    George Will seems to agree with you.

    Look at the writings of Republican strategist Steve Schmidt*; he's one, along with George Will, Michael Steele, and an increasing number of other Conservatives who are standing up to Trumpism. And what is the proper response to rise of authoritarianism, neo-Fascism, and xenophobic policy decisions? I don't blame people for directing their rage (and hopefully, their action) towards the current regime.

    *"For months, Steve Schmidt, a longtime Republican strategist, has warned about the degradation of his party, saying the Trump administration is responsible for a “coarsening of this country” and calling the president a “useful idiot” for Russia.

    Now, Mr. Schmidt says he’s done: On Wednesday morning, he renounced his membership in the Republican Party, nearly three decades after joining it, and called for a Democratic wave in the midterm elections this fall."

    So, conservatives are allowed to say negative things about liberals but when liberals do the same we're just whiny interest groups. Got it. If all you took from my post was " I know you are but what about me" you completely missed the point. Maybe you should read George Will's latest column to get an understanding.
