National Review has been a home for #NeverTrumpers, perhaps their nerve center. That makes the appearance there of a John O'Sullivan article sympathetic to the Trump takeover of the GOP particularly interesting. Perhaps NR does plan to be relevant going forward.
O'Sullivan's point, the GOP's peasants have revolted and deposed the party gentry. They've done so because that gentry consistently pursued interests contrary to those of the party's lumpen proletariat.
Given where the article appears, it is remarkably non-judgmental of Trump who, O'Sullivan observes, simply reflects grassroots Republican feelings and attitudes. Right in one. O'Sullivan is less sure, of course, that those attitudes are the correct ones, but he observes them to be genuinely felt.
