Those are the core sound bites, but recently conservative party actions don't support them.
- dasil003 4mo agoThere is no conservative party in America because Trump has taken control of the Republican Party. He has no values except what is expedient for himself, any principled conservatives who speak up commit political suicide. Such is the world we live in when trust of institutions and expertise as eroded to the point that any acknowledgment of tradeoffs or nuance is met with knee jerk suspicion from the populace.
- ai_critic 4mo agoI do not understand why you are being downvoted for what is, essentially, a statement of bald fact and realpolitick. Trump took advantage of a party already weakened by the Tea Party, and successfully turned it into a cult of personality at a time when the opposition was ideologically unprepared to deal with very real policy issues that their constituents were observing.
