The thing that disappoints me the most in the conservative movement is how nasty people are to those they've long had cordial relations with all because they disagree these days.
Take John Bolton -- a man who is now being vilified by the same people who used to wait in lines to shake his hand and call their friends to tell them Bolton was coming up on Fox News.
Seeing some of the people who cheered on everything Bolton did now cursing the man is just amazing. What possessed these people to do that — people who used to mock the left as being in an Obama cult of personality?
Or look at the vilification of Jonah Goldberg or David French or others. It is unseemly. And it holds true on the other side as well. I have friends who long championed the Federalist who now only disparage it and wouldn't even speak up today about NBC News/Google.
Maybe it is because I live in Middle Georgia away from so many of the personalities and institutions within the movement, but I just think if I liked someone yesterday and we disagreed today that I will still like them tomorrow even though we disagree.
For a time, so many of the people I know on the right ridiculed the left's ability to eat their own at the slightest hint of weakness or disloyalty. Now the right is doing it.
I can assure you that tomorrow I'm going to disagree with a friend in the conservative movement, but we'll agree on something else. Life is just too short to be that willing to turn on other people.
And you know, you don't have to be friends, but I just don't understand why someone could spend years praising a person and talking kindly about them, but then turning on them and savaging them because of Trump.
We all, every one of us, could use more Jesus and less Trump.
