Left and Right Opposition to Trump

The Left’s opposition to Trump is at bottom opposition to our system of government. Trump stands for the preservation of our republican form of government; the Left stands for its “fundamental transformation” (Obama), which is to say, its abolition. The never-trumping Right’s opposition to Trump is mainly to the man himself and his style which at once mesmerizes and disgusts them, so much so, that they cannot see past his style to his substance, which is in no way radical but traditional, restorative, and commonsensical.
