This tweet is from the President of the United States. What a shameful time to be alive.
Good to know our US President thinks many of my friends and I are human scum.

Welcome to the club!
I'd rather be on this side than the alternative.
Sure, but I'm still really skeptical of any sort of alliance. Republicans in the aggregate still love Donald Trump and Donald Trump's Republican party. When the exit polls come out and prove me wrong, I'll happily eat crow, but I still think that the Never Trump position is business-as-usual (without so many insulting, bad words).

Are you a Pats fan?
YOU MEAN THE GREATRIOTS? THA FAHQUIN GREATEST TEAM EVAH!
I was thinking of the NEDs of the world.
There are multiple categories of Never Trumpers (and some changed course pretty quickly once they realized that the grift isn't effective that way.) I agree that the number willing to completely buck the party are small. I'm not looking to team up with Bret Stephens or anything.
And can we all just agree to not call each other human scum? What is dehumanization...like the 4th stage of mass genocide?
I personally do not want to live in a country where we feel it is acceptable to call anyone human scum.
Trump's "deplorable" moment
I agree. I just wanted to illuminate the fact that what upset you about the tweet was labeling Never Trumpers as human scum despite the fact that Republicans have been using hurling similar invectives at "liberals" for the last decade. It certainly hurts when it happens to you, but the entire mainstream Republican program has been oriented towards dehumanizing "the other side" (liberals, progressives, takers, free riders, single family households, welfare queens, illegals, etc.), whoever is on it at a given time. The only way to transcend the symptoms that gave us Trump (as well as Trumpism itself whenever that idiot leaves office) is to confront these realities and build solidarity instead of reserving our outrage for moments when we're finally targeted. "Then they came for me and there was nobody left to speak for me" and whatnot.
That's why I thought it was curious that NED was lumping himself in with those folks. I respect NED, but I really don't think that there are that many Republicans (and former Republicans) who are like him.
