re: "Conservatism" has to be more than just a defensive posture

The others completely failed to confront liberal identity politics. The others completely failed to confront censorship. The others completely failed to confront even leftist violence! In fact, when the leftist violence was directed at Trump supporters in 2015, the others sided AGAINST Trump's supporters.

Oh sure. NOW that Trump finally made it somewhat fashionable, they all jumped on board. Talk about leading from the rear!

Look. Politically, in ideal world, I far prefer Cruz, Desantis and a host of others. But ALL of them showed no fricking backbone whatsoever until some fricking TV personality showed up to demand it. Which, frankly is sad, but no less true despite it being sad.

You are correct. There is no conservative choice. The reason there is no conservative choice is because conservatism isn't even on the table until the above is given it's political death. You aren't going to get any flavor whatsoever of conservatism as long as conservatives are scared shitless of BLM and white suburban women calling them names.
