I know I should be over it, but the speed at which the organized conservative movement became the ideological home of Marion Le Pen, Seb Gorka, Nigel Farage, Dinesh D'Souza and their ilk remains shocking to me.
I think about this constantly. It is beyond shocking to me. The utter capitulation to it and the absolute abandonment of any principle. Sometimes I feel like a sucker who got conned by the shady salesman . I actually believed in a lot of what we were supposed to believe in

I know you don't believe this, but you need to face up to the fact that the GOP's pipular appeal was always based in coded racism - Trump just made the dogwhistles audible.

Three cheers for that sentiment. Can someone wake me up when it’s okay to be conservative in the non lunatic sense again?

It is time to STOP JOKING. Progressives want: Equality Security / privacy (cyber/infrastructure/air & ports) WAR is last resort. Healthcare (benefits all citizens) Environmental Protections Education Balanced Budget & admit-NO SUCH THING-"free market capitalism" or "trickling"

Hang tough, Steve. I’m on the other side of the aisle, but I’ve come to truly value your insight. We need true conservatives to speak up.

Fact. I’m also on the other side of the aisle, but intelligent, compassionate conservatives like Steve pull me toward the center where both left & right should reside to have thoughtful political discourse.
