Charles Blow: Why I have no patience for liberals reaching out to Trump voters

Over the years, compassionate conservatism has had its moments, including being espoused by Jack Kemp and President George W. Bush. That all feels like quaint, retrospective ephemera now.

Compassionate conservatism is dead; Trump and his band of backward-thinking devotees killed it.

Trump is rushing headlong into Muslim bans and mass deportations, wall building and Obamacare dismantling. Indeed, it feels like the campaign promises Trump is keeping have to do with cruelty and those he’s flip-flopping on have to do with character.

For instance, it is now abundantly clear that Trump had no intention whatsoever of draining the swamp in Washington. He is simply restocking it to his liking.

This is why I have no patience for liberal talk of reaching out to Trump voters. There is no more a compromise point with those who accept, promote and defend bigotry, misogyny and xenophobia than there is a designation of “almost pregnant.”

Trump is a cancer on this country and resistance is the remedy. The Trump phenomenon is devoid of compassion, and we must be closed to compromise.

No one need try to convince me otherwise. The effort is futile; my conviction is absolute. This is a culture war in which truth is the weapon, righteousness the flag and passion the fuel.

And liberals spat in their faces and told them to go frick themselves.

Ole Charles is a black man, with a bald, shiny head,

and I don't give a shite 'bout single word he said.

He used to own an old Corona, typed across his knee,

I'd give old Charles my attention, he'd rant all day for me...


Please Bash Don Trump, Charles Blow, Charles Blow.

I got your Soros money, get out your Corona,

People say you are crazy, and those people are no fools,

Cuz Charles Blow is the craziest brother, to ever type the news...

More like Charles Blows.

If you want to peek into the demented mind of a progressive, read the comments section.

Mr. Blow is openly bisexual.

The ol' liberal accusation trifecta.

He should have thrown in Facism for the grand slam.

Lets hope that they begin to lose control on the limits of what they will do to "resist". Once it is clear that they can't protest without using violence, it will be the end for them.

He seems to be articulating the same ethos espoused here, but from a prog POV.

frick Trump voters. They put a child in the White House.

We're better served reaching out to the vast number of people who didn't vote.

Coming from a virulent bigot like you, that's a compliment.
