Rod Dreher says Dennis Prager calls NeverTrumpers "prissy" and "self-involved", and takes it personally

Prager also makes the shopworn “Georgetown cocktail party” criticisms, accusing Never-Trumpers of being too prissy and self-involved to embrace Trump . . ..


But Prager never says that, here. Which tells you a lot about Rod Dreher.

In fact, Prager doesn't name names, but Dreher calls Prager's arguments "farcical" and "delusional" in addition to being "shopworn", here.

Take that, you big nasty man!

On top of feeling a little unmanned by the big Jewish conservative, Dreher never mentions one of those arguments, that NeverTrumpers have "a utopian streak".

Which isn't surprising because that's a main recurring theme in the criticisms of Dreher's Benedict Option.

So, why aren't anti-Trump conservatives jumping for joy?

I have come to believe that many conservatives possess what I once thought was a left-wing monopoly — a utopian streak. Trump is too far from their ideal leader to be able to support him.

Best not to address it while you're otherwise busy misrepresenting your enemy.
