I have my share of grievances with Donald Trump and his movement. I don’t think it is a conservative political movement, and I am a conservative. I don’t think that the movement or its signature candidate are electorally viable, and I want to keep Democrats from winning as many electoral offices as possible. I don’t think the way Donald Trump conducts himself is befitting of a well-adjusted adult, much less a president, and I don’t think his presence on the political stage is healthy for our civics or our collective psychological health. But do I think Donald Trump is the leader of a death cult who is driving millions of Americans to suicidal acts of violence in his name? Of course not.
That is apparently not the view shared by MSNBC commentator and former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi. His latest opinion piece for MSNBC.com was garnished with the following search-engine-optimization headline designed to drive traffic and readership: “Utah man killed by FBI joins a growing list of people willing to die for Trump.”
