Naw. They flip flop, like the people who were for the Iraq War/Patriot Act in the mid-00s who were "small government conservatives" in the early 2010s during the Tea Party, who then supported fedgov in the late 2010s, who now claim to be against big fedgov.

Flip floppers who follow trends who have no personal values.

This was nearly everyone after 9/11.

What I remember most from the Boston Marathon bombing was a discussion on militarization of local police through military surplus sales. I don't have a problem with that. Much better than leaving it all in Afghanistan.

IRONY ALERT

Predictably, your lazy, anti-intellectual, 2D-thinking ilk always tend to lump all "conservative" into one "Deplorables Basket".

THE FACT: "Conservatives" can NOT be characterized as being one Monolithic group[/b] (much as are Progs, Dems, Commies, Gr00mers)

You clearly misunderstand the dynamics of HOW conservatives actually processed the Iraq War/ Pat Act information, or WHO "Small Gubmint Conservatives (like the much maligned-by-your-ilk Tea Party). Feral Overreach from 9II onward has been sussed out at various stages by various "conservatives"

And btw, ALL "flip-floppers" are to be commended in that THEY[i] change they mind after examining the evidence and process info.

Conservatives are 180 degrees unlike un-principled Prog-Socialist-Dem-Rat ideologues. Rats are 99% incapable of "flip-flopping" because they are totally and completely brainwashed and broken, UNABLE to process ANY of reality's new info that might break their spell of programming, changing their (alleged) mind.

(Does the latter sound a bit like you?)
