This may be overstated a bit. The part about a previous consistent orthodoxy, reality & the like, that is.
D’Souza’s eight months of hard time transformed him into a being of pure resentment, no longer concerned with maintaining conservative orthodoxy, internal consistency or any lingering ties to reality. Instead, he appears determined to mobilize the dumbest people alive in the dumbest ways possible against the subjects of his soul-destroying grudges. In other words, D’Souza became the perfect propagandist for Trump’s America.
No question about his new determination, however, & isn't D.D. fortunate to be so well attuned to the ol' zeitgeist? Seems as if every time I open Twitter the rancid bastard is atop my feed spouting blatant yet offensive absurdities.
Since the thesis itself makes no sense, D’Souza has to compensate by cranking up the pathos. In his recent works, he reenacts the worst crimes of white America in excruciating detail, a 180-degree shift from the rose-colored historiography displayed in his past works, like 2002’s What's So Great About America? His desperate need for revenge against the tyrants who put him in a halfway house led him to turn his back on the most fundamental credo of conservatism — that America was ever great.
[...]
[He] then discounts Roosevelt’s leadership in World War II by arguing that Stalin deserves sole credit for defeating the Nazis — a left-wing argument that might offend D’Souza’s Cold War-reared audience if they had more than six months of working memory. This is one of many paradoxes inherent to D’Souza’s current crusade. Throughout his tortured arguments, he endorses sentiments — admitting the Civil War was fought over slavery, backing anti-discrimination laws, and downplaying the US role in the World Wars, to name a few — that would infuriate his readers if they were attributed to a liberal.
Watching this in 2017! 1950's never will die Trump is bringing back the 50's spirit!

In any discussion of the adulterous D'Souza we'd be remiss not to mention literary smart guy Yastreblyansky's yeoman work dealing & dueling w/ D'Souza. Time he'll never get back. Much appreciated, but don't stare into the abyss too long.
