To be fair, I think thats a problem manifesting itself in broader society as well and obviously liberalism. Stupid fricking Trumpkins in this thread think that is a valid argument and justification of conservatives doing it, which is pathetic.....but what I've come to expect.

Trump, however, exploited such divisions for his own gain. He tapped into something disturbing that we had ignored and perhaps nurtured—a shift from freedom to authoritarianism, from American “exceptionalism” to nativism and xenophobia. From his hard line on immigration and rebuttal of free trade to his strange fascination with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump represented a dramatic repudiation of the values that had once defined the movement.
If Reagan were alive, he would hardly recognize his party—or the walls it had erected.

This guy is a conservative? Sounds like the rhetoric from the left.

Then he wants to talk about Reagan after the GOPe gave us Papa Bush, W, McCain, Romney and yet another Bush. He doesn't know what in the frick being conservative is.

And now you being a lefty wants to try to tell people what being a conservative is supposed to be? Seems rather smug.

It's so pathetic the Indians took up firearms when fighting the settlers, but I've come to expect stupidity like that from them.
