3) It's so interesting to me that a Trumpist would respond to a comment about patriotism with a reply about "career."

@dbongino 's mind literally cannot process a thought about the concept "country" without substituting the concept "self"
@dbongino 4) I mean, suppose it were true that I - or anyone - had wrecked his or her career by speaking against our Russia-compromised president. Wouldn't that be an admirable, laudable thing to do? Apparently not in @dbongino eyes. For him, the test is only: did you successfully cash in?
@dbongino 5) Indeed, there *ARE* people whose careers have been harmed by standing up for their country against Trump. Former ambassador Maria Yanokovich was one, the presumed whistleblower being targeted by President Trump for intimidation is another. Those are the good guys.
@dbongino 6) One thing that Trump usefully does is reveal what you value. The line you so often hear from Trump defenders like @dbongino - "ha ha we're making so much more money out of our racket than you" - is hugely telling. Just not in the way he imagines.
