Liberal Media Scream: Washington Post’s Rubin calls for reeducating Trump ‘fascists
This week’s Liberal Media Scream: Jennifer Rubin’s Bold Never Trump Campaign
Popular Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is not holding back in her ongoing battle against former President Donald Trump. During an appearance on MSNBC’s Velshi, she labeled the masses attending Trump’s rallies as “part of a fascist cult” and claimed they are impervious to facts and information.
But Rubin believes there is still hope for democracy. She argues that it is crucial to mobilize those who already recognize the danger Trump poses and to educate those who may be on the fence. These “soft Republicans” need to understand the risks of returning to Trump’s leadership.
Rubin’s Take on Trump’s Supporters
“Why it’s perhaps important to go to one of these rallies is to understand why he does have supporters. These people are part of a fascist cult. And let’s be honest, there are a lot of them. But a lot of them doesn’t mean that they are behaving logically or rationally. To the contrary, we’ve seen in other fascist regimes that millions of people, sometimes even a majority of the country, becomes intoxicated with an authoritarian figure, and these people are utterly irrational. If you speak to some of them, they will spit back these bizarro conspiracy theories. They actually believe in all of the mumbo-jumbo that he tells them.”
Rubin believes attending these rallies can serve as a wake-up call, shedding light on the beliefs and mindset of Trump’s supporters. While she acknowledges that convincing those in the “cult” is unlikely, she emphasizes the importance of rallying those who already recognize the danger Trump poses and educating those who may be undecided.
Brent Baker, the vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, criticizes Rubin’s condescending attitude towards Trump’s supporters. He questions why Rubin would insult those participating in the democratic process by labeling them as “fascists.” He reminds us that expanding participation in democracy used to be a goal of liberals.

What accusations does Rubin make against Trump in her op-ed?
Ubbed the “Never Trumper-in-Chief,” Rubin has consistently been one of the loudest voices in the liberal media against Trump and his administration. This week, Rubin continued her bold campaign against Trump, proving once again that her disdain for the former president knows no bounds.
Rubin’s latest attack on Trump came in the form of a scathing op-ed in The Washington Post, where she accused the former president of being a “clear and present danger” to American democracy. In her article, Rubin lambasts Trump for his alleged role in inciting the Capitol riots on January 6th and for his continued efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
While many other liberal pundits have moved on from the Trump era, Rubin has remained steadfast in her crusade against the former president. Her unwavering commitment to the anti-Trump cause is commendable, but it is also clear that Rubin’s bias against Trump colors her every word and action.
Throughout Trump’s four years in office, Rubin made it her mission to criticize and condemn every decision and action he took. From his immigration policies to his foreign relations, Rubin found fault with nearly every move Trump made. While it is certainly fair to critique and hold leaders accountable, Rubin’s obsession with tearing down Trump became more about personal vendetta than genuine concern for the country.
Rubin’s Never Trump campaign reached new heights during the 2020 election. She became a regular on cable news shows, where she relentlessly attacked Trump and his supporters. Her commentary was often steeped in hyperbole and over-the-top rhetoric, aimed at painting Trump and his followers as the epitome of evil.
Despite her tireless efforts, Rubin’s campaign to sway voters against Trump ultimately fell short. The former president won the support of millions of Americans who saw past the media’s biased coverage and appreciated his policies and accomplishments. Rubin, like many other liberal pundits, failed to understand the concerns and frustrations of these voters, choosing instead to dismiss them as ignorant or misguided.
Now that Trump is out of office, Rubin’s Never Trump campaign seems even more out of touch. While she continues to rail against him and his supporters, the country has moved on. Americans are more focused on rebuilding their lives and communities after the challenges of the past year. Rubin’s relentless attacks only serve to further divide the country and hinder any chance of meaningful progress.
In the end, Rubin’s never-ending campaign against Trump reveals more about her own biases and personal vendetta than any real concern for the country. While she may have a platform and a loyal following in the liberal media, her voice is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the average American. It is time for Rubin and other Never Trumpers to set aside their animosity and focus on promoting unity and productive dialogue in our nation.
As the country faces numerous challenges and uncertainties, it is important for journalists and opinion writers to rise above their personal biases and work towards a more constructive and inclusive society. Rubin’s ongoing campaign against Trump only serves to further deepen the divisions in our country, rather than bridge the gap between opposing viewpoints. It is time for the liberal media to move on and focus on the issues that truly matter to everyday Americans.
