There’s so much you and the loony left don’t get about everything Bret. You’ve become irrelevant and a thing of the past.

NYT columnist throws in towel on 'Never Trump' label: We 'never quite got the point' of the MAGA movement​

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens appears to be giving up on the "Never Trump" identity he embraced during the first Trump era, realizing that he and his media colleagues missed the mark following the 2024 election.

"It’s been more than nine years since I first denounced Donald Trump as a ‘loudmouth vulgarian appealing to quieter vulgarians.’ I’ve called myself a Never Trump conservative ever since, even when I agreed with his policies from time to time. I also opposed him throughout his run this year," Stephens began his column, "Done With Never Trump," Tuesday.

"Could his second term be as bad as his most fervent critics fear? Yes. Is it time to drop the heavy moralizing and incessant doomsaying that typified so much of the Never Trump movement — and that rendered it politically impotent and frequently obtuse? Yes, please," he conceded.

"It wasn’t that we’d forgotten Clinton’s scandals or were ignorant of the allegations about the Bidens. It’s that we thought Trump degraded the values that conservatives were supposed to stand for. We also thought that Trump represented a form of illiberalism that was antithetical to our ‘free people, free markets, free world’ brand of conservatism and that was bound to take the Republican Party down a dark road," Stephens wrote.

"In this we weren’t wrong: There’s plenty to dislike and fear about Trump from a traditionally conservative standpoint. But Never Trumpers also overstated our case and, in doing so, defeated our purpose."

Your comments reek of arrogance and stupidity Bret. You buffoons on the left forget everything when it comes to the Presidents you vote for while you promote a glaring double standard.

You have never been right. But I get it, the last four years are so obviously embarrassing for you brainless media types you have to attempt to now walk things back.

It hurts when a fellow conservative disagrees?

Cope.

Bret isn't conservative you brainless halfwit.

Cope.

I sure wish you could. But crying, stomping your tiny feet, pounding your tiny insignificant fists on the table and trolling like a fool seem to be the only tools in your toolbox.

Still don't.
