this.

How are they any different from Trump in that regard?
Comparing yourself to a dissident + comparing Trump to Stalin = ZERO credibility

Stephens’ comparison — and Boot’s endorsement of it — is actually offensive. A genuine slap in the faces of those who actually risked their lives to stand up against totalitarianism.
