    Where to even start? Is it good these people are coming out saying that Trump is bad? Yes. Are these people smart? Do these people care about anything or anyone other than their own limited interests? No. Nice of him to casually mention being against apartheid so we know he’s not “one of the bad ones”. But he is one of the bad ones, he just never thought it’d get THIS bad. He talks about being the party of incremental progress. Who does that actually help? If you think the direction you’re moving in is good, wouldn’t you want to get there as fast as possible? I’m not part of the “move fast and break things mindset”, but how does a slow acceptance of trans rights help anyone but the bigots who feel like any delay is a win? We had to send in the national guard to accompany students attending integrated schools. Should we have done that slower too? Honestly, glad he’s saying Trump is bad, but his inability to come to the conclusion that the problem is with conservatism itself makes me question whether he has ever had anything insightful to say about anything.
