It feels like the world is growing very strange when you find yourself agreeing with someone who you normally passionately and wholeheartedly disagree with. Such is the case with me suddenly agreeing with neocon activist Bill Kristol.
You remember Bill Kristol, right? No, not the comedian and actor. This is the guy who was a massive supporter of George W. Bush, and who insulted anyone and everyone who disagreed with how wonderful the Iraq war was going to be.
Yeah, that guy.
Back then, I felt that he was a smug elitist, frankly. One of those well-paid talking heads who would support Bush and Cheney come what may, no matter what happened or how obvious it had become that their policies - and especially the war in Iraq - were going terribly.
Frankly, I never could picture myself agreeing with that guy.
And yet, he is one of the fiercest and most relentless opponents of Donald Trump and the whole Mindless MAGA Moron cult. It almost feels surprising that this guy turned so vehemently against the party he used to go to such extraordinary lengths to defend, frankly.
However, he has made some solid points in going against Trump and MAGA. Almost shockingly, I found myself enjoying his wit and agreeing with his pointed attacks against Trump and the fascist movement which has largely taken over politically in this country.
His latest attack - or at least the one which I last paid attention to - went viral. He argues that everything the Trump administration touches turns into a disaster. Which means, essentially, that the Trump administration itself is a disaster for this country.
Frankly, it's difficult to argue with that.
Below is what he posted on X, as well as the link (see below):
Bill Kristol @BillKristol So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
