Salon: Conservative Tom Nichols on leaving the GOP: “The Republican Party is not capable of healing itself” - Author and lifelong conservative offers a midterm warning: “Donald Trump saved the Democrats from themselves” by Chauncey DeVega

But I think the people in the conservative blogosphere, media and others who are the enablers, the shields and professional "Trumpsplainers," are saying things they must know to be false.

They know them to be untruths. They know they are advocating for things they’ve spent their whole lives advocating against until now. Those are the people I have a harder time with. A small number of Trumpsplainers may really be converts. But as a group Trump's defenders have made decisions that ultimately are between them and their consciences.
