Angry Reader

A few days ago Victor Davis Hanson posted a letter he received from an angry reader, and his response to it. The reader was student at the time that he kept up with Hanson, there was a lapse, and now he's a professor.
Sample:

About 15 or 20 years ago, I used to read your articles voraciously. I sent them to fellow graduate students—nearly all of whom were overwhelmingly liberal—in order to give them a jolting shot of truth. 

That was then and this is now. 

I expected a man of your background and intellect to be a fierce critic of the current President of the United States. Ancient history is chock full of bombastic demagogues. You know them well. The lessons of history are ripe for the plucking.

Response.
Sample:

I have written of Trump’s chemotherapeutic nature as well as the cancer it was designed to combat, and the side effects of the therapy upon the public. Try to avoid snap judgements in which someone who agrees with you is saintly and then satanic when they do not.

The best parts are at Victor Hanson's site.
