From time to time I will check out right wing blogs like Redstate.com, just to see what the other side is saying. It’s usually like stepping into the Mirror Universe Start Trek world.

Here at In At The End of The World, we spend time discussing the fate of the Democratic Party and liberalism under either Hillary or Bernie, and the future of those factions of the party. One can only imagine the hand wringing, head banging and soul searching happening on the right.

Fortunately, you don’t have to. Now that Mr. Trump is the Republican nominee for president, a quick scan of Redstate.com shows headlines like:

“It’s Time to Assume We Are All Dead”

“Vichy Republicans Welcome Donald Trump to Paris.”

“I Burned My Delegate Card”

“Never Trump Means Never Trump Ever’

The Restate team opposes Trump because he’s not a conservative, but I have to give them props for opposing Trump because he’s not qualified to be president and is a danger to the republic.

Redstate.com editor Ben Howe was on MSNBC and other networks yesterday calling Trump unqualified for the office and saying it would be better for the country if Hilary were elected, even though she represents everything he opposes in politics.

Erick Erickson, former Redstate.com CEO and one of the most influential conservative voices, has been particularly strong on the issue.  I generally loathe everything the man writes, but he’s been forceful and compelling in making the case against Trump, not on policy differences, but for the sake of the country.

Here’s one of his better articulations of the case:

“Some Republicans may decide it is time to be a team player, but I will put my country before my party and decline to help the voters in this country commit national suicide. For those who lament the loss of the Supreme Court with Hillary Clinton’s now inevitable re-election, I would counter that it is obvious the United States now has far bigger problems than judges.

“That bigger problem begins with Republicans now losing any sense of shame and surrendering to their lesser angels in the name of unity around a man unfit for Presidency.”
