I did read the whole thing. The piece sure didn't read like it was written by an "American Conservative". Author sounded like he had a distaste for everything not-deepstate\liberal, and was touching the topic out of a need to hedge his bets on the outcome of his looming civil war.
Interesting, I got a total different take on the article. I thought the author did a great job of showing the issues on both sides and why we will NEVER be able to agree.
