I think that is true. Of course Bernie lines up with the growing progressive left in the Democratic Party, where as never Trump is a distinct minority.
Perhaps the issue is the term itself. There are a few elected Republicans that will oppose based on issue at hand. The mechanism of the Republican Party probably holds true there are no #NeverTrump at least openly, but why would there be-it is a symbiotic relationship at this point. So dissent comes from outside the "official" party, and #NeverTrump makes a good intro for certain people in certain circles.
You raise an interesting dynamic, I'm glad you mention it: I wonder how the counter culture of the 60's that many of them romanticize would react to them now? Not the actual people now well into their 60s today, but put then 20-somethings in a room with current 20-somethings-I doubt there would be as many similarities as they think.
[Po1] Frankly I'm surprised the number isn't higher. Would be interesting to see an issue-by-issue breakdown, as people's price tag no doubt vary by passion. Informative, and a harsh indictment on how we've taught civic responsibility. This nugget of depressing dystopian logic sums it up "Nearly ten percent said they would give up their child’s right to vote for life. Very generous of you, making that sort of decision." God help us.
One thing we learned from this, and more important than the actual strike itself for where we go from here; Russian talk of “full-blown military escalation” was-at least for now-unfounded. We are in communication with the Russians, told them to go stand in the corner while we smacked their boy Assad's hands, and despite all their bellowing they did just that, moving out of the way and sitting this one out. As always, ignore most of what the Kremlin says and believe their actions. Their goal is still appearance of power projection and increasing arms sales and fighting US/coalition forces straight up hurts both those objectives. But the overall equation for US hasn't changed much, other than Assad will think harder knowing Russia doesn't really have his back. There are still no good options. There is no win here, just divergent paths of bad.
