'They're screwed and know it': Naval War College professor blasts 'nervous breakdown' of Trump sycophants

The conservative National Review, a longtime cornerstone of the conservative movement's intellectual wing, quickly fell in with President Donald Trump after his election, and most recently has published a series of pieces clashing with Never Trump conservative Max Boot over the American right's white supremacy problem — calling him and his supporters "self-loathing whites ... paralyzed by intersectional deference."

As another Never Trump conservative, Naval War College Professor Tom Nichols, put it, this is a microcosm of the "Trump-compliant right's" realization that there is no way to divorce their supposed principles from Trumpism — and the future of their place in conservative thought looks bleak.
