Ross Douthat of NYT is impaired

The present view of many liberals seems to be that restrictionists can eventually be steamrolled — that the same ethnic transformations that have made white anxiety acute will eventually bury white-identity politics with sheer multiethnic numbers.

But liberals have been waiting 12 years for that “eventually” to arrive, and instead Trump is president and the illegal immigrants they want to protect are still in limbo. So maybe it would be worth trying to actually negotiate with Stephen Miller, rather than telling Trump that he needs to lock his adviser in a filing cabinet, slap on a “beware of leopard” sign, and hustle out to the Rose Garden to sign whatever Durbin and Graham have hashed out.

That's the absolute nicest thing I can say about him.

Restrictionist? Mr. Douthat, in my world, he's called a FUCKING NEO-NAZI. Or do you not know about Neo-Nazis unless they boldly scrawl it upon their foreheads in glowing white paint?

1. That's putting it mildly

As for the article itself....

2. Ross Douthat is still trying to rationalize the Conservative Catholic alliance with

the racist Evangelicals.

Perhaps conservatism is the problem.

3. Ross Asshat is more like it...........

"Negotiate" with a f&ucking neo-Nazi?? I. Will. Not. Make. Nice. With. Nazis!! Stephen Miller/Muller/Goebbels/Moller can proceed with self-fornication. With a chain saw.

4. 12 years? What kind of perspective is that? Weve been negotiating with them for centuries!

These hateful people are why we had slavery and Jim Crow and a difficult amendment process and an unrepresentative senate and a civil war and the list goes on and on.

We’ve *always* negotiated with them and will continue to do so to the extent that they still have power, because we have to.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t seek to minimize their power and influence at every opportunity.

Haters are on the losing side of history, even if they’re having a dramatic last gasp with Donnie as president.

5. Just imagine for a moment that Obama had appointed Bill Maher

to be the liasson to the religious community and expect them to negotiate with him. I am sure that Douthat would give the same advice. I am just sure of it.
