George Conway Mocks Trump Supporters for Believing All of His Dumb Lies in Brutal WaPo Op-Ed

George Conway just published one of the most epic and sweeping takedowns of Donald Trump ever written, and this one isn’t just lodged in some tweet somewhere, this one appears right in the Op-Ed pages of the Washington Post. Moreover, there isn’t a single thing in this column with which one can argue, as every single sentence is linked to something that Trump specifically said.

Indeed, Conway doesn’t even make an argument against anything Trump said. The article’s power springs from simply saying that he “believes” Trump, implying that anyone who could possibly believe this stuff is every bit as insane as the person who made the statement. Trump will want to wail about it and yet what is there to argue?

I believe Joe Biden is “Sleepy” and “weak.” I believe Biden could “hurt God” and the Bible. I believe that if Biden is elected, there will be “no religion, no anything,” and he would confiscate all guns, “immediately and without notice.” He would “ABOLISH”] “our great,” “beautiful suburbs,” not to mention “the American way of life.” There would be “no windows, no nothing” in buildings.

Yes, just to make it art, and to go a sliver deeper, Conway uses the same fonts and specific wording, the stupidity comes through more cleanly.

I believe the “books” and “manuals,” if someone would just read them, say “you can test too much” for covid-19. I believe we now have 5 million cases because we test so much, and that the president was right to slow testing down, unless he was kidding — in which case he was right not to. I believe that the president has done a tremendous job fighting the virus — and that he shouldn’t “take responsibility at all”— about 160,000 Americans have died. I believe the virus “is what it is.”

One can feel Trump’s blood boiling. And yet what’s he to say?

I believe that “when the looting startsthe shooting starts,” and that the president was just stating a fact, not making a threat, when he said that. I believe it was fine for federal law enforcement to fire tear gas and rubber pellet grenades at protesters so that the president could pose with a Bible in front of a church. I believe that a 75-year-old protester in Buffalo may have been “an ANTIFA provocateur” who intentionally cracked his own skull in a “set up.”

There is more, much more. But we obviously respect fair use and encourage you to read the entire column. It opens up an interesting question, and that is whether it might be a good debate strategy for Biden to simply commit many of these to memory and continue to pound Trump on each of these, asking Trump over and over, “Which one of us has dementia?” Biden could go a long way by simply repeating Trump’s own words and phrases back to him; “I am sharp enough to know that one doesn’t inject bleach or shove a UV ray light up their ass.”

What could Trump say back to Biden? Conway is on to something here.
