    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” -- Frank Wilhoit. Compare Trump complaining about FBI to his celebration of ICE

        Not the best summation of conservatism I've ever heard. Can't you criticize Trump, who is no conservative, without demonizing millions of your fellow Americans in the process?

        everybuddha Retweeted Leader McConnell

        Conservatives have been threatening to shoot us all & called us traitors & worse for years now. Show me your conservatives in Congress speaking out against Trump, besides the few who quit and so now they speak out. Look at Ryan and McConnells tweets todayhttps://twitter.com/SenateMajLdr/status/983425291816263680?s=20 …

        Conservatism is the fear that someone, somewhere, may not be getting adequately punished.

        . @normangoldman - here is a definition of conservatism and trumpism. Conservatism = protecting the privilege of wealthy white men.
