David French is lukewarm about RW reversal, because the right is too mean right now

Dispatch

What a dork. He clearly doesn't understand the connection between a more active and aggressive right, and finally some victories going our way. None of this would have happened with Mitt Romney or John McCain.

French is the uppity Karen who calls the only plumber in town over to fix the water heater, when the plumber shows up with tattoos, dirty jeans, and tobacco in his lip, she refuses the service because of his style and continues on with no hot water

Two days after Roe has been overturned, I’m far more conflicted than I ever imagined I’d be. Writing in The Atlantic on Friday, I described my attitude as joy in my heart tempered by disquiet in my spirit. Since I wrote that piece, that disquiet has only grown, and I think I know why.

Now Roe is gone. Good. We should rejoice at its demise. 
But that’s not the end of the story. Not by a long shot. The two sides of the great American divide are now staring at each other and asking, “Now what?” The answer from pro-life America should be clear and resounding—the commitment to life carries with it a commitment to love, to care for the most vulnerable members of society, both mother and child.
But life and love are countercultural on too many parts of the right. In a time of hate and death, too many members of pro-life America are contributing to both phenomena. Is that too much to say? Is that too strong? I don’t think so.

The culture of political engagement centers around animosity. Church and family life is being transformed, congregation by congregation, household by household, by argument and division. The Dobbs ruling has landed in the midst of a sick culture, and the pro-life right is helping make it sick.
