What’s fascinating is to see the reaction of the Never Trumpers.
A tweet by Never-Trumper Allahpundit asks why Trump continues to “flog” Biden. “It helps Democrats; Biden is already slipping in the polls and seems unlikely to win; even if Biden does win, Trump could revive this next year.”
And there you see the viewpoint of the Never-Trumpers. They view Biden’s corruption through a lens of politics. They agree with the Democrats and the rest of the media that Trump is doing this for purely political reasons. They never actually entertain the idea that Trump is really trying to expose high-level political corruption in DC; that he’s actually working to drain the swamp.
That’s because when you’re part of the swamp, political corruption is perfectly normal. They're so much part of it that the only reason they can imagine for accusing someone of corruption is to gain a political advantage over a political foe. To Allahpundit and the shrinking cadre of Never-Trumpers, it's inconceivable that anyone would actually want to expose corruption for the purpose of ridding the nation of corruption.
They think that political office naturally leads to great wealth ... like it does in Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela ... and the rest of the Third World. It's a perk of office; a payoff for being an elected official who's base pay is modest by corporate standards.
They see the evil and are perfectly fine with it.
