Too late.
Conservatives are the RINOs now. The party as a whole doesn’t want our values, our thoughts.
All they want is our money and our votes, and for us to shut the hell up and fall in line.
And like a co-dependent, abused wife, who is told; “You got no place else to go, and you are too dumb to make it on your own.” most of us will do just that.
(not I)
Except for the word "now", you are 100% correct. I used a similar sentence as a tag a few years back and was excoriated for it, so be ready....the flames are coming.
