Where the hell have you been the last 10 years? There are plenty of "true conservative" Republicans here who get immense pleasure from pissing off MAGA Republicans.
The anti-Trump conservatives have spent a decade intentionally creating division on the right because MAGA stomped the shite out of their weak candidates.
Your attempts to blame MAGA for the behavior of the Trump haters is as pathetic as the left blaming conservatives for political violence.

MAGA isn’t conservative as far as traditional conservative values are concerned. Trump never embodied that.
Now he’s pissed all over the values that were supposed to define MAGA like draining the swamp, fiscal restraint, Middle East involvement, getting rich off the government, protecting American workers, government control of business, etc

And so why is that?
Few reasons:
Too passive
Liberals stick together no matter how deranged
Some only pose as conservatives to get elected

Trump is just transactional. He's neocon or GOPe some days, Bernie socialist others, America First populist (whatever that even is now) on others. But, he doesn't really stand for anything and so trying to defend him on principle ends up in ritual humiliation.
Tariffs and border control are the only two issues he's ever stood for and been consistent on, going back 20 or 30 years.
The rest is just however he's feeling on that particular day after binging on cable news.

Exactly. Conservatives hadn't won elections in a long time.
The "conservatives" on this board were voting neo liberals in who were pro war.

There is no place for true conservatives in the Republican Party.

The only way a republican wins is by pretending to be conservative.
They lose elections once they are exposed as neocons.

Why the frick do you care? Youre one of the least "conservative" conservative posters on here. Even though you voted for Trump 3x, who your side claims isnt a conservative himself
Very hypocritical to claim to be a conservative, while voting for a moderate 3x, doncha think?

Epstein was a democrat hoax and you fricking know it
Tariffs are the best thing that has ever happened to our country - NICE FAIL THERE

He's not "PURELY" Conservative, but he has aligned at times with the Conservative base of the Republican party.
People who define conservatism by outcomes (the Supreme Court, tax cuts, deregulation) consider him a highly effective conservative leader.
Those who define conservatism by systemic principles (free trade, fiscal restraint, institutional norms) view him as a right-wing populist rather than a traditional conservative.

No, everyone said the democrats were the clients, and then suddenly it was a hoax.
In truth, Trump blocked it to protect Israel, and you fricking know it.

Tariffs are a tax, learn economics. And instead of cutting government spending, Trump increased it and the debt. While at the same time claiming a reduction in taxes, which is an economic policy of inflation.
And now he's trying to bribe people with $5k which would cause even more inflation than he left us with at the end of his first term during covid with all those checks.
Although thankfully, the $5k is just a lie and him pissing down the backs of "true believers" like you.

Iran Deal XXXVI?
The one that has been slow walked for over a year now with 100 declared victories and 0 real results?
The war that you and others would call a huge success if we could just get back to things before Trump fricked up?
As for Venezula, some oil companies got rich off it at best.

Both of these are based on outcomes.
The first paragraph ignores any outcomes that aren't favorable to conservative principles and the 2nd paragraph doesn't.
Also, there have been 0 tax cuts. There is no such thing as an unbalanced budget, the only thing that can change is how it's paid for. If it's not paid directly in taxes, it's paid by inflation and/or more debt which is even more expensive and still causes inflation.
Deregulation seems to have been for a select few at best. Mom and pops are still having to compete with extreme regulations developed by larger corporations to prevent competition in almost every case. I don't make a ton of fuss about that, but it would be nice if it really happened more.
