George Will - who has been a top conservative author and "public intellectual" for over 40 years - is abandoning the GOP until Trump is gone. This is huge news, since Will is an iconic figure for many American conservatives:
>George Will: GOP has become a 'cult' of Trump
>Conservative columnist and author George Will on Wednesday said that the GOP has become a "cult" of President Trump, attributing the shift to an "absence of ideas."
>"It has become a cult," Will said on MSNBC after being asked whether the Republican Party has become the party of Trump.
>"It has become a cult because of an absence of ideas. Because they have jettisoned the ideas for years, decades, all the 20th century almost. Conservatives said we're for free trade. Trump said, 'By the way, you're not anymore.' And they said, 'OK, we're not for free trade anymore.' Or they pretend to be."
>Will went on to describe what he explored in his new book, "The Conservative Sensibility," which was released Tuesday.
>"What I've done with this book is try to say conservatism has an enormously long and distinguished pedigree of ideas," he said. "It has a momentum into the future given by these ideas. And they did not go away, and they have not been refuted by the 45th president."
Write a book like Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones you old faggot no one knows who you are
Daniel Cook

Jayden Nguyen

Grayson Taylor

You mean hasn't been relevant in twenty years?
Robert Martin
Trump has been a major disappointment, but I actually despise George Will.
Fuck George Will and fuck magazines like the National Review. They have been whistling past the graveyard for decades. They are like a squeaky brake that barely works on the leftist juggernaut that has been subverting this country for decades.
They aren't conservative. What the fuck do they even want to conserve anymore? They are progressive light. There, I said it, people like George Will and the National Review are fundamentally progressives masquerading as "conservatives".
Besides, things have moved so far left, so fast, that conservativism is a vacuous concept at this point. What? Do they want to conserve the progressivism from 10 years ago because today's progressivism is just too radical? Then they do the same thing in another 10 years. They are so fucking useless sometimes I think that they did it on purpose.
At this point if you aren't a reactionary of some type you either don't really want victory over leftism or you are just not paying attention.
Did I mention just how much I hate people like George Will and journals like the National Review?
Juan Cooper
oh look another neocon globalist shill who made a career pretending to be a conservative. 90% of "republicans" in d.c. are just acting to give the masses the appearance of there being an opposition party.
Angel Allen
Conservatism is not Republicanism. Conservatives have almost ruined the party, they can fuck off back to the conservative party. Bunch dick sucking neocon faggots.
Blake Gomez
>legendary = conservative the left wants the right to pay attention to
They did the same gaslighting with McCain, Bill Kristol, David French, Lindsey Graham, and even fucking Dubya.
Owen Morales
You can stfu, Trumps kikeloving is accelerating the actual right into politcal action.
Ian Ramirez
So, he sold out to the globo homos? Imagine my shock.
>HE IS SUCKING ISRAELS DICK IRONICALLY HURRRRRRR FUCKING DURRRRRRR Kill yourself slave, you would make excuses if he bit off your son's foreskin himself.
Hudson Ramirez
Well shadow President Kushner did just get back from the Bilderberg meeting.
>impeach hillary Seriously though, the embassy brought more bad than good to Israel and they don't have a dime of that $38 billion, antisemitism is inherently wrong and so is racial supremacy. That goes for kikes too. There's literally a single Army company worth of troops in Syria or less by now as well.
George Will helped get Ronald Reagan elected. He was Reagan's advisor while Reagan was prepping for his critical October 1980 debate against Jimmy Carter. In fact, some of Reagan's campaign advertisements were taken directly from themes presented in George Will's 1978 book "The Pursuit of Happiness." Will is not just some random jackass; he has a DOCTORATE in political science from Princeton.
Reagan introduced amnesty for millions of illegals, and ran the country according to his horoscope. He never got space lasers, despite talking about them for eight years, so no.
George Will is a faggot and needs to move on to his next life.
Lucas Collins
The American political system isn't a war between left and right to ultimately be "won" or "lost". It's a constantly oscillating back and forth between the two that finds a functional balance. Compromise that "most" can live with is inherent to the system and it's proper function.
Zachary Anderson
>book suppository building
lulz
Nathan Powell
The left is the side showing classic cult behavior. Do Republicans shame people into supporting Trump? Do they ostracize anyone in their movement that has a different opinion on something? Do they threaten unbelievers with violence? Do they argue using pure emotion and declare everyone who's an outsider as some evil buzz word?
The left does all of these things. The right doesn't.
Angel Morales

Jayden Hall
George Will is a long time common sense conservative with thoughtful moderate views on everything. He came up in an era when the moderate left and the moderate right weren't that far from the center, and it was possible for them to talk to each other, respect each other, and work together.
Maybe he just isn't able to grasp that those days are gone, that the media and the universities are utterly dominated by shrieking Marxist postmodern loons, that conservatives-so-called have failed to keep a check on the slide to the left, that moderate liberalism today is the extreme left of yesterday, that the Bill of Rights is at risk from the left, not the right, that now is a time for reaction not conserving.
I know old-time leftists who marched with MLK who still think the racial thing is about a hungry black man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his family and gets locked up for 80 years by a racist justice system. They cannot comprehend that those days are gone and have been replaced by something opposite and worse. Old-time conservatives are probably out of touch in the same way.
Joseph Ramirez
it is not oscillating
it just moves left with each passing year This country has never moved right. If there is any oscillation, it only oscillates between slow and fast acceleration and deceleration but always toward the left.
Conservatives in the US just end up fetishizing the progressivism of an earlier decade and call it conservatism.
Joseph Clark
He's probably just mad that he cant influence the party like he used to.
Oliver Stewart
> angry never Trumper who lost a huge audience and lots of money by trumps populism is still angry. You’re welcome for fixing that for you > sage
Dominic Hughes
If you dont accept trump you dont accept half his base. So of course people are so defensive. Hes like bait. Like sticking your hat around a corner to see if someone shoots it.
Nolan Hernandez
Right because the democrats are a viable alternative. This fuck needs to form a new party or fuck off.
Evan Jackson
Or maybe, it's all just a show, and none of it matters, and politics is a theater to pacify the mob of unwashed slaving pay pigs, or what you said, maybe, who knows?
He was so butthurt when ¡Yeb! lost he wanted the GOP to introduce Superdelegates.
Carter Reed
Fuck conservative surrender fags. These are the kind of weak cucks that put us in this mess. fuck em all.
Levi Russell
>”Free Trade” So he’s a shill for China. Tariffs are what made us an economic powerhouse.
Connor Wilson
More like a cult of Christ-denying Yids.
Leo Murphy
>faggot is gay Shocking, thank you for alerting us to this developmemt OP
Liam Lopez
When I am mentally exhausted, I am more and more inclined to think that it is all some sort of scripted psychodrama with elaborate plots and stagecraft. To what end? I do not know.
"The thing ya gotta know is....everything is showbiz"
"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players"
meh, who knows?
Chase Bailey
Literally who?
Parker Hall
The legendary cuckservative who conserved nothing and allowed the left to be victorize.
This vision of "conservatism" that emerged after 1945 deserves to die a well deserved death. Boomer cuckservative.
Kayden Flores
Basically what he's saying is that he's a leftist who likes to call himself conservative.
Ryder Cooper
George Will is a massive faggot. Fuck him.
Landon Lewis
Anti Reagan George Will doesn't like any conservatives. Who gives a fuck?
Yeah and? Useful retards screaming about jesus until they start to cry about their pensions and need a quick pillow to shut them up.
Nicholas Harris
It isn't just that they are cucks. The level of naivete is almost shocking.
My jaw was agape at the end of this interview about our relationship with China (link below). I always preferred to believe that we just had a poorly thought out strategy. Instead, I found out that our representatives were just absolutely, breathtakingly naive. They went to China fundimentally believing in the progressive agenda of democratic transformation of the globe. They were true, doe-eyed, believers squaring off against wolves.
This is the same modus operandi of "conservatives" like George Will in the US. Fundimentally, they are pushing a progressive agenda and even when they do resist sudden and dramatic moves to the left, they underestimate the enemy, naively assume good faith bargaining, and always end up ceding more than they conserve. They come unarmed to a gunfight every fucking time.
inb4 Mark Levin just watch the interview. For once he manages to shut the fuck up and let his guest talk.
watch it, it is worth your time if you want to find out how we fucked up so badly with China
Gabriel Perry
Boomer Cucks like him are THE reason American voted 45 in. I hope George Will lives long enough to watch Trump 2020, then as he should, fucking DIE already.
David Bennett
stop linking youtube faggot
Liam Lopez
Q is a Jew. Well they are dying off fast enough on their own. Hence Trumps base is dying off.

Owen Roberts
HAPPENING
ITS HAPPENING
Gabriel Martin
I would love to stop linking to youtube but: 1.there is no other sauce for this interview 2.Hiro needs to allow bitchute embedding here
Wyatt Wright
If he refuses to acknowledge that they have lost control and is just passing the blame on trump then he truly is an academic and a douchebag
Daniel Richardson
or vote for a third party or just kill the tyrants
Hudson Nguyen
The cucked boomer faggot that the cucked boomer GOP loved for years. This level of "conservative" selling out unironically shows you exactly how Trump was able to win.
