Strange times make for strange bedfellows. We'd be foolish, even reckless not to join those who are Never Trumpers to do what needs to be done: defeat Trumpism before it defeats us. All of us.
Yes, Schmidt is a conservative, as is Rick Wilson, Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, Evan McMullin and a host of others. They write, they speak out and are part of the resistance to the Trumpster and his sickening sycophants. At the moment, that's all that matters.
Once this nightmare is over, we can all go back to our corners and fight like barn cats over policy and political philosophy. But right now? We're on the same side, fighting the same good fight. Steve Schmidt has spoken eloquently, passionately about the danger of Trump and his fascist underpinnings. As Democrats, we should support and respect that because each and every voice gives us the chance to fight and survive another day as a country, as a people.
Benjamin Wittes, another conservative, wrote an essay several days/weeks ago in which he explicitly stated that Republicans need to be defeated everywhere in November. Right down to dogcatcher. Because it's the only message that will work: we reject all things Trump, all enablers and every excuse the GOP has made. You (Republicans) deserve to be wiped out.
That's a message I fully support.
