A conservative movement dedicated to the freedom of the individual must allow for disagreements. That’s what individuals do: they disagree. Hate-filled personal attacks by Trump-supporting right-wingers on those rightists who cannot abide the president take no stock of the one thing most essential to individual identity: not, as the left supposes, race or sexuality or even gender, but conscience. We have to allow good conservative men and women to speak their piece without harassment.
That said, as the midterms approach, it seems like the proper time to remind those Never Trumpers still among us of two salient facts. One, there are only two effective political parties in America. And two, one of those parties now presents a legitimate threat to the American idea.
