Let me ask you idiots something.
How do you think the left got to the point where they call men women and vice versa and abortion "women's health care" and all of the other language they appropriate?
How do you think that started?
It started by deciding that words can mean anything you want them to mean.
Just like you dumbasses do with the word "conservative."

I know what you posted, and that's all I needed.

No, I'm not. It's pretty universally acknowledged that the Republican base has been taken over by MAGA. Or at least infiltrated to the point that MAGA has a significant influence. Do you really think that's debatable?

Populism.

You just said MAGA abandoned conservatism.
Yes, the republican party is MAGA now.
Why are you so angry?
What point are you trying to make?
The RINOS got beat. This is a good thing.

Your TDS gas caused you to make an incomprehensible post.

I mean, if you accept that neo-cons are now MAGA, you might have a slight point. Some people still act like Ted Cruz, Rubio and Lindsey Graham are "conservatives", so I guess it's basically just a lot of semantics.
Okay, Commie... Sure.

The current example of staunch conservatives is Massie who has only passed one bill in 14 years cosponsored with a radical dem. If that is what conservative means, yeah I’m far fricking from it.

This is one of the best posts I have ever read on this site. While your post before this one was accurate, this post is way more effective. Every point you make is stronger than the one before it and the ending brings it all together. If you can speak half as well as you write, you should consider running for office.
Speaking of, I have a question for you involving the collective and elections. What you said is absolutely true: the collective (I.e. political groups) will always move left. Taking this into consideration, how do people like you and I get good candidates elected to office without some sort of organizing?

The confusion is that for populists, "conservative" doesn't actually mean someone who adheres to conservative values and principles.
It just means someone who is loyal to Trump.
And Trump is Big Government, tax and spend (albeit his taxes come in the form of tariffs), enthusiastically picking winners and losers, involving government in private industry (which is, by definition, socialism), relatively anti-2nd amendment, etc. He has some conservative stances as well, but no more than, say, Bill Clinton.
You mentioned Ted Cruz, for example, who adheres to a far more conservative agenda than Trump, yet you sneer at the notion that he's a conservative.
So yeah, it's just semantics, but the stupidity in the semantics is on MAGA, who somehow thinks that the word "conservative" should have nothing to do with actually advancing conservative policies.
What conservative policies would you implement if you had the power to do so?
