lol

You think W was fiscally conservative?

The last time the Republicans were fiscally conservative was 1994.

What is a "Conservative"?

That is a serious question.

That doesn’t even make sense. Trying to argue that people that find Trump not conservative enough somehow back Adam Kinsinger is silly.


It’s wild. Trump is the most Moderate candidate any of us have had in our lifetime. There is a lot I don’t like about his positions, but all other options are so absurd that this is where we are at.

Yet, they want to try and convince everyone he is some absurd conservative extremism, while also claiming he isn’t and if you are a true Republican you’d never vote for him and you are a patriot if you vote of Kamala. Wtf?

You can argue Trump isn't conservative enough, but the secomd say you're voting for Kamala instead you destroy your entire argument and all your credibility.

So because Trump isn't conservative enough ur gonna support the most left wing candidate ever? Absolute horse shite.

A conservative government exists to protect its citizens individual freedom, to form as small a federal government as possible, to limit taxes as much as possible, to maintain fiscal discipline through a balanced budget, to ensure the rule of law, to promote the national defense.

OTOH there is not one item from the 1992 Democrat Party platform that would not be considered to be far right extremism by today's Democrat Party.

The Republican Party hasn’t been conservative since 1950.

It’s just so fitting isn’t it the anti-Trumper speaks at the DNC convention and he was on the January 6 committee pretending to be objective

The republican party hasn't been conservative since Coolidge. Voters can be conservative. Politicians have to have money and therefore will never be conservative... because that money wants access to where the real money is made.

Cuckzinger and those who defend his cuckservative behavior are simply raising their hands and admitting they have more in common with the Cultural Marxists than they have in common with America First/MAGA.

True Story.


In my youth, conservatives were fiscally conservative

DJT / fake MAGA saddled the US with the largest debt expansion in a single 4 year POTUS run.

RWR / real MAGA saddled the US with the largest debt expansion since WW II, however that was over a 8 year POTUS run.


In my youth, conservatives were real old school Christians

DJT / fake MAGA are more anti Christ than Christians


In my youth, conservatives had 1 wife and shame accompanied porn stars

DJT / fake MAGA has been married many times and publicly flaunted affairs with other women.


In my youth, conservatives HATED Nazi's and Commies

DJT / fake MAGA loves global Commies like Red Russia, Red China, and Yankee Korea. 2 of DJT's wives are from Commie satellite states. To be fair non MAGA folks like The Turtle loves Commies too, so that is not limited to fake MAGA.


In my youth, conservatives were real G&C serve and protect folks


DJT / fake MAGA mock the military, not salute it. They also have no issues with breaking laws and then using the courts to weasel a deal.




If you are a true Christian you are probably still a Republican

If you are a fake Christian anarchist you are MAGA / Republican Party

That's nonsensical. If you want to say that the GOP (at the national level) are just progressives driving the speed limit, ok. There are actual conservatives at state levels. Not enough, but they exist.

Do you think the GOP is more conservative than MAGA?


With respect to the office of president it’s hard to say, since we haven’t had a Republican in the White House except Trump since 2008.

However, the question is a false dilemma. I get that people abandoned the Republican party because they didn’t uphold conservative values as much as the base wanted. However, the base then did the stupidest thing possible. They abandoned conservative values altogether in favor of a populist MAGA agenda.

Now the base will support anything. Today’s Republican voter sounds like I remember Southern Jimmy Carter era Democrats sounding in the 70s.

So the one thing I can say for sure is that the base is less conservative under a MAGA dominated party than it was under a GOP dominated party.
