Washington Post My Twitter blurb used to describe me as a “conservative opinion writer.” Now it reads: “NeverTrump, pro-democracy opinion writer.” Why the change? Let’s be honest: There is no conservative movement or party today. There is a Republican Party thoroughly infused with racism and intellectually corrupted by right-wing nationalism. But there is no party that believes in less or small government (though expect the GOP to hypocritically resume singing that tune as soon as a Democrat steps into the Oval Office). If you say you are a staunch defender of the rule of law, that you are devoted to ending systematic racism, that you are an advocate of legal immigration, that you believe in objective reality (including climate change science) and that you think illiberal regimes such as Russia are our greatest foreign threat, the party of Trump will lash out at you. They will accuse you of Trump derangement syndrome and dub you a “fake” conservative. Well, they have a point. Because conservatives no longer seem to champion any of those positions (or free trade or American international leadership or NATO), it is hard to say I fit in any longer. |

Jennifer Rubin shatters glass ceiling, becomes first woman to win 'Liberal Hack Tournament'. The columnist has become a Twitter celebrity for her latest hot takes on current events, virtually. Jennifer Rubin @JRubinBlogger The racist, angry response on right-wing media to the conviction of George Floyd’s murderer while the rest of the country celebrated the verdict as a victory for racial justice is indicative of the tone-deafness that afflicts the GOP. Jennifer Rubin can’t help who she is. Direct your anger at her to the Washington Post which literally paid her to write a whole op-Ed about why she changed her Twitter bio.
In what is probably the least surprising announcement of the 21st century, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin who has been flying the false flag of “conservative” for a long time has finally revealed the very obvious by writing in her Thursday Washington Post column that she has removed the “conservative” tag from her Twitter profile.
She attempted to explain what we already knew in “Why I dropped ‘conservative’ from my Twitter profile.”

Bowing to a reality that has already existed for many, many years.
Let’s be honest: There is no conservative movement or party today. There is a Republican Party thoroughly infused with racism and intellectually corrupted by right-wing nationalism. But there is no party that believes in less or small government (though expect the GOP to hypocritically resume singing that tune as soon as a Democrat steps into the Oval Office).

Let’s be honest. Jennifer Rubin has for a very long time been no different than your typical TDS hardcore leftist.
For now, the objective remains removal of Trump and obliteration of a party that has grievously betrayed democracy and abandoned simple decency and honesty. Whatever alternative to the toxic waste dump of the Trump GOP arises to replace it may be worth considering — but only if it embodies the most basic American creed (“We the people. . .”) and abandons veneration of authoritarianism.
Rubin is apparently so far gone in the leftist mode that she is beyond seeing the all too obvious cancel culture totalitarianism she has been embracing long before now making it official.
