This struggle is long over. Orbanistas won overwhelmingly and absolutely. 90% plus of the Republican base actively hates Reagan-style conservatives now. If you don't recognize that, you're in denial.

Replying to @simple_centrist @jaynordlinger
Reagan's single positive was that he opposed the left's primary program of the time - "surrender" to and merge with the USSR - he capitulated on everything else. Seeing as how there's no more USSR what even is Reagan conservatism? Just capitulation to the left on everything?
