Thank God Donald Trump is our President. He is a real man and not a politician. He is the only politician I have ever witnessed who does not talk down to his constituents. He certainly talks down to other politicians and the media which is desirable and to be celebrated. The media really is America's enemy more than anyone else right now. He is the only President (since the Honorable President Reagan) to treat us veterans properly and with respect. Barack Hussein and Bill Clinton absolutely hated the military.
The fact Trump doesn't come across as some super privileged member of the traditional DC Swamp ruling class is unsettling to many Prog/Dim leftists. They want to be ruled over by an oppressive all power federal government....all they want ensured from government is gay marriage, unisex bathrooms, unfettered abortion, legalization of drugs, and suppression of the first amendment if you speak against the aforementioned items.

You'll see how many conservatives are left after the November landslide victory for TRUMP.

Now, let's see if he passes the bizarrely bipartisan legislation that will give the Eff Bee Eye even more power and the average citizen even less privacy. Instead of advancing these infringing policy changes, we should be reversing them all the way back to repealing the Patriot Act.

In the primary, I voted for Cruz, and my wife voted for Rubio, because I thought Trump was a fool. In the General, there was no way on this green earth I would vote for Hillary (and that was before considering abortion). But, I still held my nose and voted for Trump. My exact words were..."it is going to be entertaining." THAT was an understatement.
I will vote for Trump in 2020 smiling all the way to through the line and will watch and hopefully be entertained by CNN on election night once again.

With the electoral college it really doesn't matter in La. We are never a swing state. If you're from Colorado it's more important to make your vote count.
I get the feeling but you can still vote with your money. Find candidates in swing states that you can support and send money to they can use for campaigns. A house set in California just converted this week to the GOP in a special election. Just flipping a few House of Rep seats to the GOP can have a big impact. There are lot of blue state DNC governors and mayors who have gone berserk with covid-19 business shut down power. They are making lives miserable with a flawed strategy of economic destruction which they believe they can blame on Trump. It is backfiring on them but because they believe their own hype & their cheerleaders; NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, CNN, etc. they have yet to realize how screwed they are come election time. The DNC is going to own the economic turmoil. Send money to GOP house candidates who have a good chance of flipping some DNC seats. Seats in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois are all in play

To op: Not trying to fight at all. Your views seem to mesh with what conservatives believe. I suspect a lot of dem and libertarians views are no different than people like myself who consider their own views to mesh with being a republican voter... not a republican politician. There are a lot of rinos that don't support the platform they run under.

I voted MAGA in 2016 thinking it was a real populist chance to wrestle power back from our globalist overlords. It's been nothing of the sort.
I think Trump realized how fricked up Washington is when he became president. He’s only one man he can’t do it alone. I think it’s remarkable what he’s done considering the constant negative press and harassment driven “investigations” by the democrats.

What’s sad is that he is far more conservative than any POTUS since Reagan, and some would argue he is more conservative than him.

Good post. I can relate to a lot of it. I’ve been a registered voter for the better part of 25 years, no party affiliation, moderate on balance but maybe leaning a hair to the left. Voted 3rd party in the last election and was stunned when Trump won. I have way too much self-respect to skyscream, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have serious concerns at the time.
I don’t think I’m quite as far along as you are in the process. Nevertheless, the past few months have led to a pretty serious paradigm shift for me, and it’s one I would never have seen coming.
The most hilarious part, though? It wasn’t prompted by anything the right did or didn’t do. I never felt like I identified well with conservatives as a group, and had no reason to believe that would change, so there are many issues on which I didn’t even think to seek out information that specifically represented their viewpoints. I stupidly assumed that I was getting both sides of the story, and would have continued to do so if it weren’t for the way the mainstream media has gone ALL IN on the anti-Trump narrative lately, no matter how far they have to stretch the bounds of credibility to justify it. I don’t how care how surreal or counterintuitive it seems or how steeped in identity politics you may be, you cannot claim to be a concerned, intellectually honest person who truly values fundamental principles of American democracy and not call that shite out when you see it — especially as blatant and unabashed as it’s been in recent months.
MSM: “Trump is a xenophobic racist POS for the China travel ban; righteous Democrats fight against this tyranny!” Also MSM just weeks later: “Trump has never taken this virus seriously and is personally responsible for the deaths of innocent Americans! Only Democrats have acted to neutralize the threat!”
MSM: “TRUMP ONLY WANTS TO OPEN UP SO HE CAN KILL US ALL!” Also MSM: “Unemployment rates skyrocket as Trump’s first term draws to a close!”
MSM: “Safe, inexpensive anti-malaria drug gives hope for coronavirus treatment.” Also MSM. a few weeks later: “Because Trump mentioned this drug by name, a man in AZ had no choice but to drink aquarium cleaner and poison himself to death.”
What. the. frick. I may admittedly be naive, but I’m not a moron. You can’t print such slanted, contradictory, desperate, nakedly politicized TRASH and then tell me you’re just trying to keep me informed, all the while suppressing anything that reads counter to your own agenda (as if no one has enough common sense to spot the obvious duplicity in the first place). As uncouth and even cringeworthy as I’ve found Trump’s comportment to be at times, you can’t criticize him for that when what you’re doing is actually FAR worse. The man may be impulsive and arrogant, but I don’t see him serving me a shite sandwich and telling me it’s filet mignon. In fact, for most of his term things were going surprisingly well for me and my family for the first time in a decade.
The hell of it was, they still had me on the hook. All they had to do was maintain the status quo. Instead, they took things so far over the line that they pushed me in the other direction much more effectively than I ever could have been pulled. The scales didn’t so much fall from my eyes as they were ripped off, but I guess what matters is the end result — and also knowing that I’m not the only one.
eta: Unless of course this was the most successful reverse psychology scheme ever implemented, in which case I say “Well played.”

What? Trump's probably the least conservative Republican POTUS in my lifetime.
Trade intervention policies that are identical to Bernie Sander's, very moderate on abortion, no sense of reducing the size of government (other than rolling back agency regulations), fiscal spendthrift, has even spoken of single payer government health care favorably.

1st thought: WTF? Is this a typo? Does this guy think there are more conservatives in government than outside of government? That’s an odd way of looking at politics besides being demonstrably false.
quote:
Most everyone is moving toward either libertarian-nationalism or outright mercantilist ethno-nationalism.
Hunh? That’s some word salad if I’ve ever seen it. To say that your terms need defining is an understatement, and can I add that you have a flair for the hyperbolic?
quote:
The only conservatives left are boomers who hang on Rush Limbaugh's every word.
So, is your screed, in fact, an attack on conservatives after-all? It seemed that you were some odd type of conservative purist from your introductory sentence.
This post requires explanation to be understood,
BUT!!! Please spare me from the colossal waste of time.

Trump is more conservative than W I’d say in several regards. Not all by any means.
But I agree. He’s not a conservative. He’s a classic liberal mostly. Which isn’t all bad.
At the end of the day he’s a blunt force tool against progressivism and I’ll take what I can get.

I like your post, but this paragraph is going too far.
Be careful not to mirror the vitriol and self-righteousness of the uber-left.
Remember one of the things that separates conservative ideology from cultural marxist/ progressive ideology is that conservatives see them as people with bad ideas, whereas they see conservatives as bad people with ideas.
