Listen up #NeverTrumpers

Tom Krannawitter has some words of advice from Aristotle for the #NeverTrump people:

THOUGHTS ON ‪#‎NEVERTRUMP‬
One of the most important lessons offered by Aristotle -- which is also among the most difficult to understand and accept, and often overlooked or missed altogether by those who study Aristotle professionally -- is the infinite malleability of natural right.
If one asked Mr. Aristotle: "What is the right thing to do?" He would answer: "Well, it all depends. What are the particulars of the situation? What are the options? What's possible and what's not?"
That's because natural right is not some doctrinaire, categorical, neatly pre-packaged teaching. Rather, natural right is an exercise of prudence. And prudence requires the use of reason, combined with experience, in judging what to do in a particular, changing situation in light of unchanging principles.
That's why Aristotelians rarely if ever say "never." They know that they cannot know all possible future situations -- so there's no way human reason can know what is "never" right, just as there's no way reason can know what's "always" right.
Right always requires judgment. And judgment always depends on the particulars of here and now, which will change as one moves ahead to the then and there. Simply stated: One cannot know now what might be the best option, or the lesser of evils, in some future circumstance because one cannot know now all the particulars of a future circumstance.
Those who have already declared #NeverTrump clearly skipped over the core moral teaching of Aristotle. Or maybe they reject it. Whatever the case, they demonstrate that they are not the prudential reasoning kinds.
Rather, they are doctrinaires looking for simple, categorical, pre-packaged doctrinal answers -- as if the answers to all practical questions that pop up in the course of human time are to be found in some teacher's edition of the Textbook for Life.
Unfortunately, there is no teacher's edition of any such Textbook: Any Textbook for Life, itself, is subject to the judgment of human reason and prudence. That's how human beings discriminate between and choose which Textbooks for Life to study and which to ignore. At least for those willing to think.
