Its alright to not be conservative, be who you are. If you like his policies, that's alright.


They get riled up because they've been trying to gatekeep conservatism for 8 years, and it's falling apart on them.

And he doesnt understand it either, if he thinks that percent of debt is wildly affected by the number of years. Trumps term is proof of that. The value of the dollar wasnt even remotely where it was when he took over. So his percent of debt will be different, even if he spent the exact same as any other 4 year president. Because of covid

But you knew that, right?

No. Because they all were conservatives and this board was ultra conservative, they feel this vast need to justify their choice of a much more moderately liberal candidate over much more conservative candidates.

Its human nature.

Its not necessary.

Trump is not about policy, he's about personality, and they like it.

Not by me, because I don't see the point in repeating what someone already explained to you if you think you can wave your hand and make your stupidity go away.

...but, hey...tell us more about career batting averages and free throw percentages you fricking clown.

Many on this board were.

This board was pretty darn conservative at times.

Its changed quite a lot to a much more liberal board, and the conservatives feel the need to justify their choices, instead of just being honest.

They like the personality and policy is something they can live with.

You've repeatedly said how much you think Conservatism loses, so you have decided that because Liberalism wins, you will move left.

Whatever wins is what you will go with.

Good for you, I commend you for being honest. It must feel nice to win.

Who? The few I can think of have no issues with criticizing Trump, even if they're planning to vote for him. The majority change with whichever way the wind is blowing.

I think RINOs of which you speak are absolutely conservative, and would describe themselves as such

BUT, the problem is that they are often spineless and terrible at understanding negotiating and leverage dynamics, so they get taken to the cleaners at accomplishing policy.

That's why Trump, who is probably less of a true conservative than many RINOs, actually ACCOMPLISHES Conservative agendas at a much higher level.

If you are conservative, you cannot be a RINO.

It goes against the literal definition of RINO.

Trump is a RINO.

A) Not what I said at all. False.

B) I've already admitted I was drunk as a motherfricker before a St Patrick's day when I posted that, and regret it.

C) The person that is the loon is the one that says that they believe American Conservatives need to be treated the same as Islamic Terrorists.

Great way of proving the useless of the term RINO.

The truth is MAGA isn't Republican. MAGA are the true RINOs.

Republican post Reagan means wanting to intervene across the planet, a willingness to lose on the cultural side of politics to ensure American stability, and the need to seem compassionate while accomplishing goals. MAGAs are none of these things.

The only reason that MAGAs can't accept that they aren't Republicans is because the Republicans are the conservative power structure in place, so to reject the Republican brand is to reject access to power.

But it doesn't change the fact that for 50 years prior to Trump Republican meant a very certain thing that MAGAs don't support. Its one of those "if everyone you meet is an a-hole you are probably the actual a-hole" type situations.

the question was what president(s) since WWII were MORE conservative than Trump.


Every fricking one of them.

End of story.




On what planet??

Dubya Bush: War Mongering little sh*t. NOT "conservative" by any stretch . NOT "conserving" ANY thing. NOT promoting or preserving traditional American institutions, nor customs, NOR values, and especially NOT Freedom. Patriot Act facilitator. Great Pals with Y0bamas.

Which other post-WW2 Presidents did less -- FAR LESS than Trump at maintaining, advancing or promoting the above -- in the name of "conservativism"?

-- Poppy Sr: Anything BUT "Conservative."; Advanced and promoted pure Globalism while demolishing traditional American interests); Ruined Reagan's 10-year NO-WAR streak. Demolished peace objectives, launched war for war sake in Iraq. Evil personifed.

-- Nixon: Demolished & debased the currency. Ushered in countless Federal Reg Overlord Agencies; Pandered to Communist China (Thanks to Globalist Kissinger); Continued needlessly sacrificing American lives in Nam. Anti-"Conservative".

"End of Story" (NOW)
