        Perhaps we should stop referring to the GOP as “conservative.” These folks are not conservative in any way, except one: they want to conserve power, wealth, and privilege for White American Christians.

        Totally agree. Calling people like Trump Nunes hannity or Meadows conservatives renders the word completely meaningless. These are fringe right wing extremists. 1/3 of the voting population is running our government and installing #christiansharia

        Your column is spot on. I feel like the GOP has deserted me and the values it used to stand for. The principles which first attracted me seem to have vanished in a flash, making me wonder if they were even there in the first place.

        A friend born in the USSR tells me that in Russia, Trump's level of corruption would only be considered minor-league.
