("A Democrat and a Republican, on the Choices We Face")
The letter of Mr McClure crystallizes the "don't lecture me" attitude that seems to be pervasive among all those who support Mr. Trump.
Don't bore me with your contentions that we are
anti-intellectual, anti-fact oriented. Don't point out the foibles and
inadequacies, the contradictions and outright lies, the lack of
fundamental knowledge or intellectual curiosity of Mr. Trump.
We know all of this, Mr. McClure seems to be saying. But we
can forgive these shortcomings because Mr. Trump does not adhere to the
dictates of political correctness. And the Lord will guide Mr. Trump's
hand in times of trouble.
And you wonder why we "the Establishment" can't
convince those in Mr. Trump's camp of their folly. To quote Simon and
Garfunkel, Mr. McClure is hearing without listening.
