"Today, Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review (the flagship conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley Jr.), published an article claiming that Donald Trump could win the 2024 election 'on character.'”

This is not the first time that AG Sulzberger's New York Times has allowed itself to used to project ultra-right wing messaging.
Recall this infamous Tom Cotton op-ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/03/opinion/tom-cotton-protests-military.html
And the NYT's subsequent justification following the outrage it generated:

@mastodonmigration Absolutely. The case of Tom Cotton is an excellent one to remind us of here. Tom Cotton, who is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Koch brothers….

@the5thColumnist No, they didn't, unless protocol means literally shoving aside an official who told them they were doing what is not legally permitted.

@dougiec3 I don't think Kristol would be a willing conduit of Lowry's "ideas" to the public, honestly. I have lots of quarrels with him, but think he's sincere in his never-Trump position.

@dougiec3 Yes, for sure.

Are you referring to the NYT that has relentlessly provided a platform for anti-transgender conservatives over the last several years?

I may disagree with Kristol's philosophy, but he has integrity. -

@RobynNuthall I'm glad you found it helpful. It amazes me how social media have made it possible for people around the globe to "discover" and even admire Donald Trump. My Canadian friends, especially those living in the conservative western provinces, tell me something similar is happening there. Much of this is being driven by a furious male backlash, increasingly among younger men, to women's acquisition of rights. Lots of educational work to be done!

@Reallyblue3 It does, indeed. We saw this recently in the riots in the UK.

@the5thColumnist The only real point I can see to the Secret Service detachment is for security reasons. I'm not inclined, too, to keep calling out-of-office presidents by that title.

@Tom_Joad Yes, absolutely. And I'd hope McMaster is aware of that.
