Every time I ask the "there were no tradeoffs" crowd how one was supposed to advance conservative policy in the Trump era without Trump, any answer I get back is "forget the part where you advance conservative policy."

Example: Read what he says about advancing conservative policy here - not a word. (Not even the courage to say my name, let alone read the column). It's easy to take cheap potshots when you don't actually care about conservative policies or principles. https://twitter.com/shannon_last/status/1352715018098384901 …

The problem of advancing right over wrong, when right requires alliance with Trump & all his malignancies, has always been a hard one. Anyone who tells you there was a simple solution with no grave tradeoffs is selling you something.

"Opposing Trump is worth locking conservatives out of all opportunity to do good things for sixteen years straight" is *an* answer, but it is one that acknowledges that you could not do both.https://twitter.com/DarthHoo744/status/1352718614256881667 …

The problem with "bad within normal parameters" is precisely that things that are the same kind of bad as in the past are more likely to become permanent fixtures of the system.https://twitter.com/adamsolo/status/1352718200409124869 …

You also cannot get it done with Biden. But you can build the plans & public support for the next time you get your turn. Harder to get anyone interested in "we'll do this when we get power" when you have power & aren't doing it. https://twitter.com/ShayKhatiri/status/1352722555673604096 …

Well I guess the legislative branch could pass laws snd send them to the White House for signature or veto.

What part of that prevents proposing or promoting conservative values? They promoted demagogic values all day, but they couldn't find any time for their principles? And it's not like it's impossible. Amash managed it; he just quit the party first.

"He made it affirmatively impossible to pursue right over wrong unless you were willing, to at least some limited extent, to play ball with him or avoid directly confronting him." Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney and Justin Amash did nothing?

Two of the three did not even run for re-election. Flake abandoned any effort to stand up for good policy. Amash left the party.
