This is Peter Hitchens, whose late brother Chris was an atheist who supported the post 9/11 wars and the policies of GWB.
Peter is a practicing Christian who points to Donald Trump's coarse comments and actions as not befitting high moral standards, but he also expresses his disdain for intolerant liberal elites who created the atmosphere for the "Trump Triumph".
He also expresses fear that if Trump does not deliver leadership he considers worse will emerge in this country.
The mob that is rioting across this country - they are Soros people, not Trump's people. His people don't riot. They believe in private property - and in guns to defend it.
Vicious anti-Trump article.
“He also expresses fear that if Trump does not deliver leadership he considers worse will emerge in this country.”
Obama has never delivered leadership and look what we have. Hitchens can worry about a lot of things with Trump but lack of leadership is not one of them.
Can somebody tell me when Great Britain became the 51st State??? Puerto Rico has never had this many mouthy citizens!
Mr. Hitchens is not describing the people who voted for Mr. Trump. He’s actually describing those in Occupy Wall Street, Black Leves Matter, Acorn and other leftist organizations.
IMHO
Doubt it.
Strange... Hitchens didn’t once mentioned the bought and sold journalists. How convenient. The ease at which a majority of the people can be controlled thru left wing, propaganda spewing journalists and online giants such as FB and Google. They control what people see, think and believe. Don’t forget to toss in fifty years of liberal indoctrination in our education system. Sets our country up for some pretty big philosophical differences. The battle is just beginning.
If Trump fails, his supporters could well stay home in 2024 out of frustration, giving us President Warren, the first Native American president. If Trump succeeds, history suggests that his supporters are also likely to stay home in 2024 under the assumption that they have put government back in its place, again giving us President Warren (President Chelsea???).
It is important for President Trump to get as much as possible done in the first 100 days and then in the remainder of the first year, before election season starts for Congress. It is even more important for him to make sure that the changes are structural. Eliminate EPA. Eliminate the Department of Education. Eliminate the Department of Energy. Eliminate subsidies from NPR/PBS funding to crony capitalism. Don’t just cut; take those things to zero and remove them from the budget. Completely repeal federal restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms. Require the same state respect for guns and concealed carry permits that are legal in any state that the left required for what they call gay “marriages”.

Peter, you ignorant slut!
Outside of the USA, there is no such thing as a “free world”.
“And this campaign has done so much damage to the USA, to its tolerance, to respect for the rule of law, to civility, that there is no telling where this may stop.”
To the contrary, Trump spent much time talking about the rule of law. Trump is civil to civil people and has a record of tolerance.
This Brit has not liberated himself from the Liberal mindset he criticizes as much as he thinks.
This is what liberal hand-wringing looks like.
Christopher Hitchens is dead?
Hm. I didn’t know that.
I wonder if he is still an atheist...
These crumbs are begging for a National Front Party.
