It only slowly dawned on me. But it is clear.
Peggy Noonan is shilling for Donald Trum and tge Republican presidential ticket.
This a sad way for Noonal, a distinguushed columnist with a Republicam background to end her career.
Hilling for a Republican presidential candidate whi is a convicted felon faving numerous additional felony indictments, a man found guilty of sexual battery by a jury in a civil case, a monstrous liar the likes of whom have bot been seen since Adolf Hitler, a misogynist who brags of his sexual abuse, a racist xenophobe who males explicit appeals tomneo-Nazi voters, a vicious liar constantly attacking immigrants, and one of the most despicable men to ever run for the presidency.
He is the lawless leader of an authoritarian movement which has achieved total dominance of the Republican Party and transgormed it into a fascist party which represents one of the greatest threats to American democracy in tge country’s history.
Oh, and the felonies for which he is indicted and will stand trial include conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution and numerios specific acts to achieve that objective.
And now Peggy Noonan is shilling for this monstruous candidare, creating a permission structure for other Republicans with “honorable” backgrounds and records to vote for Trump. Many readers of tge Wall Street Journal, including wealthy and powerful business leaders, are reportedly leaning toward supporting Trump.
Peggy Noonan is givingbthem permission, “moral cover” if you will, for dupporting and voting for Trump.
Personally, I am devastated to see Peggy Noonan shilling for Trump.
She was one of the reasons I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, together with the fact that the Journal seemed willing to criticize Joe Biden and his foreign policy when the New York Times and the zwashington Post seemed disinclined to do so.
In the last several years, the Journal has degenerated into a shrill Republican policy rag. It seems like every article shrilly criticizes the Democrats, while the newspaper’s critical guns are rarely aimed at Republicans.
Peggy Noonan’s column was one of the last reasons I kept reading the Journal.
I just canceled my subscription.
