Agreed. However, many of us conservatives were in similar circumstances for different reasons. I for one actually voted for both Bushes thinking that they were just extensions of Ronald Reagan. In my political evolution I've realized how I've been duped my entire life. To think now that I actually supported the ex CIA head is something I'm not proud of.
We need to patiently accept them understanding that they may be trying to con us. Let their truth come out before we judge them. A convert can be a powerful ally or a raging infection. Time will tell.

Prime example is Ana Kasparian. If she looked like a nose tackle, people wouldn't care. But, because she's moderately attractive, there are guys who have convinced themselves she's MAGA and worthy of a cabinet position. She's still a hardcore socialist. She's just mad the Democratic Party has bungled things so badly.

but they still naively believe the rest of their views are perfectly fine and maybe they can introduce some of their other ideas to their new audience.

This is basically what happens when they migrate to other areas. And that is how those areas end up screwed.

I feel that way about RFK Jr and Tulsi. They actively wanted to be part of that frickery. The left just wouldn't let them. Although I do believe Tulsi has at least renounced her membership.

I still remember when OP had a meltdown and said he wasn’t voting

Most curious.

What “issues with Trump’s treatment of the military” cause you concern?

What “conspiracy theories” is he spreading?

Now age gives several characteristics that can be good and bad.

Age can increase the chances of death. Now Trump is 78 1/2 years old. The average life span of a 75 year old white-non Hispanic American male in 2016, as per the CDC is 11.2 years. So subtracting 7.5 on average he should live 3.7 years past his term. But, he is in vigorous health for his age. And I contend that assassination is the largest threat to his life, and that is not age dependent.

Age can bring on senility, but he shows absolutely no signs of impairment.

Age can increase one’s knowledge, experience, and wisdom! He has demonstrated all of this.

Therefore his age is a net positive.

Unfortunately many people don't see the bigger picture nor their motivation. They are merely a bridge to get the far left back to being somewhat centrists....all the while fooling us on the right.

However many “republicans” have fallen victim to extremeism in the past several years

Yall consider Trump to be "extreme" when in fact he is a 1992 Democrat

Clinton was the last centrist

If you mean Bill, okay I can see an argument there. If you mean Hillary...



...we have vastly different definitions of "centrist".

Two lefts don’t make a right.

None of these have anything to do with true conservatism

All just terrible examples. You should be embarrassed. Try again.
